Bankrupt

Inspired by the best moments of punk rock history, Budapest three-piece Bankrupt deliver a unique blend of oldschool and newschool melodic punk rock, tinged with some garage rock and power pop. Regardless of what hype is going on right now on what was earlier called the punk rock scene, Bankrupt stick to the music they like, and continue writing songs that sound the way punk rock was meant to be. Nasty. Fast. Melodic. Shorter than Danny DeVito. Hence the title of their third album released on local label PiaRRecords.

During the 10 years of their existence, Bankrupt have played about 250 concerts, including several big festivals, in Hungary and nearby countries like Austria, Germany, the Czech Republic, Italy, Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia, and Serbia while their music also got a friendly reception in other parts of Europe, and in the US. Both Shorter Than Danny DeVito and the band’s second album, Bad Hair Day were welcomed by a 10/10 rating by the prominent German punk/hc portal southspace.de.

Bankrupt is proud to have supported internationally recognised acts like the Toy Dolls (UK), Randy (SWE), D.O.A. (CAN), The Real McKenzies (CAN) and many others. They played festivals in Germany (Townquake Ansbach, WGSOAF Rübenau, Uni-Sommerfest Munich, Tsukahara Festival Sailauf, Fuck’n’Roll Festival Eisenach, Bike’n’Roll Festival Grossröhrsdorf bei Dresden), Austria (Wheelbite, Halloween Festival, Eastpark, Mühl-O-Mat, Moshpit, Reed Rock etc.), the Czech Republic (Mighty Sounds, Punk Aid, Jižňak), Croatia (Dirty Old Festival), Slovenia (No Border Jam), and Hungary (Sziget, Wanted, EFOTT, V4, etc.).

Currently the band is playing summer festivals in Germany, the Czech Rep, Austria, and Hungary to introduce their new album to the various audiences.
