Founded in 2012, the four-piece rock band Koala Voice play an upbeat melange of disco punk and indie pop, shot through with strands of melancholia and psychedelia. Soon after emerging from their home town in the periphery, the band has won on a number of competitions for young Slovenian bands (Vizije 2014 and Špil liga 2014) and was chosen to be one of the participants in the Club marathon 2014 caravan. After having an uncharacteristically big number of gigs under their belt, the bend self-released their first album in 2015.

That same year they were invited to a number of clubs, festivals and important musical showcases across Europe and beyond. They have also played a crucial part in a theatre performance directed by Vlado G. Repnik.
