Featured Artists : Athena
Athena is a
group of four guys: Gökhan, Ozan, Hakan, and
Turgay. They run towards the ska genre, and are quite
unique.
These guys are loud and fun. They also don't wear a lot of clothes,
but hey, I'm not complaining. Their lyrics also often
stress how different (or crazy) they are, but stress the fact
that there's nothing wrong with being different (or crazy). In
the music video to the song Çatal Yürek, the setting is that
of a mad scientist laboratory, and the four band members waddle
around with brown paper bags over their heads, each paper bag
with a picture of their faces pasted to the front. I don't know
if it's just me, but I find that very amusing. It's easy for me
to say that Athena has become one of my favorite bands. I like
how they don't necessarily take themselves seriously all the
time.
Gökhan (red hair) is the lead singer, Turgay the drummer,
Ozan the bass player, and Hakan the guitarist. Gökhan and Hakan
are twins! I love Athena's energy and outlook on
life, which focuses on embracing your own differences and living
in the present. The name of the band is also well-chosen: Athena
is the goddess of victory, which I feel suits the band's attitude.
