Im November kommen die jungen Iren von SEARCH RESULTS zum ersten mal nach Berlin, und stellen ihr Debutalbum „Go Mutant“ vor. Mit Einflüssen von den Modern Lovers über 80er Punk und Psychedelic Rock bis zum 60ies Beat aus England, klingt jeder Song irgendwie anders, live sehr erfrischend und nonkonform. Seelenverwand mit den Parquet Courts, nur mit einem singenden Keith Moon an den Drums.

Der düstere New-Wave- und Post-Punk-Sound von Fritz Ali Hansen wirkt derzeit überraschend zeitgemäß – obwohl er tief in den Klängen der 80er verwurzelt ist. Vielleicht liegt es an der Weltlage, die in vielem an die angespannte Atmosphäre des Kalten Kriegs erinnert. Oder vielleicht ist es schlicht der ungebrochene Reiz dieser Sounds, die auch nach Jahrzehnten nichts von ihrer Intensität verloren haben und eine fast zeitlose Dringlichkeit ausstrahlen.

Mit seinem markanten Mix aus melodischen Basslinien, kühlen Drum-Computern und schneidenden E-Gitarren zitiert Hansen die Ikonen des Genres. Doch anders als viele seiner Zeitgenoss*innen gelingt es ihm, diesen Sound mit Präzision und Stilsicherheit in die Gegenwart zu überführen. Er übernimmt die düstere Gothic-Ästhetik von Bands wie The Sisters of Mercy und verwandelt sie in etwas, das zugleich vertraut und überraschend neu klingt. Wer sich nach der rohen Energie des Post-Punk und der düsteren Magie des New Wave sehnt, wird hier definitiv fündig...

THE SIRES (UK)

The Sires Are Dead. Long Live the Sires!

Formed in 1995 in London the Sires released their first EP “High and Mighty” in 1996, recorded at Toe Rag Studios. They toured their fuzzed-up conflation of freakbeat, R&B and garage rock around Europe and 1999 saw their debut album Rulers of Your Heart, recorded on four-track in a Shoreditch front room and mastered at Abbey Road Studios.

In 2024 The Sires  got the band back together for an appearance at Hastings’ Beatwave Festival (20 years after their breakup). An ultra-rare 7” hand-cut by Russ Wilkins to mark the occasion sold out overnight. Turns out the crowd wanted more, so the old-new line-up are giving it another go: Domi Malacarne (The Dirty Burds, Tood) on vocals, harmonica and percussion, Andy Sire (The Bristols, Thursday’s Rhythm and Beat Organization) on vocals and guitar, Wayne Northern (Los Easylays, The Hurting Kind) on bass and Bongo Debbie (Thee Headcoatees, Ye Nuns) on drums.

The Sires stage a frenzied show full of soul-tinged Nuggets-inspired neo-60s freakbeat at its fuzziest.

Die aus Glasgow stammende sechsköpfige Psych-Band der katalanisch-ägyptischen Musikerin Mariam El Sadr (Maz) hat die schottische Musikszene im Sturm erobert.

Ihre interkulturellen und energiegeladenen Liveshows, die sich zwischen Surfgitarren, Krautrock-Noise, queerer Tanzmusik und lateinamerikanischen Einflüssen bewegen, haben das Publikum in ihren Bann gezogen und der Band eine vielversprechende Zukunft beschert. MATP ist eine Kraft, mit der man rechnen muss.

Die Band betrat im Februar 2022 die schottische Live-Szene, unterstützte Tourbands, trat unermüdlich in Clubs auf und organisierte selbst Partys („Phantasmagasm“). Mit nur drei Single-Veröffentlichungen hatte die Band bereits ausverkaufte Headliner-Shows in Musikhauptstädten im gesamten Vereinigten Königreich.

Psych, inspiriert von französischem Indie-Pop, Krautrock-Noise, einer gesunden Portion Vintage–Americana und einer explosiven Punk-Attitüde.

In under two years, SKORTS went from conception to one of the most talked about and in demand local bands in New York. Their sound has been described as many things including psych-glam, post-alt and darkwave disco. Their live shows have become a crown jewel of the NYC & Brooklyn music scene, winning them 'Our Wicked Lady's 2024 Winter Madness' and also earning them the number one spot on the 'Ohmyrockness Hardest Working Bands List of 2024'. They have received coverage from Paste, PAPER magazine and many more! The band has played just about every club in Manhattan and Brooklyn, some of which include Webster Hall, Brooklyn Bowl, a sold out Bowery Ballroom and a sold out Racket (Chelsea). With a jaw dropping live show and undeniable song writing, SKORTS continues to grab the attention of music fans from all genres and generations.

FLASYD is a punk band from New York known for their raw energy and tackling sharp social issues. Their music is fast, aggressive, and intense. Their debut LP, Always Fast, Hardly Accurate (2024), produced by Johnny T. Yerington and engineered by Grammy-winner Gus Oberg, is a 27-minute blast of riotous energy. Known for their raw and authentic live shows, FLASYD takes aim at toxic masculinity and industry norms, turning sexuality into a weapon and rebellion into anthems.

Unicorn Partisans aus Leipzig und Murmansk liefern ein elektrisierendes Live Set irgendwo zwischen ElektroPunk, DarkWave und TechnoCrust.

Harte Beats, verspielte Melodien, verzerrte gitarreske Riffs sprudeln aus verschiedenen Kistchen und Knöpfen mit dem Spirit von Punk.

Mehrsprachige Vocals die immer wieder erfrischend und unerwartet den Stil wechseln: growlen, sprechen, screamen… mit einer ordentlichen Portion poetischem Humor, Ironie und (Selbst-) Kritik.
Die Texte erzählen von Verlust und Umbruch, von Identitäten, von Wut und Hoffnung – verwoben in Beats, die dröhnen wie Erinnerung und klingen wie Aufbruch. 

Ihre Musik tanzt auf den Bruchstellen der Gesellschaft – unbequem und berührend – ein Echo gelebter Erfahrung, dass Grenzen hinterfragt, statt sie zu markieren.

Ein Sound, der nicht gefällig sein will, sondern ehrlich. 
Ein Raum zum Atmen und Ausbrechen.
Für alle, die mehr fühlen als nur den Beat. 
Für alle, die zwischen den Zeilen leben und tanzen wollen.
Trotz allem.

Punkig, trotzig und wunderschön.
DANCE, FIGHT AND GLITTERIZE!

Früher war alles besser. Alles außer CHRISTMAS, die von Jahr zu Jahr unaufhaltsamer wurden. Wenn andere Bands auftauchen und schnell wieder verbrennen, haben sich CHRISTMAS dazu entschlossen, einfach alle Arschlöcher zu überleben.

Mit Erfolg: 20 Veröffentlichungen in 14 Jahren. 550 Shows in 18Ländern und 21 verschlissene Ex-Bandmitglieder. Der Hardcore-Zug rollt, gepanzert mit Tonnen von Kronkorken, angetrieben von alles verbrennendem Wahnsinnsidealismus (mit der Betonung auf Wahnsinn).

Immer dämonisch dem scheintoten Geist des Rock-n-Roll ins Gesicht grinsend, kurz am Abgrund der Nachpunkgeschichte vorbei und CHRISTMAS sehen dabei noch verdammt gut aus!

Like Beef is a Berlin-based trio drawing inspiration from acts like Slint, La Dispute, Alex G, and Black Country, New Road. Rooted in punk's off-shoots, they weave organic patterns that are both trancey and dancey. Over intertwining and diagonal lines, the narrator lifts everyday happenings into gothic realms.

The queer vegan shitpunks, Joe & The Shitboys, formed with the intention of calling out shitty behaviour in the conservative Faroe Islands, where the rock scene is filled with boneless homophobes and meat-eating misogynists - and continue to take their aim at general vibe killers everywhere.  

The live shows are full of energy, with a barrage of songs often under a minute long, like “Save The Planet You Dumb Shit”, "Life Is Great You Suck" and “If You Believe in Eating Meat Start With Your Dog”, being broken up by the flamboyant frontman roasting the audience relentlessly.  The band (Joe, Ziggy Shit, Johnny Shit and Ollie Shit) have played every type of venue there is; roof tops, public toilets, opening ceremonies for North Atlantic sub sea tunnels, museums and skateparks, and have also appeared on their fair share of major festival line ups around Europe and North America.
