BAiLDSA is a balkan punk n’ roll band from Thessaloniki, Greece.

Since forming in 2008, BAiLDSA gradually developed their distinctive and individual sound by merging the balkan-gypsy genre with elements from ska, punk, reggae, rap, electro and even indie, psychedelic rock and stoner. In 2011, the band recorded and self-released its debut album “United States of Balkans”. It received very impressive reviews and helped build an international fanbase. However, live on-stage performances are the band at its best. So far, BAiLDSA’s dynamic and explosive shows have earned them numerous concerts all over Europe, several festival appearances, and opening acts for the likes of Kultur Shock, New Model Army and Manu Chao.

Ever since the beginning of their career, BAiLDSA actively join the forces of social change and stand against racism and fascism through their songs and general attitude. The band itself is the carrier of a hopeful message of unity and solidarity, which they spread like wildfire in every place they visit and play.
