Bagdad
You don’t have to live in the Pacific Northwest to understand the bone-deep, exhausted tension of grunge. Formed in 2023 by Franciszek Drobiński and Wojciech Stach, Wrocław, Poland’s bagdad found their missing piece with drummer Jakub Gadamski. Their 2025 debut EP, They Don’t Know, channels early-‘90s sludge through the distinct, overcast lens of Eastern European melancholia. Tracks like “Valley of Dry Bones” are deliberate, claustrophobic exercises in tension, pushing tempos to an agonizing crawl. The strongest musical chemistry often comes from sharing the same suffocating room and finding a way to break out of it.
