London's heavy wild come to Schokoladen for their debut performance in Germany on April 28th to celebrate the release of new single 'Lonely Dawn'. The lo-fi/alt-rock projected fronted by Wolfgang Harte has carved out an exciting reputation for their dark and compelling live performances with headline shows last year in New York, Paris & London to support the release of their debut EP 'Death Dreams'.
 
Sonically, heavy wild's blend of fuzzy psych-rock, driving post-punk and lof-fi grunge has seen them join the likes of Ekkstacy, Current Joys and High School as a key name in the modern gothic/lo-fi scene of recent years. 

Dreampop und Shoegaze aus Berlin und Hamburg: Das Duo Garland verzaubert mit zwei Stimmen, feiner Gitarrenarbeit und geschmackvollen Synthesizer-Klängen. Schon der Name der Band - eine Referenz an das erste Album der Cocteau Twins - erinnert an die ätherischen Atmosphären der 90er zwischen Edelpop und New-Wave - ohne dabei die notwendige Härte vermissen zu lassen, ein Lärm, der sich etwa in einem Soundgefühl à la My Bloody Valentine ausdrückt.

A driving beat pushes Lolita Terrorist Sounds from a cool classic sound to a new strange world...” – T. Wydler (Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds)

“It reminds me of the best post-punk bands from the 70s...hotter than a frying pan,
sharper than a razor...” – Kristof Hahn (Swans, Pere Ubu)   

Formed in 2011, Telepathy is the creation of three Polish brothers: Piotr, Albert, and Krystian Turek, and English guitarist Richard Powley. Bringing a collision of musical influences from Tool, Deftones, and Vangelis to genres as diverse as synthwave and post-punk, it is the collective’s pervading love for film and movie scores that truly unites the band’s members under the Telepathy banner. Together, the four-piece quickly made a name for themselves through their instrumental balance of atypical tunings, found audio samples and joyride-like time signatures, conveying remarkably deep and dynamic narratives through their instruments alone.

Fargo is a german post-rock band from Leipzig, formed in 2012. They typically compose lengthy atmospheric instrumental pieces, featuring layers of effect-laden guitars and heavy usage of dynamics with traces of ambient.

“You new favorite Hardcore band! Sounds like Negative Approach and Minor Threat started a
new band in Neukölln!”

As GUM TAKES TOOTH, the duo of Thomas Fug and Jussi Brightmore plot an adventurous, idiosyncratic and willfully unpredictable trajectory. Continuously exploring and mutating with an ever more nuanced approach while maintaining a staunch commitment to non-conformity, the band formed in East London in 2009 with wild gigs across the East London underground music and art scene. Early material coalesced primitive DIY Silver Apples electronics, blast beat mayhem, and experimental noise with explosive avant-punk energy.

Now marrying an unflinching beat-driven assault to a questing and transformative vision, their fourth album RECOVERY POSITION (2023) represents a clean slate for Gum Takes Tooth at a time when this ever shifting and morphing entity sheds its skin once again, revealing a lean, formidable and precise new form.

Recalibrating their signature enmeshing of drums and electronics they landed on a propulsive all-electronic delivery that stubbornly eschews genre constraints while maintaining the duo’s clear affinity for  the rattle and rumble of bass bins under duress. Thus was birthed a unique amalgam of industrial grime aerobics, sci-fi mutant 808 protest music and hands-in-the-air rave bangers.

The album documents the tumultuous years of personal and worldwide upheaval since its predecessor. Yet the duo have alchemically transcended their circumstances, channelling the personal and political into salvation. True to form, what’s emerged is their most singular and potent work to date, simultaneously their most pop-adjacent and their most extreme.

Hailing from the slums of Los Kempos, Belgian three-piece ITCHES was awakened from cryogenic sleep paralysis in 2020, and has been on a bender ever since. The band’s sound is infused with cheap canned alcoholic beverages, resulting in a perfect blend of wild garage poppiness, 60s freakbeat, primal punk, and most of all, heavyweight jangle.

DIAMOND DOG's dystopian punk vibe began in 2020 and came to fruition with the full band in 2021.
The band flourishes in a hybrid identity on rhythmic, danceable tracks, propelled by synthetic textures where chorus and reverb reign supreme. The trio from Dijon, led by visceral lead vocals, expresses itself on stage through an incandescent atmosphere marked by the fury of the Cramps, the melodies of Liszt, and the aesthetics of Lynch.
Their debut album, Usual Chronicles, was released in March 2023 on the EMB Blanc and Wave Records labels. The band has already played more than 150 concerts across Europe and has just released their new 4-track EP, Throbs, in September 2025 on IcyCold Records.

„Zur Brache" is a postpunk-trio from Berlin. energetic drums, melodic bass & heavy riffs are essential to their sound"

From their spacecraft, SATELLITE JOCKEY explores the universe of pop. Pop in the broadest sense: psychedelia, 1970s film soundtracks, bouncy post-punk, 1960s baroque pop, funky variété— all of it captured and tastefully reshaped by the quintet. As radio standards and fleeting trends come and go, the musicians sing their timeless songs in French, joyfully and in four-part harmony. Preferring violin and flute to computers, the band’s organic groove proves that arranged, live-performed pop doesn’t belong to the past— it can make the future resonate too.

presale starts soon, stay tuned!

Muttis Lieblinge are back after a 20 years hiatus.
The core band of ML were always Mutti – guitar and swagger and Idefix – bass and singing.
Always been an fast and melodic punkrock band through all the 90´s ´til ca. 2002.

In these years the band was first called ‚Enough Is Enough‘, a short spell as ‚Total Recall‘ and almost ‚Screeching Fontbelt‘ before they changed the bands name to Muttis Lieblinge to underline the family values coming with the friendship of both head honchos of the band and their many drummers, who were on their stool for years or sometimes only for one show
These drumming guys were and are: Axl aka Hühnchen, Micky Schick (RIP), Bert aka Hermann von Hinten, Steve Hahn, Bugs……!
As the story goes, the infamous Terrorgruppe snatched up Idefix to become Ice-Tüte on their first three 7inches recorded, while in retour, Herman von Hinten became Bert Ballermann after his stint with TG, ca. end of the 90s. As a fun fact ML only recorded one original song ever, called Zu Spät, which was released on the TG tribute album Aggropop. More likely an anti tribute song, after all 3 of them had their time with TG at some point and sometimes for years in the 90s.
We still try to remember all the shows done many years before, so if you were a witness and are in the possession of proof, pictures or even film, don’t hesitate to get in touch via this page.
With their music Muttis Lieblinge are often recognised as a Punkrock Cover band from the Berlin district of Kreuzberg. The band does claim, that their songmaterial was so strong, that other bands took their songs to build their carriers or sometimes no carriers on these excellent material. Truth or fake, we will not tell, but catch one of the upcoming gigs and you can findout yourself what is the better story to believe

Muttis Lieblinge are back in rehearsal and will come out better than ever. And now with a magical five guys lineup they will not be stopped again to continue to give you joy and excitement to listen to some of your favorite tunes live and close to your eyes and ears….
as long as they will live and have fun !
