HACHIKU is the brainchild of German-Australian producer Anika Ostendorf, who writes and produces worldly indie rock with an alt-pop appeal alongside band members Jessie Warren (she/her; bass, BVs), Georgia Smith (they/she; guitar, BVs) and Simon Reynolds (he/him - drums). Through the release of their self-recorded and self-mixed EP Hachiku (2017) and critically acclaimed debut LP I’ll Probably Be Asleep (2020), Hachiku has steadily built a loyal global fan base hinged on catchy melodies, shimmering walls of sound, and their praised live performances. They have seen consistent support and acclaim from NPR’s All Songs Considered, Bandcamp, DIY Magazine, Clash Magazine and NME among others, and are continuously invited to support household names around the UK, Europe, U.S. and so-called-Australia including Courtney Barnett, Jen Cloher, The Breeders, José González, Snail Mail and more, including festival slots at Iceland Airwaves, SXSW and Melbourne Music Week. Ostendorf is also a frequent collaborator of Jen Cloher’s, co-producing their ARIA, AMP, AIR and Music Victoria-nominated fifth album I Am The River, The River Is Me (2023), and has landed syncs in the US including on Netflix’s Never Have I Ever, HBO Max’s The Sex Lives of College Girls and Audi’s mysterious 13-minute ‘Led Balloon’ film commercial.

Panikattacken im Waschsalon, das aufgesetzte Lächeln einer Stewardess, queere Dates - die Inspiration für ihre Songs schöpft Juno Lee vorwiegend aus alltäglichen Beobachtungen und Erlebnissen. Verpackt in gitarrenlastigen Indie-Rock lädt sie uns in ihre Gefühlswelt ein.

Juno Lee ist gebürtige Berlinerin. 2019 fing sie an, auf der Straße und U-Bahnhöfen zu spielen - zwischen Taubenscheiße und motzendem Sicherheitspersonal. Ohne bisherige Veröffentlichungen, Label oder Bookingagentur folgten internationale Auftritte auf dem Sziget, c/o Pop, Jenseits von Millionen, Rocken am Brocken und Pop Kultur Festival.

Mit ihrer jüngst erschienen Debut EP „Laundry Days“ (VÖ 08.11.2024 via RAUFASER TONTRAEGER) wurde Juno Lee als Newcomerin der Woche bei DLF Kultur gefeiert und schaffte es auf Playlists von DIFFUS und dem Picky Magazin. „Radio mit K“ spielte ihre Debut Single „I´m Fine, Thank You“ und byte.fm lud sie zum Interview ein. An der Lichtung, an der Riot Grrrls und Barbies einen Handschlag tauschen, dröhnt Juno Lee aus dem Soundsystem.

BRAD MARINO first came to my attention as a member of The Connection along with fellow popster Geoff Palmer. A four piece outfit that tastefully blended past sounds such as The Ramones and Rockpile, their first couple of records were a refreshing change from the norm. Then, along came The New Tracaderos. In this iteration, the talents of Kurt Baker were introduced to the mix. Marino taps both of these very talented guys on his new, solo effort entitled Grin & Bear It. The results are quite enjoyable.
Adrenaline soaked power pop! Grin and Bear it.

In a sea of trash, GOLDEN SHITTERS stand alone. This three piece scuzz punk unit crawled out of the sewers of Hamilton, Ontario and features Matt Ellis (Anxious Pleasers and The Vapids), Dave Tyson (Sam Coffey and the Iron Lungs) and Kyle Fisher (the Dirty Nil). It’s punk rock with bad taste and a B-movie bathroom budget. The world's going down the drain! Get flushed with Golden Shitters!

Currently preparing for the release of their fourth album set for release in 2025, RATS ON RAFTS’ new single ‘Hibernation’ is a rain-soaked lament to nature’s battered mortality, a monochrome snapshot of the landscape played out in beautiful cold wave delay.  

Finding joy in self-isolation, “I noticed that I could feel really comfortable with songs that can feel really heavy and isolated,” says frontman David Fagan “ If you listen to a Joy Division record for example, for a lot of people they’re really downcast. But for some people it’s like stepping into a really warm bath, because you can really identify with that music. I think that’s also what’s going on with ‘Hibernation’. I could identify with the coldness of the atmosphere, and that languid feeling of that song.”  

Following 2021’s exceptional ‘Excerpts From Chapter 3’ with its plagues, dreams, modal guitars, and mesmerising mantras, new single ‘Hibernation’ descends further into a brooding wasteland.

“I think this song really is a good example of what our new record sounds like. Slowing everything down as much as possible gives it a lot of space. The sound of the Soundcraft 1S mixing desk we used to record the album, close to the version Lee Perry used to mix his famous black ark records, works really well for the dub side of the song but also the doom side. This song and the record in general are not romanticizing this “darkness” as much as accepting it’s part of our persona/character.”

BIG FUN (US)

Hatching out of the underground DIY punk scene in Los Angeles, California, Big Fun has assembled a noisy, hard-hitting, electronic sound that zig-zags through techno, hardcore, and dance punk. They are known for their mind-bending and powerful live performances as well as their groundbreaking, atmospheric recordings. Formed in 2017, their set up includes Austin Ford on synthesizers and vocals, Nick Tripi on drums, and Cody Barbato on bass.

Tommy and the Teleboys (DE)

In the shadow of the prefabricated buildings in the central German province between Halle and Berlin, the quartet plays loud and sweaty psychedelic fuzz rock. Guitars, driving synths, sometimes garnished with a sweet West Coast melody, sometimes with the noise crowbar. A band that brings styles together, emulates role models and yet has its own sound and sounds different. Here, garage rock is mixed with psychedelia, and post-punk, krautrock and electronica are tried out. Danceable, groovy, wild and full of melodies. Then relaxed and floating again. Despite rigid genre boundaries, everything is allowed and a wild mix comes together.

Beyond far away stars and distant galaxies, out where no human has ever gone before;
the crew of the IXZHILION 1 is preparing for the ascent into an unknown world.

"Bulbul wurde 1996 gegrundet und ist die wohl unkonventionellste, trippigste und schrägste Rockformation
Österreichs. Die Band ist bekannt dafur, Rockmusik mit einer besonderen Leidenschaft fur dustere Ecken
und Kanten zu spielen. Musikalisch kaum in ein Genre zu pressen, sind die Mitglieder der Band - Manfred
Engelmayr, Roland Rathmair und Dieter Kern - stets ihren eigenen Weg mit stilubergreifenden
Musikelementen gegangen.
Bulbul haben ihren ganz eigenen, unverwechselbaren Stil kreiert und stehen fur sich allein als rauschhaftes
Zeugnis von Individualität und der rohen Kraft von Rock und Noise. Wer das Trio schon einmal live erlebt
hat, weiß, dass die Konzerte ein elektrisierendes und unvergessliches Erlebnis sind, bei dem die Ohren von
einem rasenden Soundgewitter umspielt werden. Die Musik ist ansteckend, frech, wild, laut, bizarr und doch
akribisch strukturiert im geordneten Chaos."
