• Hamburg, Germany noise rock/post-punk band GRUNDEIS “Bleach” debut single
  

Hamburg 4-piece deliver an intoxicating brew of post-punk and noise-rock, braced with punk and shoegaze undertones, with a kinetic swarm of guitar sonic fury that weaves stark whirls of abrasiveness and distortion, grounded by steady drumming that pounds and judders along in its vigorous floor-shaking drive along a taut rumbling bassline, to create dangerous, chugging rhythmic shards of noise, both unruly and edgy, as thick and turbulent to cut cold, anguished commanding vocals, unleashing ominous despair into excruciating 6-string dreaded dimensions. This band’s got their mojo workin’!

• Dalarna, Sweden coldwave /synthwave /synthpop producer Lars-Göran Forsberg aka FOPMUSIC “When Everything Is Blast” new single                                                                                                               

Hopelessly nostalgic and melodic classic synthpop from Central Sweden, steeped in OMD blissfully dazed melancholy, that wraps unexpected warm intimate vibes radiated by dazzling synth swells stretching organically, underpinned by steady hypnotic rhythms, around sensitive, emotional longing’s endearing take on the invigorating nature of belonging.

• Berlin/Hamburg NDW/minimal wave/synthpop duo of musician Christian Klesz and vocalist Francis Kussatz, Paragraf 201 “Seerosen auf Schlammbergen” from the debut EP “Läufst du mit, läufst du Gefahr”                        

Promising debut 3-tracker filled with dark synthpop deadpan from Northern Germany duo, Paragraf 201, doused in stark sinister throbbing bass threat and crunching tinny beats, stabbed by icy bright winding bleak synth melodies around cool, aloof vocals exuding haunting monochromatic ramblings into the ominous spinning layers of obscurity.
