Baildsa was founded in 2007 by brothers Thanos and Yiannis Gountanos. Their first performance was in 2008. Band's name derives from Turkish word bayılmak, meaning "I am fed up !" as well as "to faint". In interviews bands' members share that they are tired of the political and social crisis in Greece, and that inspired the name "Baildsa".[3]
Baildsa's first album named United States of Balkans was issued in October 2011. The lyrics of the first album focus on the political situation in Greece and the rest of the Balkans; Baildsa view the Balkans as historically and culturally united, and the title United States of Balkans reflects this view. In talks with medias, Baildsa share their opinion that "borders exist only on maps". United States of Balkans can be downloaded for free from the band's website.[5][6]
In late 2013, Baidsa were recording their second studio album. Titled "Zvarna", the album is expected to be issued in September 2014.[3]
