Hrdza

Hrzda is a Slovak folk rock band from Prešov, formed in 1999.
The band mostly performs in their native Slovakia, but they have played in numerous other nations including Austria, Czechia, Germany, Hungary, Poland, and Slovenia.
== History ==
Hrdza was formed in 1999 inside the city of Prešov by Slavomír Gibarti and Jaroslava Sisáková. After its formation, Tóno Potočňák, Lukáš Maťufka and Róbert "Skippy" Hatal later joined. In 2002, they came out with their self-published debut album: Muzička. In the autumn of 2002, founding member Sisáková left the band and was replaced by Veronika Rabadová (who herself left in 2015). During this period, they won more than 20 awards at home, as well as in Czechia. Pod Božími Oknami was their second album, releasing in 2006, was critically acclaimed and celebrated by the public as a great collection. In the summer of that year, their single, Na Horách Býva was on the top 50 music charts in Slovakia for 17 weeks, reaching a peak position of 17. Hajnajnanyja was the third album of theirs, making its debut in the November of 2009. As mentioned earlier, Veronika Rabadová left in 2015 and Susanna Jara took over in her spot. 
== Eurovision 2010 ==
In 2010, Hrdza participated in the Slovak National Round of Eurosong in the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 with the song "Taká sa mi páči". The group won 19.5% of the vote, but was disqualified from the contest when it was realized that Hrdza had presented the song before 1 October, 2009, which was in violation of the rules.
