The Agony

Out of the streets of Prague, Czech Republic, came The Agony, an all-female heavy rock foursome formed in 2013. The current line-up consists of the founder, rhythm guitarist and frontwoman, Nikola Kandoussi, drummer Martina Kajda Balcarová, bassist Domi Mrázková and lead guitarist Petra Pohanková.

The band progressed from its edgy punkrock-like EP &#39;Loud And Furious&#39; via the solid heavy rock debut <a href="spotify:album:3St7QeZV6Y93eNOplw8uKW" data-name="Dirty and Dangerous">Dirty and Dangerous</a>, all the way through the more mature, deeper and well worked-out second album <a href="spotify:album:6afV3A2B54JDkhF4zM4XbN" data-name="689">689</a> and vibrant EP <a href="spotify:album:6kaGoc6AykdPoCLQF2RwWT" data-name="Eclectic">Eclectic</a>, to their 10th anniversary-celebrating, anthemically powerful modern rock effort, Rising.

Apart from countless headline shows and festival slots, the band&#39;s biggest success to date came in May 2022 with The Agony being chosen to support the legendary rockers <a href="spotify:artist:27T030eWyCQRmDyuvr1kxY" data-name="Scorpions">Scorpions</a> on their Rock Believer World Tour stop in Prague&#39;s largest indoor venue, O2 arena, playing in front of 16 000 crowd in their hometown.

The Agony remain to be one of the very few all-female bands in their native country, they also make frequent concert visits to Europe and UK.
