Artists To Watch In 2026: Kultur Shock

Meet Seattle, WA based Kultur Shock – multinational ‘Gypsy Punk’ pioneers, led by irrepressible ball of energy and good cheer, Gino Yevdjevich.Kultur Shock  mixes Balkan folk melodies and bizarre meters with face-melting metal and blood-pumping punk rock in a pagan cauldron of lyrical, obnoxious, and politically irreverent music stew since 1996. 

With rumors of a new album dropping this year, a good place to start is Kultur Shock ’s Alternative Tentacles 7” debut. “King” and “Country Mohammed” have been live show favorites for some time, and Alternative Tentacles is pleased to showcase them to our audience. With an all-new album is in the works, with hopefully more vinyl reissues of their past CD-only albums to follow, and an unbelievable live show.... Kultur Shock  is here to stay.

Get on board, and pick up "King/Country Mohammed" available everywhere now!
