07/08/2026 |

Clocking in at a gritty and deeply authentic 4'24'', Backsprint’s “I Hung My Head” is a masterful slice of blues, Southern, and classic rock that brilliantly defies geographical expectations by bringing deep American country roots straight out of Belgrade, Serbia. Born from frontman Uroš Joji?’s formative years absorbing the sounds of Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash before experiencing the music firsthand in Saginaw, Michigan, the track perfectly captures a unique collision of Balkan grit and authentic Americana. Backed by a tight, road-tested lineup featuring Ognjen Ninkovi? on guitar, Nemanja Cvijovi? on bass, Stanislav Stojkanovi? on drums, and Ka?a Vidovi? on backing vocals, the band eschews polished Nashville session tropes in favor of raw, lived-in emotion. Recorded locally with producer Oliver Jovanovi?, “I Hung My Head” proves that true roots music transcends borders, delivering a deeply resonant, red-dirt infused anthem from a band that has seamlessly fused their two worlds into one undeniable, powerhouse sound.
