Asked about their next releases, Georgi unveils that “the upcoming GD songs are different than Roll The Dice. I really want to experiment and record ideas that are quite different then Expectations.”

The Hives – Veni Vidi Vicious

This is probably the main influence around creating the song Roll The Dice. I wanted it to be short, straight on point and very catchy. At the same time for it to be radio-friendly, but keep the raw punk spirit in it mixed with a rock & roll vibe.

Viagra Boys – Welfare Jazz

What can I say, again Sweden. In my opinion, this is probably the most real new Rock & Roll band out there right now.

Arctic Monkeys- Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not

This is their debut, and in my opinion their best album. Speechless. Masterpiece.

The Fratellis – Costello Music

I remember the first time I went to work on a student’s brigade in the US. It was 2010 and the first thing I did after I got my first paycheck was to go to the closest record store and buy music. After I bought the recently released album by Parkway Drive – Deep Blue I found The Fratellis album Costello Music. I managed to listen to the new PD maybe 2 weeks after I bought it as I was really hyped and impressed by the Fratellis album. Two completely different styles of music but for sure The Fratellis dominated my heart and ears haha :)

Misfits – Static Age

Personally, I think this is the best punk rock album of all time. Way ahead of its time. A true diamond in Punk history. The first time I heard it was when I was 16 and then it kind of opened my eyes to Danzig’s other projects. Samhain and of course Danzig. Still a big fan of his music.
