Pomelo Chess Society

Pomelo Chess Society is an instrumental rock trio from Rijeka that represents a new musical direction – Chess Math Rock.

After years of playing in various bands from Rijeka, three enthusiasts of chess, exotic fruit, and rock ‘n’ roll joined forces and embarked on new uncharted paths.

At the end of 2021, they released a self-titled album “Pomelo Chess Society,” which was followed by several energetic and memorable concerts that left few indifferent.

With Leo Marohnić on the guitar, Vedran Medanić on the bass, and Ivan Poloni on the drums, the music they create is simultaneously calculated, progressive, and extremely dynamic, making an intriguing departure from traditional math-rock.

In early 2023, they released their second studio album “En Passant”, with which they further expanded a colorful spectrum of musical solutions and enriched their live performances with new nuances.
