ČAD SK
Crust-grind band Čad from Svätý Jur have been on the scene for 22 years. In 2011, they won a Radio_Head Award in the category of hard&heavy for their album Ťažký kov. Since 2006, they play with a “family” line-up – siblings Pišta Vandal and Baška are in charge of axes and Baška's husband is a drum hammer named Váler Tornád. In 2012's interview for hudba.sk, Pišta Vandal describes the band as follows: “We're teetotallers and since 1994 the only way for us to let off steam is music. It's a really great way to relax. I go to the studio, plug in my guitar and play it loud. That's when I totally disappear, I dive into the sea, and don't exist. There's just the sound and me in it.”
