nyco nemesis is a versatile singer/songwriter, producer, sound engineer, and visual artist. Her music transcends genres, merging sticky pop with grunge, punk and rock influences. nyco’s sonic vision explores themes of identity and self-reflection. Through her captivating soundscapes, she invites listeners to embrace authenticity and empowerment, carving a unique space in the realm of music.
The debut album SAME OLD; NEW WORLD takes listeners on an emotional rollercoaster through the depths of her psyche. Fusing alt-pop with hyperpop, metal, nostalgic 90s pop, and cinematic soundscapes, the album defies categorization, each track a new sonic chapter tied together by her raw lyricism and layered, expressive vocals. Themes of self-doubt, trauma, and escapism pulse through the record with striking vulnerability. Entirely self-produced and self-engineered, nyco brought this body of work to life in one uninterrupted flow of creative clarity, making it not just a debut, but a declaration of identity.
Mu Wang (王牧) (she/her) is a film and theater director as well as a performer based in Berlin/Stuttgart. At the intersection of media, Mu focuses on identity and feminism with a poetry of darkness.
About the film: The feeling of belonging nowhere is not only personal but also political.
Art student Ming will be leaving the city soon. On a gloomy day before her departure, she runs into a dancer named Sandy. The two find a strong reflection in each other. Between fantasy and reality, they create poetry in their own languages.

JEAN MIGNON is a solo project from NYC-via-Boston noise impresario Johnny Steines. He borrows the name of a 16th century French engraver to plunge into a breakneck, blistering river of feedback. Over the course of just under fourteen minutes, he shreds, howls, deadpans, and overall gives the impression of someone who might see that they have 666 monthly listeners on Spotify and say “Sick.”
Primal Rock and Roll that screams from the speakers and excites like a high-speed car chase! A reckless sort of freedom that comes with trading nuance for garage punk rawness.

Emerging from the hot, bubbling scene of Tel Aviv, PIE O MY quickly gained popularity in the local alternative circuits through relentless touring and word-of-mouth buzz. Soon enough they began performing at high-profile music festivals and received airplay on national radio.
Inspired by acts like Queens of the Stone Age, Ty Segall and The Oh Sees, Pie o My stands out for its unique blend of high-energy rock'n'roll with heartfelt ballads. With catchy melodies and memorable hooks, Pie’s distinctive fusion of heavy guitar riffs and smashing drums alongside mellow melodies and soulful vocals will shake your bones and electrify your senses on one song, then will break your heart and make you raise your lighter on the next.

Die junge Band Radio Free Alice aus Australien formiert sich um die vier Mitglieder Noah Learmonth (Gesang, Gitarre), Jules Paradiso (Gitarre), (Michael Phillips (Bass, Saxophon) und Lochie Dowd (Schlagzeug). Die Getriebenheit in ihrer Musik ist hypnotisierend, macht süchtig und lässt einen nicht zur Ruhe kommen. Der fragile Gesang Learmonth’ geht ganz tief rein. Radio Free Alice verstehen es, einen Sog zu erzeugen, der mit tighten Drums, knackigen Gitarren und ausuferndem Gesang den Post Punk typischen Rhythmus erzeugt, der Anwandlungen zum Indie-Rock hat. Da hört man The Strokes, The Killers, Interpol und auch ein bisschen The Smiths raus. Zu ihren Einflüssen zählen sie außerdem Talking Heads, The Cure und Joy Division, was sowohl optisch als auch musikalisch absolut Sinn ergibt. So als hätten die 1980er die 2000er angerufen und diese widerum 2025 und wollten ihren Sound zurück.
ABOUT BLAKE
About Blake's members have been
connected to Berlin's independent music scene since the end of the
nineties, forming the bands Phonetic, Paul Is Dead, Pleasure and
Portbridge.Martin and Guido played together in Paul Is Dead. Mathias and Martin
played in Phonetic. Oliver and Mathias played in Portrait Of The
Young Man As An Artist. Nils and Oliver tried to set up a band backages ago. Though that one didn't
work out you might wonder if the band's name would have started with
the letter 'P' as well. Sharing the same love for the wall
of sound indie outfits such as Mogwai, Radiohead or I Like Trains, early shoegaze stuff as well as
newgaze like DIIV or bdrmmm. And Blumfeld is a given. So it made
perfect sense that they decided to make music together and mix it withan essential sense of pop appeal,
no matter the language used.

Rob Fleming
Vier Berliner, ein Sound: kluge Texte, druckvoller Indie-Rock und
Melodien, die hängen bleiben. Rob Fleming & Band bringen Gedanken zum
Tanzen und Gefühle zum Klingen – laut, ehrlich, ungeschönt. Mit Eddi
Gert (Gitarre), Daniel Baumann (Bass) und Adi Spies (Schlagzeug) hat Rob
Fleming eine grandios harmonierende Band um sich versammelt, die Lust
auf mehr macht. Mit zwei Alben im Gepäck und jeder Menge bisher
unveröffentlichtem Material, darf man auf einen aufregenden Abend
gespannt sein. Wer Musik sucht, die mehr sagt als sie muss, sollte
diesen Abend nicht verpassen.

PIGEON While their self-titled 2018 debut was arguably their most playful, and the subsequent Bug EP their most uncompromising record, their recently released second LP via adagio830 clearly presents some of the Berlin band's most precise, straightforward, yet outrageously sophisticated song constructions to date. As always, it reminds me of so many outstanding genre contributors both in and out of Berlin. Examples include Negative Space, Pretty Hurts, Rank/Xerox, Diät, Public Eye, Exit Group, Nag... the list goes on forever. In other words: Top-notch shit! (onetwoxu)

SCHWUND is a Berlin based synth-punk / minimal / darkwave solo act. The music is influenced by 80´s german minimal punk, NDW, Kassettentäter music, Avantggarde Electronic, EBM and Dadaist german text. During his performances SCHWUND creates the music live with the use of analog machines, re-interpreting the songs and using his voice as an instrument. He used to be one half of the synthwave-duo DAS DAS and drummer of the Berlin punk band MASKE. Currently he is the synth-player and founder of the synth-punk / nowave band LOHN DER ANGST. SCHWUND is also founder of the Underground Cassette Label NACHSCHLAG.

Kult-Punkrocker MÄNNI startet erste Headlinertour „Die fröhliche Tour“ in 2025
Ab September 2025 geht der Punkrock-Künstler MÄNNI erstmals auf eigene Headlinertour. Passend zur letzten Veröffentlichung „Das fröhliche Album“ (Dackelton Records) wird es unter dem Motto
„Die fröhliche Tour“ neun Konzerte in ganz Deutschland geben.
Wie gewohnt mit rauer Stimme, manchmal tiefgründig, oft politisch wird hier deutschsprachiger Punkrock mit viel Melancholie und Witz geboten. Neben den alten Hits wie „Ibuprofi“, „Dreck Müll
Chaos“ oder „Krasseste Gang“ gibt es erstmals auch die neuen Songs im Rahmen einer ausgedehnten Spielzeit zu hören.
Nach mittlerweile fünf Tonträgerveröffentlichungen und zahlreichen Konzerten u.a. als Supportband für WIZO, BETONTOD oder SLIME wird das einstige Soloprojekt Live zum 4-köpfigen
Energiebündel.
Songs über die Freude am Scheitern und dem Drang alles verändern zu wollen, für alle die auch nicht
klar kommen. Kratzig, rotzig, einfühlsam.

and after 22:00 -->
Guitars that jangle and bite, basslines that march, tape-hiss romance.
A glide through the corners of indie that still feel alive — carefully dug obscurities with just enough classics to keep the floor humming. Small salute to Alfred Hilsberg and the ZickZack spirit included.

XII. Punkfilmest Berlin 20th - 26th october 2025 at Lichtblick Kino, Syndikat, Schokoladen and Cafe Lutetia - more infos from october at toodrunktowatch.de
Razor-toothed, harmony infused, delicately ferocious ska. British 5-piece Call Me Malcolm exploded onto the Ska Punk scene in 2018 with a record described by ska legends Less Than Jake as "a saving grace of the genre." Malcolm's genre blending mastery and intricate songwriting has since crafted “some of the most special, unique, ambitious music in the punk underground.” (BrooklynVegan) landing them at #8 in Ska Punk Daily’s “Albums of the Decade” and #15 in Brooklyn Vegan’s “Best Punk Albums of 2020” with consecutive releases.
2024 saw the release of 'Echoes and Ghosts', a 10-track, melodic powerhouse about identity, self, and suicide. Songwriter-in-chief Lucias describes it as “a eulogy for the parts of myself I killed with medication, and a love letter to the silhouette I became.”
Formed in early 2025, Buster Beat fuse the raw energy of punk with the groove of reggae, ska, and rocksteady to create their own gritty Berlin sound. Dirty and danceable —this is the Buster Beat.
