In just one year of existence, Kraum, the explosive duo from Geneva, has clearly marked their territory. At the helm of this punk synth wave, post-punk, and new wave adventure are Fabio and Alexey, both 19 years old. Whether they sing in Swedish, Fabio’s native language, or Russian, Alexey’s country of origin, their impactful tracks make no concessions. They tackle themes such as the replacement of humans by machines and the absurdity of the contemporary world. True to the Geneva squat scene, Kraum adopts a no-compromise DIY approach, and their unwavering determination places them among the most vibrant bands of the past year. On stage, Kraum has quickly built a solid reputation, igniting iconic venues of the Geneva scene and underground parties. Their hopeless music, tailored for a young audience hungry for eighties sounds, asserts itself with force and precision. Drawing inspiration from bands like Kino, Joy Division, Grauzone, as well as more recent creators like Molchat Doma or the mysterious Noir Boy George, Kraum crafts a unique sound universe that transcends time.
