ODD COUPLE

Berlin

Odd Couple throw Kraut, Garage, Space and neo-NDW into the blender, hit chaos mode, and serve their own crooked version of rock. Words twist until they’re both nonsense and revelation, like late-night small talk on a bus that suddenly slips into philosophy. Music that smirks while it bleeds. Orbit travelling through absurdity and quiet despair, it dares you to hum in the shower, whisper secrets to your plants, or juggle your own shadows.

For fans of:

Ty Segall, KGATLW, O Sees

THE DHARMA CHAIN

Byron Bay, Australia

Where neo psych ghosts drift through a shoegaze fog, weaving haunting walls of sound. Guitars shift from airy shimmer to shadowy depths, vocals swim in reverb, and synths cut through. From Byron Bay to Berlin, where they’re now based, they’ve evolved from upbeat ’60s garage rock to darker, hypnotic vibes.

For fans of:

Ghostwoman, A Place To Bury Strangers, The Underground Youth

GREEN MILK FROM THE PLANET ORANGE

Tokyo, Japan

Interstellar jams where prog meets punk on a distant planet. Long, unfolding movements drift from quiet, atmospheric passages to explosive, high-energy eruptions. On stage, improvisation rules — twists and turns are law, every performance evolves in the moment. They follow a DIY path, embracing artistic freedom and refusing constraints.

For fans of:

Boris, The Mars Volta, Gong

MADHOUSE EXPRESS

Prague, Czechia

Two figures cross the crystal desert, light scattering like diamonds across jagged dunes. “Do you hear the colors bending?” “They bend because we’re already inside them,” the other replies, voice drifting away. The air hums. Neo psych space rock tangled in sixties grooves, raw and electric. It drifts between clarity and haze.

Or maybe we’re the ones bending.

For fans of:

The Black Angels, Pink Floyd, Kikagaku Moyo

CADÛ

Vienna, Austria

Hyenas howl beneath a velvet night sky, pulling the ritual into motion. Dense, hypnotic guitar textures flow through crushing riffs and melodic, trance-like passages. Improvised jams unfold, loose, loud, and alive. Vocals swing from fragile whispers to expressive moans and maniacal laughter. On stage, theatrical flair, power, and provocative allure pull the audience deep into the spell.

For fans of:

Elder, Gaye Su Akyol, Kadaver

OVER-GAIN OPTIMAL DEATH

Los Angeles, USA

Acid Punk Nihilism meets fuzzed Hendrix riffs on overload, a heavy, distorted hypnosis — chaotic brilliance, grinning and smashing with fearless abandon. Their latest album was released on Riot Season Records.

For fans of:

Acid Mothers Temple, Brainbombs, The Stooges

GLUT

Vienna, Austria

With only a handful of songs released, GLUT move between sunlit freedom, punk-fuelled bursts, and dark, introspective melodies, with themes of empowerment, reflection, and resistance pulsing through their sound. From CIRCLES’ endless summer with psychedelic shimmer to SCREECH’s raw grunge energy and HEXEN’s shadowy, emotional depths.

For fans of:

Die Spitz, Savages, HotWax

CAVE CLUB

Vienna, Austria

From fragile whispers to eruptive grooves, their jams flare like fire in the dark, twisting and building until they erupt in a primal, savage roar. Freely improvised and drawn from ancient poems and the state of the world, their sound flows between hypnotic passages and surging intensity. Rough vitality runs through it, while echoes spiral into noise before dissolving into silence.

For fans of:

The Doors, MC5, All Them Witches

DAS NEUE LEBEN

Vienna

A coin clatters into the jukebox. Smoke curls through the dim light. The music warps, as if replaying a life you’ve already lived. Or one you’re trying to escape. Gritty grunge riffs spill through the speakers, colliding with harsh noise-rock. Songs swing between fragile melancholy and sudden chaos, as if a soft whisper could erupt into a primal scream. This December, DAS NEUE LEBEN will drop their debut demo tape with three tracks.

For fans of:

Sonic Youth, Ton Steine Scherben, Smashing Pumpkins

PORTIA

Vienna, Austria

Open the gates to a voyage where guitar and sitar blend into rhythmic drumming. A dance of loops and layers spiraling into a cosmic ocean.
As the weight of the world melts away, each sound becomes a swirl in a vast sea of dreams, guiding you into otherworldly realms.

For fans of:

Earth, Kikagaku Moyo, OM
