Soft whipped cream served on coarse-grained sandpaper.


Rock fused with electro music; or a tender caress in the blaze of a plasma eruption on their debut album, Piece of My Life. This auteurs record, presented by Nèro Scartch, combines dance catchiness, the rhythmic tirades of sharpened guitars and rocking rhythms.

Nèro, with one exception, is the sole author of the lyrics and music; and beside the vocals, actual keyboard and electronics, he brings back his drumming skills. Indeed, Nèro defended second place in the national drumming competition. However, when working on the album, Jakub Svoboda didn’t hesitate to cooperate with Tomáš Konůpka, who took over the production and directed the project throughout. They approached Rista Sokolovski and together created an unexpectedly strong debut.


The beginning of the whole project and the nickname Nèro Scartch was initiated earlier, as Jukub Svoboda explains: “I got this nickname from my brother sometime in 2004 when we had a punk-rock band Hromy Blesky (i.e. thunder lightning). We started recording some demos in the practice room and we kept on buying new equipment. The turning point came in 2010 when we came across the production program Logic Pro. That’s actually how my solo production started. A completely new world opened its door for me; I began to explore new possibilities, sounds which I had no idea that existed, how to create them, I recorded some ideas until, after a year, there it came, my first single I Feel So Lonely. This was the beginning of it all.” The debut record reflects not only the wealth of experience from previous.......
