CISTERN is a rock band from Squamish, BC on the unceded land of the Squamish Nation. The restless souls that make up Cistern, a tight-knit gang of four, are comprised of Noah Varley, Noah Wilson, McKinley Languedoc, and Chris Boys. Cistern play rock music like the best bands formed at the periphery: raw, scrappy, intuitive – a group of friends forging awe and anguish into song. As Ursula Le Guin wrote in her Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction, “it’s a strange realism for a strange reality.”

The bands most recent release is New Standard. Languedoc stumbled upon a different tuning, jokingly rebranding it as “new standard tuning“, and somehow, the gag stuck. On “Crisis”, the band tries to make sense of the tangle of personalities. “Metal Detector” unravels as a hymn for those who have chosen to march to their own peculiar beat. “Pendulum” is high-wire, jittery and tense, a song about seeking balance in a world that won’t let you achieve it. The record is a 5 track display of DIY-rock anthem recorded on an 8 track tape machine.

Cistern is a band defined by tight musicianship, harmonious and dissonant instrumentation, do-it-yourself recording and experimentation. With the band already wading knee-deep into the musical chapter that will follow, expect more saturated, tape-warmth dance riffs to come.”

Combining the creative values of Wilco, Sonic Youth and Sparklehorse with the immediacy of The Velvet Underground and The Clash. Eades have adapted and evolved over the last couple of years - continually touring around the UK, as well as over the shores into Europe. Finely poised between indie rock and alternative 90’s. Their tight self-produced sound is glued together by the songwriting and vocal swapping partnership of Harry Jordan and Tom O’Reilly. The story-telling approach of their writing has crystallised into a winning calling-card.

This ‘build it and they will come’ approach has already seen enviable successes. Photoshoots with iconic photographer Rankin for HUNGER, shout outs from The Guardian, live sessions at Abbey Road Studios, and stand-out sets at Left Of The Dial and The Great Escape, amongst other tastemaker festivals, mark the band out as serious contenders.

No longer green to the industry - and working on their own terms - Eades are putting theory into practice. Comfortable in their own skin, and taking the wins as they come, there’s no lack of ambition to take their riveting concoctions to the masses. All of this is beholden to a quietly confident maturation that speaks to a band in complete control.

Anlässlich ihrer neuen 4-Track-EP geht sie auf Deutschlandtour mit über 10 Terminen – ihre längste Tour seit Beginn ihrer Reise mit französischen Chansons!

Eine Achterbahnfahrt der Gefühle erwartet euch bei den Konzerten von Billie Bird! Ihre Musik verbindet Humor mit tiefen Emotionen und geht mutig in die Themen Trauer und Zweifel. Mit einer kraftvollen Stimme und einem beeindruckendem Gitarrenspiel bringt sie Songs aus ihrer neuen EP auf die Bühne. Freut euch auf ein Konzert voller Höhen und Tiefen, Lachen und Tränen. Billie hat das Talent, selbst die tiefsten Themen mit Humor zu verbinden und dabei eine warme, verbindende Atmosphäre zu schaffen.

Formed in 2021 in the wake of the pandemic, Berlin-based four piece CARL FUNGUS first eased their way onto the city's vibrant music scene with their 2022 EP Schmungus, a laidback and dreamy selection of tracks which paired sharply put-together indie instrumentation with singer Jannis Necker’s vulnerable, plaintive vocals, to great effect. Like its namesake records, Wilco’s Schmilco and Harry Nilsson’s seminal Nilsson Schmilsson, this debut EP showcased confident songwriting that was at turns irreverent, melancholic and hopeful, offering well-observed snapshots of failing relationships, fading memories and transient city life. 

Coinciding with mushroom season, Carl Fungus plans to sprout again this Autumn with a quartet of singles preceding a full album release. Recorded and produced at Butterama Studio, this fresh batch of songs represents a significant maturation for the band, both sonically and lyrically, adding rich synth textures, tighter songcraft and a more ambitious approach to writing, building on the band’s already strong storytelling chops with more abstract imagery and extended metaphorical throughlines.

850km liegen zwischen Hamburg und Warschau, ein langer Weg, den das Duo PAULA & KAROL auch nach zwölf Jahren der Zusammenarbeit, darunter vier Alben, eine EP und viele Konzerte, gerne zurücklegt, um gemeinsam an seiner herzzerreißend luftig-leichten und sonnendurchfluteten Popmusik zu feilen. Um sich herum haben die beiden eine Bandfamilie versammelt, die ihre Musik zwischen den sehr unterschiedlichen Lebenswelten von Paula in Hamburg sowie als Professorin für die Soziologie der Digitalisierung in St. Gallen und Karol als DJ, Komponist, Produzent und Konzertagent in Warschau einspielt. Die fünf sind über die Jahre Freunde fürs Leben geworden: „Even if life gets a bit strange, we’ll always be playing music“ so das Motto der Band.

Erection,
that's juicy PPP punk from Regensburg. Or long:
Pussy-penis-power-punk! The troupe stands for their authentic art, the frivolous lyrics and pulsating songs that should joyfully erect or moisten lame every step within a second. But what kind of people is hidden behind the musical wonder dream? There is Borderlina Julitschka on vocals, baptized in alcohol by Lemmys Graces, the mysterious one on the drums. This unholy duet is flanked by Schtifn J. Firebird - the sex god of guitar - and the chaotic bass: Tino with the big dino.
ERECTION:
This is sex!
This is the future!
This is PUSSY PENIS POWER PUNK`N`ROLL!!!

Glooom bringen einen intensiven, noisigen Sound auf die Bühne! Die drei Musikerinnen arrangieren Gitarre, Drums und Bass zu einem Mix aus Grunge, Riot Grrl und Punk. Ihre Songs, gesungen auf Spanisch und Englisch, sind durchzogen von Wut, Umbehagen, Unruhe, Verlust, klaren Botschaften und einer bitter-sweeten Dosis Humor - denn selbst in einem Leben Sin Calma bleibt immer Zeit für einen Nap.

Pure Adult is an experimental rock band from Brooklyn, NY. Originally a solo project of multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Snyder, Pure Adult later expanded to be a collaboration between him and contemporary dancer and visual artist Bianca Abarca. They have toured internationally with Gilla Band, Mdou Moctar, Bambara and Thank, shared bills with A Place To Bury Strangers and Mclusky as well as headlining their own shows in both the US and UK.
In 2023, they released their first LP, II, on Fat Cat Records, two years after self-releasing their first EP, I.

“Pungent chaos that serves no pomp, instead it throws around dark innuendo like a rag doll to the cadence of fury and fucking. The best album I’ve heard in ages. The best band you haven’t seen. Go dig, it’s beautiful at its worst.” - Joe Talbot, IDLES

“Blown-out, hyperactive, aggressive, and danceable rock informed by punk and post-punk.” – Brooklyn Vegan

Cassels are a band of two brothers; Jim and Loz Beck. They make, in their own words, ‘music for misanthropes and malcontents’. This descriptor is as fitting as any, given the music itself is so hard to pin down.

At times pummeling and abrasive, at others delicate and tender – often within the same song – theirs is a sound which defies genre labels. It’s rare to find a band who sound only like themselves, especially one with just two instruments, but Cassels are just that.

The brothers began playing music together in their remote countryside bedroom long before their voices broke. Here, away from the infectious spirit of music scenes and trends, they stumbled upon the quirks and idiosyncrasies which would become Cassels.

Their bond (and band) was solidified in the UK underground. Successive albums and tours have taken them further afield. They’ve racked up shows with the likes of IDLES, Unsane, Show Me The Body, Brutus and Car Seat Headrest, as well as a string of festival appearances. They are now a formidable live force, with numerous sold out headline shows across the UK and Europe under their belts.
