Unplaces live!, as the name of the album suggests, is the new disc from Unplaces - an album with the live hits of the past releases and years.
The songs not only represent the previous records "Changes" (2018), Ambition (2016) and Time (2014), but also reflect the musical spectrum of Unplaces. From rock numbers to melancholic songs to danceable hits. Of the same kind, “Time”, which the band actually had on their setlist at all their concerts, is also a crowd pleaser!
It is a recording of the concert on February 9th, 2019 from the flashbacks of their hometown Bochum, which was refined with additional recordings in the Wellencocktail recording studio in Hanover. The band's joy of playing is acoustically tangible, paired with their enthusiastic audience, a beautiful, emotional album came out of it, which is not only an enrichment for fans, but also a great start for new discoverers of the band due to the song selection. A consequent enrichment of UNPLACES discography, which makes the inspiring and stirring atmosphere of their concerts clear.
Accompanying the album release, UNPLACES can be experienced live until the end of the year and beyond and of course they have the released live songs with them.

Kaufhaus Dahl play German-language indie rock with reminiscences of the early NDW and a pinch of post-punk. You had to tell them that first, but now they like it. The debut "Für Alle" mainly contains up-tempo numbers with refrains that stick and some other (medically harmless) brain milling. There's guitars, bass, drums and vocals and little frills, but plenty of pop appeal. A cheap e-pad from Asia and a Dutch Philicorda organ from the 1960s have also crept in.
The texts are about, for example, the self-optimization madness or the reverberation of the social media echo chambers as well as the weather, small and large clubs, the botch of the past or simply the frustration about the relegation of the football club (which has meanwhile risen again is). So far, Kaufhaus Dahl has mainly played on the Rhine and Ruhr in North Rhine-Westphalia, but with "Für Alle" it will also be going to the neighboring federal states from late summer 2019. The small town department store is on its way. The album was created in the "Klangfabrique" Lohmar and is available through Timezone Records.

Mediokrist means average person, which is also the main theme of the album "Traumwelt". The fight for self-realization in modern society under the influence of the media and the environment is dealt with thematically. Without making political statements, problems are addressed both directly and ironically.
The musical accompaniment to the lyrics can be classified for the most part in the metalcore genre, with elements from hardcore, punk, pop and other areas also being used. The targeted use of synthesizers condenses the sound with its 80s vibe to create an exciting and dense atmosphere. Although the album is not a concept album in the classic sense, the structure of the album and the songs have been deliberately chosen to clarify the thematic processing of the lyrics.

There has hardly ever been a time when there was more judgment about good and evil than today. Everyone claims to be able to distinguish between the two – but they are anything but in agreement among themselves.
With their concept album 'Black', Scintilla Anima draw an artistic complete work about good and bad as well as their connections and contradictions in the minds of their listeners. With their 'Wall of Dark Sound', the band from Düsseldorf around muse Trinity produces pop, new wave, avant-garde - fitting the theme of the album 'Black', sometimes contradictory.
Even the single 'Awake' hit the German Alternative Charts (DAC) without the support of major labels or promotion agencies and even rushed into the top ten at number 7.
The follow-up, 'Emptiness of Black', follows on seamlessly from this wake-up call thanks in part to prominent support from Olaf Wollschläger (Unheilig, And One, Mesh). Various joint shows are performed live with big names in the scene, such as Ost+Front, Stoneman, Grausame Daughters or Clan Of Xymox.

Color is the long-awaited follow-up album to the predecessor Belonging, which the East Westphalians released four years ago. Time that was used to work extensively on new sounds, time that was used to reflect.
We live in “modern times”, which seem to be the age of populism, marked by fears, social insecurity, hatred, discrimination and narcissism. We live in a world that seems to be increasingly divided into black and white, monotonous, colorless
A young generation finds itself between hope and doubt, between rebellion and fear; a generation striving for self-expression and self-fulfilment, watching this society slowly being driven to the brink of insanity.
Well, actually Summery Mind don't see themselves as a political band and they certainly don't want to point the finger at anyone and assign blame. That happens often enough already. The band is concerned with this album about identity and self-realization, about encouraging a young generation to form their own opinions and thoughts, to go through the world without prejudice, to take responsibility and to draw their view of the world in all its bright colors , instead of falling into black and white thinking.
“Love becomes our language and words our loaded gun!” (futuremakers)
Color will be released as a digipack and download as well as in an exclusive, limited box set, which contains the digipack, an extended booklet, a second CD with 5 instrumentals as well as demo recordings from the songwriting process and unreleased live acoustic recordings, a signed autograph card , a fine art print of a band picture, a foldable rhombohedron as well as stickers and picks.

Crazy idea and beer mood. Two buddies are writing a record together. Guys Fornia. What is produced at the end is a colorful mix of piano and guitar sounds, carried by robust drums. In the center of the tracks are the German-language lyrics, which bring surprising images to your eyes.
The melodies get into your ears and legs and the lyrics burn into your brain. Live, it's hard to believe that this sound is delivered by just two players. As the album title already promises: A "found food" for music lovers who are still looking for these small, special concert moments.

The journey begins around 2012, when the band members, who are equally rooted in Vienna, Graz and Imst, launched the trio Under Violet Skies.
Since then, the Austrians have been sonicating the country beyond the mountains and borders with rich guitar riffs from the hands of Alex, who sets the hard direction with his epochal guitar sound. These sounds are supported by bass man Josef, who brings the appropriate depth to the songs.
Marina finally mixes up the heavy metal style with her tender voice and meets the tastes far beyond the borders of the genre
Metallers out in perfection! In addition, she - who successfully completed her drum studies in the USA - not only hits hard drums, but also soft piano tones if necessary.
With his new album "Colors of Chaos" interprets the unusual
Dreigestirn already in the album title the diversity of his music - without that
to be unfaithful to one's own style: an unusual mixture of driving riffs,
hard drums and a soft core. The recognition value at first

The SSB (Stefan Saffer Band) has been one of the most interesting independent bands from Leipzig since 2013. Since then, the band has developed a very individual style, which is strongly influenced by punk, classic 80s indie guitar rock, noise elements, but also by catchy, 60s-inspired melodies. This unusual and original sound has its origin mainly in the line-up of the band.
In addition to singer/guitarist Stefan Saffer (who also writes all the songs), bassist Tom Löwe and drummer Koma Kschentz complete the SSB line-up. Stefan Saffer - also known to many as a classic singer/songwriter in the field of tension between American folk/country/bluegrass and who released his highly acclaimed singer/songwriter album 'Singers & Players' on Timezone in 2015 - stands for solid, knowledgeable songwriting, has but also an eventful punk/rock past (from 1986 - 1992 singer/guitarist in the Bamberg high-energy rock band Stranded Jaywalks).
Band youngster bassist Tom Löwe comes from the classic metal/hard rock environment, while drummer Koma Kschentz (son of Renft musician Peter Pjotr ​​Kschentz, who died in 2005) can hardly be classified stylistically (Leipzig fans know the multitude of different bands in which he has already played the swung sticks), but his roots definitely lie in metal, punk and hardcore. In the classic trio line-up, the SSB develops a rock-hard sound, especially live, which has it all and with which hardly any comparisons work - although enthusiastic concert-goers keep mentioning names like Hükser Dü, Dinosaur jr, the Clash, the Who , Stooges - these may all be true as influences and inspirations, but they are all melted down into a powerful synthesis of contemporary and classic independent rock styles. Melodic, catchy songs come hard, driving and with a lot of power over the ramp, lose themselves for minutes in dissonant feedback and noise attacks until the band turns back into the song with a hard break and brings it home with a lot of verve!
With the brand new album 'New Day', this musical whirlwind is finally coming to everyone who has not yet been able to experience the band live: 10 new, original songs with an amazing stylistic variety of punk/hardcore hitters ('New Day') to riff-heavy but melodic power pop songs ('House of Rain', 'Rewind/Restart'), psychedelic-epic guitar landscapes ('Purple Plains, 'Cry Fire'), rock-hard, doomy rock ('Most hated man in town'). to the big noise freakout 'Cheap Wigs'! Press: "The Stefan Saffer Band from Leipzig delivered an energetic rock show with thundering guitar riffs and the uniquely rough voice of Stefan Saffer" (Magdeboogie.de) "The 3 guys are reminiscent of rock greats like "The Who" or "The Clash" and offered a rock-hard live performance” (Rockland FM) “Their live show has an explosive emotionality that frontman Stefan Saffer lived out to the full at this gig! Strong!” (SZ)

When the lines between self-pity and hate blur, it's time to get loud. A lot has happened in the last three years since the release of their debut "Brutalin" that deserves attention and musical reappraisal. And so, in addition to personal topics, “Self-compassion culture” also includes observations of world events and the gradual reduction in empathy. Fanatics of all stripes prepare the ground for populists (“Seeden Auges”, “Treibhaus”). Neighbors and friends forget how to talk to each other and take refuge in their filter bubbles (“self-help culture”). Inner quarrels and fears about the future (“Janusmann”, “Das Rad”, “Victim Circles”) fight their way into consciousness and yet there are always those moments when everything just fits, you can forget everything (“Adrenaline”) and find the strength to overcome oneself in order to make the world a little bit better ("Invincible"). Between insanity and desperate optimism, "self-compassion culture" hits where others knock hollow slogans and thrash phrases - right in the face. "For the country - the poet and thinker they become the judge and executioner"

Here comes the musical recording bitch on duty. Just saved himself from the ashes of burnt primeval dreams. The solitary guardian of the striving Grail almost disappeared forever. But fished out from the depths of abandonment in its final hint by Timezone, this one still presents itself dynamic enough to perhaps let some people discover. If you go into the world of Hellen's songs more often, you will be rewarded with freshness and a variety of discoveries. In addition, Hellemen does not bother with tinkering, but unabashedly spits out his outpourings on CDs. Sloppy, fast, but always ahead. Even if he has to deal with the consequences of cables living at night and knotting themselves every day. First take is the program. If Hellemen isn't beaten to death at some point, he'll keep showering us with CDs that will always be different, yet somehow familiar. What else is pouring down on us in German? Listen to the beautiful world and start with Hellen.

With "Analogue Souls In Digital Times" the indie collective around the charismatic head and songwriter Robert Nouve follows the original wave and post-punk development of the 80s underground and delivers, as usual, demanding and intensive songs for head, heart and dancefloor. A completely logical development for Nouve himself, who only presented his current novel Drüben last fall: “Even when we recorded our last record Greatest Hits, we felt the vibe and the reputation of electronics. With the new sounds we've almost become more eighties than eighties without losing our style or copying anything. We only realized how much we followed music history and got close to many of our musical role models from the good old days when we finished it.” Thanks to the cross-genre and cross-scene art claim, the album comes up with a lot of freshness and versatility.
The pre-single "Forever And A Day", which is already rotating in the clubs, with its deep and driving beats and a catchy and danceable melody, is an example of the classic and innovative approach of the album. The songs pull the listener into their own world of sound from the very first minute and take them on an intensive and energetic trip through the entire range of variations of the electronic synth underground of the eighties. In his lyrics, which become more and more sophisticated from album to album, Nouve deals with the intellectual emptiness of the post-capitalist zeitgeist, the disorientation of society and the lost individual within it. At the end there is a hidden track for a straight tender farewell. Analogue Souls In Digital Times will be released on CD and audiophile heavyweight vinyl. The CD contains a bonus track. The vinyl first edition will be strictly limited, hand-numbered and with hand-finished artwork. The special edition, which is only available via the website, also includes a tape with an additional non-album track.

"The Girl, The God, The Rush" will be released on March 9th - the first studio album by the German-Dutch band SUiT. The mix of hard, rocking songs and extraordinary ballads was recorded in the well-known Moon Studios in Holland in winter 2016/17 and presents a promising new act to the dusty European rock scene. SUiT deliver sexy and robotic monster riffs, bluesy rhythms and layered melodies. Songs like "Robot Sweat" or "1q84" show that these guys also have a weakness for the dance floor - a dark, dirty, Tarantinoesque one at that! Despite the heaviness of SUiT's rocking side, songs like "Kings and Queens", "Quicksand Waterfalls" or "Over the Next Hill" make you melt away. Combining sophistication, space and psychedelic elements, this rock quartet manages to get you dancing along the way with ease.
And while "The Girl, The God, The Rush" sounds seductively sweet, the album offers enough rough edges and lyrical turmoil to keep it interesting. Singer Brown is a skilled storyteller, singing about romantic obsessions, torturous affairs, the dark side of friendships, or the Sisyphean task of letting go. This album was long overdue and here it is at last: an alternative rock album that marks the beginning of an emotional, strong and exciting band. This is SUIT.

This is SUiT The Girl, The God, The Rush is the first full-length studio album released by German/Dutch rock band SUiT on March 9, 2018. The mix of hard rocking songs and sublime ballads was recorded in Winter 2016/17 at renowned Moon Studios in Holland and introduces a promising new act to the seemingly dusty European rock scene. SUiT delivers sexy and robotic monster riffs, bluesy rhythms and eclectic melodies.
Songs like "Robot Sweat" and "1q84" both show these guys also have a taste for the dance floor - and what a gritty and dirty Tarantino-esque one that is!! But no matter how heavy the rocking side of SUiT becomes, songs like "Kings and Queens", "Quicksand Waterfalls" or "Over the Next Hill" just melt in your mouth. ! This rock quartet explores elegance, space, and psychedelia and equally unaffectedly makes you want to move your ass. And even though "The Girl, The God,The Rush" is seductively sweet in sound, there are just enough rough edges and lyrical unrest to keep things interesting. Singer Brown is a skillful storyteller, versifying between romantic obsession and haunting affairs, diving into the dark side of a friendship or a Sisyphus-like tale of letting go.
This album has been overdue for many years and here you have it: finally, an alternative rock record that marks the beginning of an emotional, powerful and exciting band from Europe. This is SUIT.

Sebastian Weisser and Nicolai Höhler from Berlin and Dresden-City make noise like a five-piece lo-fi garage band. Or like the soul of a speeding vintage moped. Unrelentingly loving, they tear at guitars and demand tempos from their percussion far beyond urban speed limits. A mash-up of new wave, blues and psychedelic accompanies their snotty screaming.
Screw it mentality? Not at all. The two shine with the playfulness of an undisguised naive gaze. Travel In Space is the appreciation of the moment. The fox who is afraid of the city lights and the desire to fly south with the migratory birds.
The band stands for self-determination, not having to go to school and against the "green and mean" influence of the police.
The guys have been playing together since 2010 and come from punk. On their tours from Berlin to Madrid, one thing in particular should never be missing: the many small parts of the percussion set given by fans and friends.

Sporty, sporty: Somewhere between modern metal, alternative rock with progressive influences and powerful stadium rock, Nump master the balancing act between convention and musical standards in an almost acrobatic manner. The music of the Franconian fivesome varies deliberately, sometimes even provocatively, between heavy 7-string riffing and atmospheric balladesque epic, but always comes up with well thought-out song structures.
On the one hand, the guys thrash with tight force and meter-high guitar walls, only to lose themselves in minimalist sound experiments the next moment and at the same time prove with an almost casual matter-of-factness that the art of the guitar solo is far from dead in modern rock and metal. It is precisely this contrast that is Nump's characteristic stylistic element, which serves as the framework for her musical work.
2017 saw the release of Nump's fourth studio album "Sun Is Cycling" with nine brand new songs. Neat groove, catchy hooklines and high suitability for live served as the specifications for the songwriting. In terms of sound, a decent shovel could also be added compared to the previous albums.
Quite clearly: the music is really fun, also because it quickly becomes clear that there is also a lot of craftsmanship on offer. Songwriter Thorsten Geschwandtner demonstrates an outstanding songwriting talent and is supported by singer Christian Seynstahl with partly genre-untypical melodic, partly powerful vocal lines. The musical empathy results in the coherent overall picture: the band Nump.

A five-piece metalcore band that formed in late 2013 and wants to show what's beneath the tips of the icebergs in a world that only deals with the obvious. They make atypical Metalcore, in which they don't impose any limits and find the most diverse influences.
In 2017 they released their debut album, consisting of ten songs that reflect this diversity and variety. There is no rehearsed choreography, no image. Here are five guys who do whatever they want, with a passion. It has already been seen as support for bands such as Thy art is Murder, For Today, More than a thousand, Novelists, Make them Suffer, Silent Planet, Walking Dead on Broadway, Eskimo Callboy, as an opener at the Knockdown Festival 2015 in Karlsruhe, and as part of the EMP Rawr Party in Bochum. With the debut album "Illusions" Miles Beneath want to reach even more people with their songs and bring their views and opinions to the public to uncover grievances and do their part.

Killing Age - These are modern thrash metal riffs, mixed with driving stoner grooves and a brute whiskey tube. Main influences are 90s thrash bands like Pantera and Machine Head, as well as sludge metal like Down or Crowbar.
The band has been touring tirelessly from one stage to the next since 2009 and has become a fixture in the German metal scene. Highlights were supporting Hellyeah and Ektomorf on their Black Flag Tour, as well as festival appearances at the Kaltenbach Open Air (Austria) and the Riverside Festival in Esslingen. A total of almost 150 concerts have been played in Germany and many other countries.
In 2017 Killing Age present themselves with a new cast. Jannik Seeg replaced Gregor Bös on drums, and Max Heimerdinger joined the band for Okay Kinavli on guitar. In addition, a second guitarist, Alex Wolf, was brought on board to give the Killing Age Dampfhammer even more power live.

Nejat Dimili's songs dance cautiously to melodies that reveal no identity whatsoever. Somewhere in the mist they unite with dark-cold lyrics that drip down from the desolate heights of romance.
A heavy bass and dramatic synthesizers that float out of the speakers towards the listener present motifs like smoke - difficult to grasp and unclearly defined. His stories seem to come from a dream stuck somewhere between sleep and wakefulness.
His songs harbor confused souls and confront the listener with sheer loneliness, which Dimili delivers with the utmost sincerity - and perhaps this numb feeling is what is romantic about his songs.

He was an artist of life. Immigrant. A city nomad. Or, as Eric Pulverich puts it with a smile: "A pretty disheveled, drug-ridden slob." But: One with a good heart. His name? kyle This Kyle guided Eric, who was then touring Australia at the age of 19, through Sydney's nightlife. A wild, unpredictable trip. Kyle knew everyone and nobody; was right in the middle of the action and at the same time a lonely figure. "Kyle is together alone" went through Eric's mind. When the singer and guitarist founded the nucleus of a band with Johann Giertz (bass) at university in 2011 and later completed it with Daniel Mau (guitar and synths) and Jan Fischer (drums), he called it after the short form of this sentence: Kyles Tolone.

Straight and hard, true to old influences, open to new things. Something with New York hardcore and Bay Area thrash maybe. Zeitgeist? Doesn't really matter. Too old to bow down to current trends, too young to give up your beliefs. German lyrics, mostly and at the moment anyway - there's just so damn much to say in these times. And otherwise? Burning for the common cause. That's all - and more than enough. Which category do Arrested Mind fit into? You could locate them - if that's the case: between old thrash/hardcore like SOD, Pantera, Pro-Pain, Biohazard and new German hardcore bands like Thousand Lions among enemies or GWLT.

Agentpunch is a heavy metal band from Osnabrück. Agentpunch was founded in 2016 to play authentic, handmade music. Agentpunch combine different influences from the rock and metal genres: starting somewhere between Jimi Hendrix, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin, mediated by Iron Maiden and Saxon, the band's style finally rounds off with a concentrated portion of Motörhead.

Five eventful years lie behind the heavy rock band BLIND MAN'S GUN from Hamburg. After numerous performances, including as support for international and national artists, they worked intensively on new songs in 2015/2016 and will release them on their new album "Beyond the Darkness" in autumn 2016 under the flag of Alster Records.
After the first EP "HELLDORADO" in 2013, the new album "BEYOND THE DARKNESS" is now being followed up. The core of the album is a trilogy that tells of the destruction of the earth by humans, who are finally trying to save their own habitat.
The music is dramatic and passionate, every word well considered and interpreted powerfully. Heavy riffs meet Nadine's strong, melodic vocals and take an unpredictable course. This is exactly the trademark of this band, always providing musical surprises without being untrue to their style.
The disc has the motto: "Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." by Confucius. It should give people the hope to get up stronger after failure.
BLIND MAN'S GUN reaches a new level and aims to push boundaries in every way. The record was produced by Torben Ibs and Lars Springer on the controls. Music and lyrics were written by Lars Springer and Nadine Meyer. Henning Basse did the vocal recording and the backing vocals.

Dirt, dirt, dirt. That what Germany's so-called 'Ruhrpott' region is known for. The Dortmund 4-piece Lynx Lynx is proud of this origin. Dirt's stuck deep down in their lungs. Over the years, parents, teachers, and friends have failed cleaning up their grubby hands and faces. There was only one way to go: rubbing it off on guitar picks, drum sticks, and mics. That worked out very well!
After their recent 10inch 'Trailer Park', their upcoming full-length album called '7' will be released again through off label records/Timezone. This 11-track LP offers a raw mix ranging from hip shaking garage tunes and fuzz'o'delic blues-punk to cheap 70s drum computer noise pop. It is recorded live & eight-track with Fuzztones engineer Bart el Monte. The album comes as LP (with download codes, 300 copies only!), CD, and funky pink MC.

“On their new EP 'Trailer Park' the cover art fits the music...perfectly. It has both feet in fuzzy, scratchy garage rock and sounds less like a hip revival than like a beat and polyester suits – and without the 'The' in the name!” - VISIONS 05/2014 (GER)

"Trailer Park: So far my song of the year 2014 !" - ROCKTIMES 03/2014 (GER)

In a time when the term “Rock” has shriveled to become nothing more than a gleaming sign at ringtone-commercials, Lynx Lynx are traveling ancient prairies hand in hand with The Gories, The Stooges and even with the unique Howlin Wolf ready to create a sound too aggressive and soulful to call it just another throw back 60's garage yawnfest. Lynx Lynx was founded to melt down tympanic membranes by just one howl. It is this quest that made them unite the pack and leave their beloved cave to turn your stage into their riff-mined hunting-ground. May true believers survive the attack.

But almost certainly something like: "Well done!" Five virtuosos are at work on Spirit Of The Future Sun. The sticking point: They put their technical skills at the service of the songs and create organic music with complex structures that appeal to body and mind alike.
Eike Freese (Dark Age / Hansen & Friends) has done a great job on the controls: The sound is so transparent that every detail comes across perfectly, and at the same time heavy enough to make steamrollers jealous. Turn up!

"The Worst Is Yet To Come" tells the story of Eddie, who tries to fight against the ills of his time in a dystopian society. A project in which he fails so much that he loses sanity and humanity. As indicated in some passages, he remarks only after he has lost everything and everyone, his schizophrenia and it finally perishes - and that with drums and trumpets.
Inspired by Edward Mordrake, a real, phenomenal 19th-century medical case. Mordrake had a second face on the back of his head, an incompletely absorbed Siamese twin. Though unable to speak, this face is said to have grimaced the opposite emotions of Mordrake. Mordrake claimed it spoke to him in his sleep about unimaginable, demonic things that humans dare not even think.
After all requests to have it removed were denied, Edward Mordrake took his own life at a young age. Some claim he was found with a grinning face on the back of his head.

For years, Steve walked past Alexander's former bookstore every day. Both are experienced musicians. Steve Train with his "Bad Habits" and Alexander Möckl with "The Leadbelly Project" and various solo projects as "poembeat". So why not do something together for once? Ideas for a joint project came immediately. The chemistry was right from the start. Several recordings were made in their own studio. Two of them can now be heard on the debut single.

The Ducs are one of those phenomena that have become very rare. A rock band in which the fans in band shirts wait long before the entrance in front of the hall and permanently accompany the music and life of their favorite band.
After a tour through America and as Seether's tour support, the trio from Hanover was able to gain a lot of experience that can now be found on their debut album "Disillusion".

The second Fatzke year is even more eventful than the last. In addition to numerous club shows across Germany, the Fatzkes will also be sharing festival stages with bands such as Marathonmann, Itchy Poopzkid, Sondaschule, Terror, Egotronic and Stick To Your Guns in the coming months.
"Auf ein Wort" offers lovers of punk sounds as well as catchy music a lot of variety. You can laugh, you can cry and you can dance - an album that has something to offer you in every situation.

"[...] While I'm still wondering how singer Maze manages to move so much and still shout flawlessly, the next backflip is coming." - Carnage Magazine
“Love and anger, hate and courage, step by step do something; move something. The album is thematically exactly what defines us as a band.”- As I Rise
Lyrically, they want to encourage the listener to learn more about the content of their songs. About grievances in the past and current problems around us. Personal distress, social, ecological or societal injustice, as well as principles that are going wrong in the world are processed in the album. Everyone can identify with it and everyone knows these problems - everyone can start, everyone can help - everyone can make a difference! It's not about pointing fingers, it's not about being a role model: It's about getting something moving in the listeners with music.
Musically, the lyrics are packed in rebellious, powerful riff rage and underpinned with poignant melodies. There is also clear, rousing but not pop vocals to underline text passages and refrains. Adrenaline-soaked screams, polyphonic choirs, string parts and nuances of effects - all this makes the quartet's seventh-titled debut a very special album by a still fresh newcomer band. Recorded, mixed and mastered in Pitchback Studio with Aljoscha Sieg (ANY GIVEN DAY, ESKIMO CALLBOY, VITJA…)

Around ten years after the debut album The Last Goodbye Is Not Always The End, which was released in 2006, the new album by the indie band project The Nouve will be released in spring 2016.
Under the programmatic title Greatest Hits, mastermind and songwriter Robert Nouve has once again invited highly qualified guests to create eleven highly remarkable and catchy song pearls with him.
Stylistically, the whole thing moves in the broad spectrum that is typical for Nouve's work, between anthemic rock, sophisticated indie pop, recourse to the sound aesthetics and energy of punk, wave and underground as well as intimate ballad-esque moments with the addition of catchy pop melodies and intelligent lyrics, in short: the mixture for which Nouve once invented the specific genre of depressive pop. Sonically, it was all enhanced by mixing by John Agnello and mastering by Scott Hull, both recognized figures in their fields and with too long a list of exceptional achievements in the music business to list here.
Despite or perhaps because of the completely analogue and musically intensive sound, comparisons with the early works of bands such as New Order, The Cure, Nick Cave or the Sisters Of Mercy will accompany the listener throughout the entire album.

The Vagoos - Punk flavored Rhythm & Blues droned out by four German misfits since 2010.
Since 2009 the Vagoos have given numerous concerts at parties, clubs, beach bars, concert halls, youth centers, restaurants, libraries, squat houses or just out in the streets. They've been touring through Germany, Austria, France, Spain, Portugal, and played with Reverend Beat-Man, The Movement, Las Aspiradoras, The Razorblades, Juke Joint Pimps, and many other great bands.
In June 2014 they released their first LP on off label records. In December 2015 their second album will be released on off label records and on tape via Wiener Records.

"Revisionists, revivalists - call them what you will - but The Vagoos are the kind of band that know how to power a party. Just don't expect to see them after sunrise." (bluesbunny.com)

Something's brewing. The soup is called BrutaliN and is served with a large ladle. A riff-heavy mixture of Thrash, Hardcore and Metal with German lyrics. Always right in the face, always honest and often with a wink and a dash of Äppler. Founded in Frankfurt am Main at the end of 2012, Mein Kopf ist ein brutaler Ort gave its first sign of life in March 2013 with the EP “Neue Deutsche Schelle”. Predicate of the press: "... wide-ranging blood slide and fine slap for the often pathetic but bloodless Deutschrockhärtner band" (the-pit.de). After a turbulent year 2014 with line-up changes on drums and guitar, work on the first LP started in March 2015. BrutaliN clearly shows the early musical education of the boys.
Do you wear welder shirts? Lamb of God and Pantera and in shabby jeans they hit you with their very own mix of them. Songs like "payday", "I don't regret anything" or "headload" give you a good one, as only Heinz Schenk in the blue goat used to do.

Twin Flames play a midnight blue scene - somewhere between waking dream and vision - where the senses fail and the heart becomes the blind guide of the mind. The music finds its own way in Ethereal Rock. Hopeful, delicate and fragile scenarios blossom over rumbling, heavy arrangements. Vocals, guitar, bass and drums together paint a picture of this magnificent yet fragile night feeling.

Johnboy stands for modern heavy rock in a power trio format. Powerful and catchy riffs, carried by a fat guitar sound and driving rhythms, peppered with melodic refrains that go straight to the ear, but unobtrusively.
On their new album "State Of The Art" the band presents eleven expressive songs, multi-layeredly inspired by all influences that have shaped the spirit of rock music, without using common clichés or treading well-trodden paths. This is a logical further development of their self-distributed predecessor "Custom", which the makers of ROCK HARD magazine took as an opportunity to ennoble the power rock triumvirate in April 2013 with the title "Demo Tape of the Month".
With their minimalist line-up, the band has made it their task to fill every stage with a maximum of musical and visual presence. Whether on a club or festival stage, whether as the main band or supporting New Model Army, Zodiac or Nitrogods, the trio turns every show into an authentic live experience for the audience with passion and enthusiasm. If you are interested in contemporary and handmade Heavy Rock, you should definitely not miss Johnboy.
