Bagdad has been played on NTS shows including Tuesday Trips w/ Nahhg, with Let Me Live first played on 25 February 2025.

Bagdad is an alt-rock group from Wrocław, Poland, formed in the fall of 2023. What began as a collaboration between school friends Franciszek Drobiński (guitar, vocals) and Wojciech Stach (bass) quickly evolved into a dynamic partnership when drummer Jakub Gadamski joined the fold. The group’s sound blends the raw energy of early 90s grunge with the introspective weight of slowcore, all filtered through the unique lens of Eastern European melancholia. In the summer of 2024, Bagdad began work on their debut EP, They Don’t Know, a collection that captures their blend of atmospheric tension and explosive catharsis. With an ear for mood and a taste for familiar melodies, the band crafts songs that balance quiet, introspective moments with explosive bursts of sonic guitar intensity.
