For those who enjoy saying “they remind me of…,” the band readily admits their influences range from Sonic Youth, Fontaines D.C., and New York free jazz, to Greek underground legends like Trypes and Pavlos Sidiropoulos.
The indie trio, all 20 years old, consists of Nikos Kamakas (guitar, vocals), Alex Iliadis (bass), and Giorgos Yavassidis (drums), and hails from Thessaloniki. Their debut album , Freedom Tastes Like Breakfast, was released, accompanied by a music video for “On A Sunday”, following the launch of their first single “Statira” ,also accompanied by a music video, in May 2025, both directed by Aris Kapelanos. The music production of this album has been handled by Joseph Powell of Youth Valley.
Viceroy recently appeared as a guest headliner at the Schoolwave Festival in Technopolis, Athens (July 2025).
