A little tour!

    This summer, we really felt like we were on tour! We just started a band and gigs just kept coming! We had amazing times in Belgrade, Zrenjanin, Smederevo, Zrenjanim again, Novi Sad and, for now, Kovačica!
      It wasn't exactly like a tour, since when you have it, you usually have gigs every night. We had gigs every or every other week. But this time, it happened to us that one night we were support for Raskid13 in Zrenjanin, and the day after we had a concert on Punk Festival in Club Fest in Belgrade! 
      As always, Victoria came to Zrenjanin so we were able to have some rehearsals before these gigs! That was the time we have finally fully practiced our new song Attention and were very hyped about it! And believe me when I say hyped (or excited)! Because totally randomly, on a rehearsal, we invented a breakdown in a song and speeded up the tempo! It probably sounds like nothing special, but you know that feeling when something you made/wrote, feels so good and you are so proud of yourself!
    Attention is one song we wrote a few months after we wrote all of our songs, so we could see that it was quite different. We are finding our style and we really like it, and we were so proud to see improvement!!
    We proudly performed it both nights and we are glad that audience liked it, they even made mosh pits!!
    Raskid13 singer, Slavko, invited us to play as a support for his second band which is Goatmare and the Hellspades. Which we are really honored to play, since Victoria really loves that band and she even wrote one of Affliction's song - Ruža iz groba (A graveyard rose)
    Quick interesting fact about how we wrote it: Andrea and Victoria were waiting for a bus early in the morning since they went to all 4 days of Exit Festival, and something on the bus station broke in a specific rhythm. They suddenly changed their instruments and while Victoria was singing a riff, Andrea came up with the idea of how to follow it on drums! And that's how we wrote one of our favorite songs! :D
    However, since its lyrics are romantic but also morbid, we dedicated it to Slavko because it was inspired by his lyrics for Goatmare, and it was one really wholesome moment 🥰
    We had a great time after both gigs, especially the first one where we enjoyed Raskid13 playing later and talking to them after the gig. Awesome people! To be honest, even before the gig, we wanted to ask Slavko if we could perform together with Goatmare. But when he asked us himself, we were unbelievably happy and we still can't wait to perform with them
    Punk Fest was also great, we were especially happy to play there since our first gig was in Club Fest and it will always have a special place in our hearts! Since we played with a lot of bands, we met a lot of new people, even did our first interview! And with this post, we want to thank Underground Svirke Srbija who sent us a whole recording of our gig! Thanks to that, we published that version of our song Attention, which you can find on our Youtube channel.
