Tough Mother the international trio, based in Berlin, gives auditory versions of unapologetic period stains left as proud branding of love lorn lust vehicles. Playing smashing power grunge into sun burned eyes as an anthem to their own delirium, Tough Mother is expressing disappointment in the world and everyone on it.

Malmequer is a Berlin-based Punk Rock trio from Brazil Brazilian friends who connect through the shared experience of living far from home, using music as an outlet to maintain sanity. They transform their lives into raw punk rock, exploring both political and personal aspects of mental health, lifestyle, and the socio-political issues that shape their worldview.

In June 2023, marcel served up a charivari of chaos and upheaval, an incoherent and bestial celebration of life.

It was good, but too broad.

While the Belgian group has not managed to produce the famous album 'de la maturité' (of maturity), they instead persist in building a bridge between the sublime and the ridiculous. A formula that seems to work, as their first album traveled as far as the specialised Belgian, Dutch, French and Italian magazines, as well as the seasoned ears of indie gurus Steve Lamacq (BBC) and Kevin Cole (KEXP).
'ô fornaiz' is their second album entirely produced and mixed by Ben Hampson (DITZ, Lambrini Girls, etc.).

Staged in its most abstract form ('basho basho basho'), concrete ('innersummer'), psychological ('spirit of eden hazard kicking ball boy') and poetic ('sulf'), fire spreads through each of the 11 songs of 'ô fornaiz'. A title that expresses both the terror and sacred awe that fire inspires in mankind, ancient as well as modern.

'ô fornaiz' was born as a dense, incoherent musical work, like the first fires tamed by earthlings, who assimilated them into an element that is both destructive and purifying.
The result here is music that can be broadly categorised as 'garage-noise-punk': the punk base is enriched with forms and sounds from classical music ('allegro barbaro'), jungle ('st glin glin'), dub ('manu militari') or psychedelia ('sulf').

The influences are wide-ranging, old, smoky, and fiery, like the hearth on which marcel has placed his cooking pot these last two years: The Ex, Nina Hagen, This Heat, Catherine Ringer, Jacques Dutronc, Blacklisters, Arno, Jesus Lizard, Can, Nico, Nino Ferrer, Kim Gordon, Amon Tobin, Swans, Béla Bartók, Kurt Weill, Yolande Moreau, Happy Mondays, and even the latest Talk Talk albums.

Melanie Baker makes music about everything that hurts and everything that feels just right. Based in Newcastle (UK), she writes with unflinching honesty — songs that sway between noisy catharsis and quiet confession, between absurd humour and deep vulnerability. With pounding drums, fuzzy guitars, and tender lyrical precision, Baker reclaims the grit and spirit of ’90s alt-rock through a queer, modern lens.

Her world is a blend of chaos and compassion, where anxiety, anger, love and laughter coexist in equal measure. She builds her songs like comic-book panels of emotional truth: hearts pumping out of chests, steam whistling from collars, cartoon melancholy meeting genuine tenderness. Her music invites the listener to cry, laugh, and scream along — sometimes all at once. 

Much of this universe — on stage, on the road, and at home — is seen through the lens of photographer and partner Ellen Dixon, who documents their life together in intimate, analog snapshots. The result is an ongoing portrait of a queer artist coming of age in the north of England: a scrapbook of van rides, small venues, backstage nerves, and private joy.
 
Live, Baker’s performances blur the line between theatre and therapy. Alongside drummer Adam Robson and multi-instrumentalist Jon Evans, she cracks jokes mid-breakdown, turns self-deprecation into community, and transforms unease into something radiant. What begins as personal confession often erupts into a roomful of strangers yelling the same truth at once.

Her work has been championed across BBC Radio 1, 2, and 6 Music, and her song “Double Decker Death Machine” featured on BBC TV’s Waterloo Road. But acclaim has never been the point. Baker’s art thrives in the messy, glorious space between pain and play — finding humour in heartbreak and hope in absurdity. 
Melanie Baker doesn’t hide from the chaos of feeling; she invites it in, hands it a microphone, and makes it sing.

PLAKA is an instrumental trio from Porto consisting of Jorge "Cientista" Carvalho on drums, Luis Masquete on bass and Márcio Góis on guitar.

„Stupid Punk“ Tour - Fall 2026

Presented by Frontstage Magazine, Festivalstalker, Tough Magazine, sBäm & Spider Promotion

Stupid Punks auf Stupid Tour!?

CF98 gehen auf Tour, um ihr brandneues Album „Stupid Punk“ zu feiern, und ja, es ist genauso laut und verrückt, wie es klingt. Freut euch auf schnelle Riffs, schweißtreibende Mitsing-Songs, mitreißende Momente und mindestens ein Bandmitglied, welches „Das war nicht nur eine Phase!“ schreit. Diese Tour ist im Grunde eine Gruppentherapiesitzung für alle, die immer noch glauben, dass Pop-Punk 2007 ihr Leben gerettet hat. Schnappt euch ein Ticket, zieht die alten Chucks an, verliert eure Stimme und kommt vorbei, um mit uns Stupid Punk zu sein! 

Du magst eingängige Refrains? Schnelle Drums? Texte, die „Mir geht es gut“ schreien, obwohl es einem offensichtlich nicht gut geht? CF98 ist die Pop-Punk-Band, die sich dein emotionales Ich aus dem Jahr 2005 auf den Arm tätowiert hat – und zu der dein Ich aus dem Jahr 2025 immer noch moshen kann, ohne sich die Hüfte zu brechen. Schnelle Riffs, kraftvolle Hooks und lebendige Emotionen. Mit einer Sängerin, deren Stimme sich durch hochoktanige Gitarren schneidet, bringt CF98 rohe Energie und unverfälschte Leidenschaft auf jede Bühne. NOFX meets Paramore - mit einem europäischen Touch und unbestreitbarem Bühnencharisma.

Auftretende Nebenwirkungen beim Konsum von CF98 sind nicht zu vermeiden:

Plötzlicher Drang zu Skaten

Beflügelndes Chaos

Rebellisches Tanzen in deiner Küche

Deine(n) Ex anrufen (tu es nicht)

Ohne Ironie zu sagen: „Ich vermisse die Warped Tour“

Musik für Leute, die noch MP3-Player benutzen würden. CF98 ist die Band, von der du nicht wusstest, dass du sie brauchst. Sie haben sich auf vielen Bühnen in Japan und Europa bewährt, Hunderte von schweißtreibenden Clubshows gespielt und auf zahlreichen fantastischen europäischen Festivals wie Brakrock n Belgium, Punk Rock Holiday in Slowenien, vielen deutschen Festivals (See-Pogo, Fallig, Free&Easy), dem größten polnischen Festival Poland Rock und Mystic Festival, dem französischen Xtreme Fest, Mighty Sounds in Tschechien und vielen anderen gespielt. 

CF98 stehen beim österreichischen Label Sbam und dem US-amerikanischen Label Double Helix unter Vertrag.

Im Croptop mit Rockbock - Das Berliner Garage/Punk Two-Piece treibgut besteht aus Sänger*in Nils Svenja Thomas und Drummer Phil Nosko. Klanglich bewegt sich das Duo irgendwo zwischen den frühen Placebo Alben und dem jüngsten Revival des queeren DIY-Punks. Energetische Punk-Elemente verschmelzen mit selbstzerstörerischen Grunge-Anleihen und düsteren, träumerischen Texten, die eine Vorliebe für das Surreale und das Absurde haben. Rums-Bums Musik vom Feinsten - Chaos, Schweiß und Tinnitus bis zum nächsten Morgen vorprogrammiert.

Ü16, Rollstuhlrampe vorhanden, Barrierefreie Toilette über den Hof

OAKFARM is like an old hidden vinyl from the 70's you've never heard of, lying untouched in an abandoned log cabin. When you put it on, sparks of live energy fly and the deep resonance of heavy rock raises the roof. Who are Oakfarm? These are Tobias Lemberger (guitar, vocals) from "Sons and Preachers", Dennis Oelze (drums) and Arne Döpper (bass) from "Bone Man".

Two Wheels Move the Soul — the sophomore LP from the mercurial quartet Robber Robber — collects a series of pressurized vignettes to assemble a thrillingly explosive statement. Written and recorded following the demolition of founding members Nina Cates and Zack James’ longtime home, Two Wheels Move the Soul captures the chaos of living at the mercy of powers-that-be. Propelled by Cates’ nonchalant bars — inspired by the effortlessly cool cadence of Gucci Mane and Lou Reed — Two Wheels Move the Soul spans post-punk scorchers, burnt-out slacker anthems, and melodies that sweeten every bitter pill stomached along the way.

Following the acclaim of their debut — Pitchfork “Best Rock Albums of 2024”, Paste “Best Debut Albums of of 2024”, Stereogum “2024 Best New Artists” — Two Wheels Move the Soul works through the discomfort of class, upheaval, and inevitable catastrophe, as only Robber Robber could.
