Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina hardcore outfit URBAN INSTINKT have signed with Time To Kill Records for the release of their third album, marking another step forward for a band that has built a strong reputation in its homeland and is now increasingly looking beyond its borders. Active since 2010, the quartet have developed a direct and energetic take on hardcore, drawing from the genre’s classic vocabulary while allowing plenty of room for personal interpretation. Their music carries echoes of Cro-Mags, Biohazard and Sick Of It All, although these influences are absorbed rather than reproduced, with occasional old-school metal touches adding further weight and colour.

Several songs move through multiple changes of pace and register, revealing a broader musical perspective beneath the immediate impact of the riffs. Groove, melody and sharper metallic accents can all find their place without diluting the band’s hardcore foundation. Equally central is an outspoken lyrical approach, with URBAN INSTINKT addressing social and political issues head-on and refusing to stay on the sidelines.

Over the years, the band have shared stages with Pro-Pain, Agnostic Front, Born From Pain, Comeback Kid and Ignite, and even reached the finals of the Wacken Metal Battle among five former Yugoslav bands.

With Time To Kill Records now behind them, URBAN INSTINKT are ready to take their next step onto a wider European stage.
