»Minor Citizen is a three-piece rock band from Amsterdam with a big mouth. With a raw mix of hard rock and grungepop, the band is comparable to great acts like Triggerfinger, Queens of the Stone Age, and IDLES.

With an EP produced by Mario Goossens from Triggerfinger, they traveled around the
Netherlands during Popronde. They attracted a lot of attention as one of the most booked acts, with an energetic live show that managed to whip up every single audience.

New music is set to be released in the fall of 2025. Sweat, headbanging, and a voice reminiscent of Chris Cornell. We'll see you in the moshpit.«

TOUGH MOTHER: The international trio, based in Berlin, gives auditory versions of unapologetic period stains left as proud branding of love lorn lust vehicles. Playing smashing power grunge into sun burned eyes as an anthem to their own delirium, Tough Mother is expressing disappointment in the world and everyone on it.

HUMANS AS ORNAMENTS have always felt at home in a space of musical experimentation. Their songs contain a variety of influences - always delivered with a raw emotional intensity. Drawing from various genres between Post-Punk, Art-Rock, R&B and HipHop, the childhood friends Dave and Dennis continuously try to find connections within opposites. As a result, their sound is distinctly individual and uncompromising.

Berlin-based singer and electronic artist ZYLVA channels themes of hope and recovery on her EP "Antiroom." After the feat of strength that was the release of her debut album "Poems from the Dark" in 2023, Zylva longed for musical and personal companionship, something she found again in Ludwig Wandinger, a fellow Berlin resident who co-produced the EP. In keeping with the heterogeneous approach of her debut, with genres ranging from Avant Pop to Indie and Ambient over the course of 5 tracks, "Antiroom" reflects the breadth of Zylva’s musical spectrum. The title’s double meaning ("Antiroom/Anteroom") refers to spaces where one’s presence (e.g., as a female producer) is not intended, as well as the EP being a precursor to future musings and a harbinger of recovery.

Punkfilmfest Berlin Booking
GOB (Punkrock/ CAN) + Pommes oder Pizza (Punkrock/ Berlin)
Tickets

Gob is a legendary Canadian punk band from Vancouver, British Columbia, known for their
infectious, hook-laden sound and relentless DIY ethic. As they approach their 30th anniversary, Gob’s
influence on the punk scene remains undeniable. The band first gained prominence in 1995 with their hit
“Soda” from the album Too Late… No Friends, which became a youth anthem in Canada, thanks in part to its
iconic music video which received heavy rotation on Canada’s Muchmusic.
Over the years, Gob has released six full-length albums, sold over 300,000 physical copies, and earned
Juno nominations and Gold record certifications. Their singles “I Hear You Calling” and “Give Up the Grudge”
further solidified their place in punk rock history. Known for their energetic live shows, Gob has performed
worldwide, including major festivals like Warped Tour, Edgefest, and Amnesia Rockfest. They are one of the
rare punk bands to have had the honor of gracing the stage at Budokan in Japan.

Tickets

A staple of the Toronto scene for over a decade, The Anti-Queens are an ultra-hard-working, punked-up rock 'n' roll quartet. They've become infamous in their hometown of Toronto for their insanely high-energy, take-no-prisoners live performances.

The Anti-Queens released their second LP, DISENCHANTED, in May 2024 – produced by Dave ‘Brownsound’ Baksh and Steve Rizun. The band has previously self-released two stellar EPs (Grow Up/Stay Young and Start Running) and their killer full-length debut on Stomp Records in the fall of 2019.

After a year of downtime and writing, MICHAEL BEACH emerged in late 2024 with 'The Sea,' the first release from his upcoming LP on Goner/Poison City Records, and first of his recent collaborations mixing pulsing minimalism with post-punk/DIY approaches with Mick Turner (Dirty Three) and Joe Talia (Oren Ambarchi, Ned Collette). A new 7" via Minneapolis label 25 Diamonds coincided with his recent US tour with Tropical Fuck Storm.

Known for his previous collaborations with members of Dirty Three, Tropical Fuck Storm, Comets On Fire, and brilliantly eccentric guitarist Charlie Megira, Beach is the architect of a sound that is both well-built and ramshackle, straightforward and indeterminably complex, out of the norm yet familiar in all the best ways.

Beach’s 2022 EP (Goner) saw him mix blown out rock and roll with his unique style of balladry, including collaborations with Lloyd Swanton on legendary Australian minimalists The Necks. His 2021 fourth full-length, Dream Violence (Goner) is an epic album that explores the duality of the human condition. Or, as Beach himself puts it, the album is about “human futility, passion, desire, anger, frustration, and the struggle to maintain hope in a somewhat hopeless time.”

Dream Violence unfolds like a revelation, filled with sonic tumbleweeds that reference Neil Young’s On the Beach, Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska, the Velvet Underground’s Loaded, and the Go Betweens’ Before Hollywood. Influences ranging from the enigmatic outlier Megira to Glenn Branca to the Oblivians are combined to create a new, exhilarating sound, part of the path that Beach has been on since 2008’s Blood Courses. A veteran of year-end indie rock round ups beginning with Golden Theft in 2013 and continuing with Gravity/Repulsion, released in 2017, Beach distills the best of those early albums and adds sharpened intent.

At the Memphis-based Goner label, Beach joins an increasingly unique roster of international musicians that reaches far beyond garage or indie rock to encompass artists like gospel singer Rev. John Wilkins, Kentucky rockers Archaeas, New Orleans iconoclasts Quintron and Miss Pussycat, and no-wavers Optic Sink.

4 Stars – ‘existential dread exorcised through heady guitar rockers’ – NME

‘Beach is a great Melbourne guitarist…reminds me of early Kurt Vile, with it’s mix of aggression and looseness’ – Byron Coley, Wire Magazine

DEAD FINKS is New Zealand-born duo Erin Violet and Joseph Thomas playing post-punk music in the tradition of Wire, Sonic Youth and Parquet Courts. Their current incarnation is a 4 piece band based in Berlin.

The band started gaining traction in 2021 when the video for their single “(My Human) Extinction” was premiered on the taste-making Harakiri Diät channel, becoming a modest hit in underground punk circles. They gained further attention after being hand-picked by Detroit post-punk stalwarts Protomartyr to support several dates of their 2022 EU tour, and went on to support Dry Cleaning on the entire European leg of their 2023 world tour.

Their most recent album is 2024’s “Eve of Ascension”, a “prelapsarian nine-track survey of suffering shot through with anxious belligerence, in which paranoid chants ring out with sputtering non-defeat and woozy caterwauling harmonies go toe-to-toe against insistently sclerotic drumming”. It is available now through Urge Records.

APELAST is a psych-stoner rock band blending fuzzy, blues-infused solos with shoegaze textures and raw energy.

Fronted by vocalist, guitarist, and producer Neta Apelast (also known for work with Acid Boys, Maggot Heart, Lucifer, and Otherface), the band performs in various lineups—ranging from a stripped-down duo to a full four-piece ensemble.

Drawing inspiration from acts like Queens of the Stone Age, Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats, and Grand Funk Railroad, Apelast crafts a powerful sound that fuses high-octane rock'n'roll with emotional ballads. With gritty riffs, catchy melodies, and soulful vocals, their dynamic blend of heavy and heartfelt will shake your bones and stay in your head.

YEHUDA KORNFELDs music project serves as an outlet for void fragments of hope, broken hearts wrapped in sorrow and love. Seamlessly combining jazzy arrangements with exotic touches and experimental folk.

In May 2025, Yehuda released his debut EP via Garzen Records. His songs offer flashes of light amidst personal and collective wounds, inviting listeners into a world where despair and hope coexist, with music as a powerful force for healing and connection.

NEUKÖLLNER SPEED DATING CLUB started as a solo project based around samplers, drum machines, synthesizers and keyboards, but now performs with a constantly changing line-up of various instruments. The drones, kraut-like repetition and bouncy electronic drums mixed with motoric sampled kits creates a hypnotic and psychedelic feel, mixed with a pinch of things like dub, noise and pop.

Bärchen und die Milchbubis (Punkrock /Hannover) + Ende Neubau (Indiekrach/ Berlin)
Tickets

Mit Jung kaputt spart Altersheime lieferten Bärchen und die Milchbubis zu Beginn der 80er-Jahre DEN Punk-Slogan der Zeit, „No Future!“, war das Motto. Doch auch über den Punk hinaus verfügte die Band über reichlich Pop-Appeal und agierte an der Schnittstelle zur Neuen Deutschen Welle. Ich will nicht älter werden, hieß es auf ihrem Debütalbum Dann macht es Bumm (1981). Älter geworden sind sie, milde jedoch nicht, denn Anlass zum Wütend-Sein und Feiern gibt es noch immer. Über 40 Jahre später folgt nun mit ihrem zweiten Album also Die Rückkehr des Bumm!

Ende der Siebziger begannen Annette „Bärchen“ Simons und eine Gruppe Teenager-„Milchbubis“, Hannover unsicher zu machen. Von da an war die Band mit ihren humorvoll-subversiven Texten breitflächig vertreten: Von Jugendzentren, Underground-Tapes und nischigen Fanzines über die Bravo bis ins BRD-Fernsehen sowie auf den großen Bühnen des Landes – viele waren dem Bärchen-Charme verfallen. Nach einer LP und einer EP folgte 1983 mit der Label- auch die Bandauflösung und die Gruppe verschwand vorerst von der Bildfläche.

Und jetzt sind sie wieder da, und natürlich auch im Schokoladen Berlin!
