𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲
This bizarre mathcore/noise-punk outfit from Eindhoven knows how to melt together unusual time signatures, schizophrenic riffs and unhinged hardcorde punkbeats. Or as they call it themselves: ‘‘migraine-inducing math noise for (and by) people who need to go see a therapist.’’ Well… See you there!

𝐌𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐔𝐥𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐬
London’s Mouth Ulcers are the new pulse of dark post-punk. Drawing from legends like The Cure, Bauhaus, and Twin Tribes, they fuse tribal drums, moody baritone vocals, and atmospheric guitars into a sound critics call “music for vampires to dance to.” Already turning heads with sold-out UK and Netherlands shows, the quartet delivers music that’s urgent, intoxicating, and irresistibly cool. With their debut EP on the horizon via Lab Records and a summer live run set to ignite.

𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐅𝐒
With a combination of punk, noise and post-punk, HOOFS have been described as a band “not for the faint of heart”. Their shows are creating an environment where you can be yourself and it doesn’t matter if that means being happy, angry, energetic, introspective or whatever. So all that are “faint of heart”: get ready for an intense harmony of gritty basslines, pounding drums, noisy guitars and inescapable vocals.

London-based Hex Girlfriend, the electrifying duo of Noah Yorke and James Knott, fuses rave, heavy rock, and industrial grooves into a theatrical sonic storm. Their live shows are a visual and auditory spectacle. Think striking costumes, white armor, and beats that won’t let you sit still. Debut EP No Golf Cart Parking (2024) tackles rebellion, self-worth, and social critique with playful yet heavy energy. Expect chaotic danceability, unexpected twists, and a band boldly defying norms.
