Czech rock band Škwor maintains traditional recording methods for new album

The Czech rock group Škwor is releasing its twelfth studio album, titled ‘NA HRANĚ’, on October 15, 2026. Despite the rapid evolution of the music industry through digital technology and artificial intelligence, the band has opted for a traditional production approach.

Working over a two-year period, the quartet, led by singer Petr Hrdlička, utilized real instruments and tube amplifiers. To maintain creative freedom and avoid external dictates, the band handled the production internally, with guitarist Jan Chudan serving as producer. This method allows the group to control their sound and work at their own pace, prioritizing artistic autonomy over modern digital shortcuts.
