Intro

Joker Out delivers a sound they've dubbed 'shagadelic rock,' a blend that feels both vintage and sharply modern. It is characterized by bright, interlocking electric guitars, a rhythm section that leans heavily into danceable grooves, and the smooth, versatile vocals of Bojan Cvjetićanin. The music carries a natural swagger, balancing the grit of alternative rock with the infectious accessibility of 21st-century pop.

What truly sets them apart is their ability to maintain a 'live band' energy even within highly polished studio productions. There is a palpable chemistry between the members that translates into tight, rhythmic interplay and choruses designed for mass singalongs. While their roots are in the Slovenian scene, their melodic sensibilities are universal, often incorporating subtle disco influences and synth textures that elevate their sound from standard garage rock to something more cinematic.

For those new to the band, 'Carpe Diem' is the essential starting point for its sheer anthemic power, but diving into the album 'Demoni' reveals a more nuanced, darker side of their songwriting. It is music for people who want the organic feel of a real band without sacrificing the dopamine hit of a great pop hook.

Joker Out is a Slovenian indie rock band formed in Ljubljana in 2016. They represented Slovenia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 with the song "Carpe Diem", placing 21st. Their discography includes three studio albums: Umazane misli (2021), Demoni (2022), and Souvenir Pop (2024).
