THRAX PUNKS is a music group from the region of Thrace in Greece. Based on traditional music, Thrax Punks experiment and integrate various musical elements of modern aesthetics and styles into their sound.

Traditional songs have so much authenticity in their melodies and lyrics that they effortlessly remain indelible over time. Each generation adapts its own take on them and passes them on to the next. So do the Thrax Punks with their main instruments gaida (bagpipes), davul (drums) and an electric guitar. Through their sounds you can travel back in time, stories and feelings that are so timeless that past, present and future seem to be one.
