Teflon: Making music in a recession
The Athens-based band says many of their lyrics reflect the despair and hope of the economic situation.
Teflon is an Athens-based band that makes music it describes as being “somewhere between post-rock and alternative”.
Many of the band members have experienced first-hand the effects of the economic crisis in Greece, and their lyrics reflect both the despair and hope in the country right now.
Three out of five of them are unemployed and try to get by with occasional work. Of the two that work, one is a freelance geotechnical engineer and the other works as a delivery boy.
Kostas Gamma is the vocalist and guitar player, Dimitris Grigoriadis plays the drums, Dimitris Pallis is the bassist, Kostas Tsiolis plays the keyboards, and Thanasis Dimakopoulos plays the guitar.
They hope to self-release their first album, which consists of songs written and composed between 2007-2010.
