Meet JAROSLAV3000, formed in 2022 and hailing from the French capital, the young duo are here with a mission; to break free of the realities of mundane life with excitingly bold productions and hypnotic hooks. Fuelled by their love for the grittiness of 2000s rock, Tim and Tom channel the spirit of The Strokes and Arctic Monkeys, blending a youthful attitude with infectious melodies, embracing the true sensibilities of the indie giants who shaped the scene. Of course, there’s no imitations here - they spin a unique cocktail of nostalgia and modern soundscapes, with a heady dose of edgy electricity! Blessed Side, our first introduction to the duo is a glittery electro banger with moody undertones, sharp guitars, and pulsating synths. Citing The Voidz as an influence - a nod not often heard but was extremely impressed by - the duo crafts a track that’s anthemic, captivating, and undeniably built for the dance floor. It’s the kind of song that demands to be heard live, and I for one cannot wait for that moment.
With the release of their debut EP ‘Insiders’, the Parisian duo deliver a five-track collection drenched in post-punk influences from The Cure and Black Marble. While their sound And while their sound might evoke sounds from times gone by, it remains undeniably fresh and forward thinking. With a rebellious spirit and a knack for crafting utterly addictive hooks, Jaroslav3000 are here to shake things up.
So let’s get to know them a bit more:
TELL US A BIT ABOUT YOURSELF
Hello Tate and everyone reading this. We are Parisian duo JAROSLAV3000 formed in 2022. It has been many years since we started playing music together and here is our final version! We released our first EP “Insiders” last year and started touring in France - 2025 will definitely be our year!
HOW DID YOU GET INTO MUSIC?
Of all the things we've tried in our lives, this is the only one we haven't given up on despite the continuous lack of external reaction.
GIVE US THREE WORDS TO DESCRIBE YOUR SOUND
Rushed / Dancing / Melodious
CAN YOU TELL US A BIT ABOUT THE CREATIVE PROCESS BEHIND YOUR MUSIC?
Confined in a 10m2 room with a crappy sound card but a lot of good will.
Our music is the product of our environment: laborious, cramped, but full of vitality
YOUR RECENT SINGLE, BLESSED SIDE, WHAT’S IT ABOUT?
It’s a fever dream where the best and the worst compete. This is a song you listen too loudly in the backseat to drown out your dad's moral lessons because you still don't have your license at 27 years old.
WHAT’S NEXT?
After a first EP thought of as a “business card”, we are currently working on a new opus more focused on the expansion of our universe : more personal, more ambiguous, more whole. Our new single “Heat” should be released in early spring!
LASTLY, WHO ARE YOU LISTENING TO AT THE MOMENT?
Timothée : Chappell Roan, The Jam
Tom : The Voidz, Black Marble
