Wanastowi vjecy
Gritty Czech alternative rock that balances punk-inspired rebellion with polished, cinematic production. High-energy anthems for late nights and loud rooms.

Wanastowi Vjecy sounds like the intersection of a smoky underground club and a massive outdoor arena. Their music is anchored by Robert Kodym's unmistakable raspy baritone, which carries a sense of weathered wisdom and rock-and-roll defiance. The guitars are thick and layered, often shifting from aggressive, punk-tinged power chords to more intricate, atmospheric textures that hint at their experimental origins.
What truly sets them apart is their ability to weave exotic instrumentation and avant-garde flourishes into what otherwise feels like a classic rock foundation. They aren't afraid to be strange, yet they possess a melodic sensibility that has made them staples of the Czech mainstream. It is music that feels deeply rooted in the specific urban grit of Prague, capturing both its historical weight and its modern restlessness.
Start with 'Lži, sex & prachy' to hear them at their most raw and influential, or dive into '333 stříbrnejch stříkaček' for a more refined look at their mid-career peak. They are the perfect choice when you want rock that has real dirt under its fingernails but still knows how to deliver a massive, singalong chorus.
Wanastowi Vjecy is a Czech rock band formed in 1988 in Prague. The group consists of Robert Kodym on vocals and guitar, Štěpán Smetáček on drums, Tomáš Vartecký on guitar, and Radek Havlíček on bass. They began as a punk band but settled into a mainstream rock sound by the early 1990s. Kodym and former member P.B.CH. were also in the band Lucie, led by David Koller, which they had formed together in 1985. The duo formed the core of Wanastowi Vjecy until 2010, when P.B.CH. left.
