History

Slza emerged in 2014 with the song "Lhůta záruční", whose lyrics were written by Ondřej Ládek, also known as Xindl X.[3] Their debut album, Katarze, came out in 2015 and included the aforementioned single as well as its follow-up, "Celibát".[4] The title track was also issued as a single and went on to be used as the theme song to the television series Přístav, in which Lexa had an acting role.[5] A fourth single, "Fáze pád", was issued,[6] and a final one, "Pouta". The group received three nominations at that year's Anděl Awards[7] as well as being named Discovery of the Year and Internet Star at the Český slavík awards.[8] [9]

In 2017, Slza released their second album, Holomráz,[10] followed by 3 in 2020.[11] In 2023, they issued their fourth record, Monodrama.
