The Sensitives (Punk-Rock/ Rock ́n Roll | Schweden)
The Sensitives sind eine wilde Mischung aus Punk, Rock ́n Roll, Ska und Folk. Sie touren seit
Jahren durch Europa und haben dabei mehr als 400 Shows gespielt. Bei ihren mitreißenden
Konzerten findet sich eine treue Fanbase aus Menschen ein, die ihren Mittelfinger jeder Form von
Rassismus & Sexismus entschlossen entgegenstrecken.
Die Band aus dem hohen Norden Schwedens hat schon immer gewusst, wie man zwischen
verschiedensten Stilistiken hin und her wechseln kann ohne den Kern zu verlieren und das immer
voller Energie! Mal singt Paulina, dann ist Martin am Hauptgesang, immer getrieben vom nie
ruhenden Magnus am Schlagzeug. Auf ihrem aktuellen Album „Patch It Up And Go!“ ist das nicht
anders.
Der großen Frustration, keine Touren aufgrund der weltweiten Pandemie spielen zu können, folgten unzählige Konzerte in Europa, sobald das wieder möglich war. Viele Autobahnkilometer, wenig Schlaf und ein riesiger Berg an Kosten, aufgrund ihres immer wieder streikenden Tour-Van, ließen eine erschöpfte Band zurück. Doch The Sensitives wären nicht The Sensitives, wenn sie nicht aus allem das Beste machen würden. So packten sie all ihre Emotionen und Erlebnisse in die Songs ihres neuen Albums und nannten es thematisch passend „Patch It Up And Go!“. Die Texte des Albums, das über Kidnap Music erscheint, handeln von „Mental Health, Sex, Animal Rights and the importance of celebrating the good times we have while we have them!“ sagt das Trio.
Mit vielen Uptempo Nummern, die durch einen positiven Vibe und hohe Intensität herausstechen,
ist „Patch It Up And Go“ nicht nur das beste Album von The Sensitives, sondern auch das
persönlichste. Füße werden tanzen, Hüften geschwungen und Kehlen werden gröhlen!
Liar Thief Bandit is a power trio born to play live with the sole purpose of carrying the torch of
everything that ever was, is and will be rock’n’roll in its purest form. Raw, undeniable energy combined
with a melodic essence and uplifting lyrics continues to make the band stand out as one of the most
interesting acts of this day and age.
This Swedish life force has released three full-length albums and the latest mini-album called
“Diamonds” was released on September 16th, 2022. The band entered the studio once again in the
fall of 2023 to record their 4th full-length album set to be released in 2024.
With a true DIY mentality, the band has done over 200 shows and is considered a professional live
band with plenty of merits. They have 12 European tours under their belt as well as support shows for
The Hellacopters, Graveyard, The Bronx, Supersuckers, Hank von Hell, Electric Six, Valiant Thorr
among others. A support tour in Sweden with Royal Republic (Live Nation) in 2022 and a slot at
Sweden Rock Festival 2023 counts as their latest and biggest achievements. It’s safe to say thishard-
working band is tobe reckoned with.
Influences span from the classic rock of the ‘70s through the garage revival of the ‘90s and all the
way up to contemporary, inspiring acts –always with an intense live dynamic and full focus on
roaring melodies.

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.”

NAP EYES’ metamorphic fifth long-player collects a cache of nine fascinating songs recorded over the four years since Snapshot of a Beginner. The Neon Gate reveals classic touchstones (the uneasy interplay of physics and philosophy, perambulatory meditations, self-interrogating soliloquies, apertures of surreality, video games), but also evidence of divergent impulses toward nonlinear abstraction and longform improvisational composition (resulting in their most discursive, deconstructed, and deliquescent songs to date) and narrative and lyric formality (including adaptations of thorny poems by Alexander Pushkin and W. B. Yeats), imparting the sense that Nap Eyes have transmuted, as has their understanding of what a song is, what it can do, where it might go.

NAIVE SET is an Amsterdam-based band that, for more than 10-years, has taken a loose approach to detailed guitar pop, making songs both easy on the ears and pleasing on repeat. In their three previous full-lengths and one EP, the band weaved together hazy and wavy with bright and shiny, channeling guitar-pop classics without being defined by them.
Dubbed “smart, highly catchy indiepop,” by VPRO 3voor12 and “classic-indie artisans” by MOJO, Naive Set is back in 2024, releasing stellar new material (compared to “silver crystal” by the Volkskrant) with the Amsterdam-based label AT EASE. Their full length, In Air Quotes, is out October 18th.
Recorded at Schenk Studio, Amsterdam, then mixed in Melbourne by Mikey Young, the Australian producer of bands like Dick Diver, Total Control, and Twerps.

Ceschi is a genre-blurring force in indie music and founder of Fake Four Inc.
His blend of hip-hop, punk, and folk, paired with raw, introspective lyrics, has made him a mainstay for listeners seeking something honest. With albums like The One Man Band Broke Up and Sad, Fat Luck, Ceschi has championed a fiercely independent music scene.
Since 2021, he’s channeled his restless creativity into Codefendants, a project with bandmates Sam King (Get Dead) and Fat Mike (NOFX), mixing punk grit with rap’s edge to tackle social and political issues. Ceschi just released his last solo album, Bring Us the Head of Francisco False (Part 2) and is currently touring the U.S. before he will leave for a final European tour in June 2025 with his longtime companion and legendary Canadian producer Factor Chandelier - one last chapter in his uncompromising musical journey.
