Bio
Iggy Mayerov are a six-piece indie-pop band from the Czech Republic, blending dreamy nostalgia, shimmering guitars, synth textures, and driving drum-machine beats with emotionally honest songwriting. Led by vocalist and guitarist Tereza Pilařová, alongside Michal Pilař (guitar), Jakub Pilař (bass), Martin Griner (keys, synths), Alžběta Kuklová (backing vocals), and Jiří Hájek (guitar), the band crafts atmospheric songs that explore memory, loss, and the fleeting nature of human experience while remaining irresistibly melodic.
Since breaking through with their debut single Ride in 2019, Iggy Mayerov have become a recognized name on the Czech and Slovak alternative scene, earning regular airplay on Radio 1, Radio Wave, Expres FM, Rádio Slovensko, and Rádio_FM. They have performed shows across the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, and the United States, including an appearance at New York's The New Colossus Festival. The band has also been selected as a support act for acclaimed international artists including Bôa, Prewn and Dream, Ivory.
Their debut album Millennial Cliché (2022) brought wider recognition, with its title track being selected by Expres FM among the best Czech pop songs of the year. They later collaborated with Anděl Award-winning producer and artist Lazer Viking on the Lovesick EP, whose standout single Givin' You Up surpassed 200,000 views on YouTube.
The singles Feels Like Yesterday (2025) and Going Backwards (2026) introduced a darker and more mature chapter of the band's songwriting while setting the direction for their forthcoming second album. Again produced by Jakub Kaifosz (Lazer Viking), the highly anticipated record is scheduled for release in autumn 2026.

“The five-piece band Iggy Mayerov is undoubtedly one of the biggest discoveries to come out of Startér, the "chart of the undiscovered." Their shoegaze anthem Stardust dominated the rankings for weeks, and in June, they nearly snatched a finalist spot from the trio Stereofox, Purplefox Town, and Good Times Only. Despite being around for only a year, Iggy Mayerov sound like they’ve already toured the galaxy together.”
“Behind the slightly mysterious name lies a dreampop band from Prague, known for their upbeat songs with striking melodies, all led by English vocals and the warm, captivating voice of Tereza Dusilová. We highly recommend their latest album, Millennial Cliché, which the band spotlighted with its title track and music video.”
“Prague-based Iggy Mayerov may be labeled a shoegaze band, but they wrap their sound in such a thick dreampop haze that you wouldn’t be able to see your own shoes at their show—even if you tried. Their single Glastonbury, from their upcoming debut album, is currently making waves on progressive radio stations. Judging by its polished production and the buzz from listeners, the band seems to be on track for a promising career.”
“Iggy Mayerov – Glastonbury / As massive as the layers of mud at the festival. Thick guitars.”
“Definitely give Millennial Cliché a listen—it’s worth your attention. The album has the potential to reach a wider audience and proves that local bands can deliver high-quality guitar pop.”
“Iggy Mayerov didn’t stop at melancholic, brooding dreaminess in the vein of Slowdive. Instead, they infused their introspective lyrics with a more pop-driven sound, giving their melodies a distinct character of their own. They've set out to explore where their love for playing and their deep musical synergy can take them. Right now, the Prague-based quartet leans closest to a dreampop sound that feels like it’s drifting in from the haze of a warm evening. But enough with the labels—Iggy Mayerov are so much more than just ethereal vocals floating over synths, reverb-drenched guitars, and keys. What truly sets them apart isn’t just their music and lyrics—though flawlessly crafted, deeply introspective, and shaped by Tereza’s songwriting—but the way they bring their atmosphere and message to life on stage.”
