The Atavists in Davle

The Atavists are a Czech rock band whose sound is built around frontman, guitarist and main songwriter Adam Krofian - his baritone and guitar lines are complemented by electric organ, synthesizer and a hard-hitting rhythm section. The band was formed in late 2014.

Notable milestones include reaching the final of the international GBOB competition in Berlin, opening for Norwegian Kvelertak, Scottish Biffy Clyro at Prague's Lucerna and Muse and Skunk Anansie. Their debut album "Bad Times" came out in early 2016, the second "Lo-Fi Life" in March 2018 and won two Anděl awards - Discovery of the Year and Best Rock Album. Their third album "Preder Than You" was released in 2022 with three music videos and a live concert recording; it was nominated for an Anděl in the Rock category.

The band is currently working on their fourth album, which is expected to be released in 2025.
