Premise

The series is about 3 teenagers who make up a hard rocking punk band from a made-up country Bröxstônia. Singer Arj, drummer Barj and guitarist Larj are always on tour, enjoying fast but mad adventures, living the dream away from home as they deal with monstrous fans, cyborg robots, video game monsters and wild west villains. There’s also their rivals, the Lukes of (neighbouring country) Flökstônia who are always out to thwart the Dukes. It’s not just the music, it’s a historical conflict between their two countries which goes back thousands of years!
