DÉMODÉ

Démodé is a young Croatian retro‑pop band formed by long‑time friends who grew up together and share a love of music. The lineup includes Jakov Horvatić (vocals), Ruben Horvat (keyboards, trombone, programming), David Mesarić (guitar), Kaleb Smrtić (bass) and Jošua Smrtić (drums).

They describe themselves as a collective and their name reflects an interest in “retro” sounds and old‑school elements, which they blend with modern pop ideas. Demode’s early singles like “Bezbroj boja” and “Od svega jača” received positive feedback, and the band is noted for being fun, fresh and stylish on the Croatian music scene.

Their music draws on a range of influences and old‑school recording approaches, and they work regularly on new ideas in both rehearsals and studio sessions, aiming to bring varied pop styles into their sound.
