Biography

Danceble post-punk activists Bernays Propaganda are one of the region's currently most successful and internationally recognized music acts from Macedonia. They released 5 full-lengths on Moonlee Records (Happiness Machines, 2009; My Personal Holiday, 2010; Zabraneta Planeta, 2013; Politika, 2016; Vtora mladost, treta svetska vojna, 2019), toured Europe many times and even toured US for six weeks in spring 2014. After few line-up changes Bernays Propaganda is reincarnating with new sound, new challenges and new vision. In September 2019 they released 5th full-length album with the well-timed title ‘Vtora mladost, treta svetska vojna’ (2nd Youth, 3rd World War). Defined by catchy pop songwriting and stripped-down production, the album inventively blends influences of late 70s and early 80s post-punk, new wave, alternative rock, Detroit electro, Balkan and African folk music. Skeletal dance-punk and electro grooves are combined with minimalist bass riffs, pulsating synth lines and Kristina’s spellbinding voice and lyrics, resulting in a hip-shaking mixture of dancefloor and protest anthems. Dance, clap, sing and celebrate civil disobedience, human rights and freedom! Bernays Propaganda are inviting us to a politically engaged dance!
