SINOPTIK
Sinoptik are three generations of rockn'roll in one shot. Unpredictable fusion-absorption of psychedelic rock, old-school rock and digital stoner. They blend power and beauty, roaring of overloaded guitars and cosmic sounds of the keys. They frequently tour Europe in solo concerts and festivals.
Sinoptik are the latest World Champions of the Global Battle of the Bands. Shortly after winning, they were invited to play at the UA Olympic Stadium as guest artist in a major concert.
