Gengahr
"Easy listening indie rock" is what Genghar call their music. And maybe they are not so wrong.

Little May
Their gentle singer-songwriter folk is, what makes Little May so special. Even before their first EP ‘Broadwalks’ was released, their first single by the same name made its way through the world wide web, putting many people around the globe under its spell. The two following songs ‘Hide’ and ‘Dust’, both mesmerizingly beautiful, prove that the three girls from Australia put a very special magic in their music and that there is still a value in being honest and vulnerable and that freedom is not just a word but can be felt by listening closely to their wonderful songs. www.littlemaymusic.com

Nothing But Thieves
The English band Nothing But Thieves have committed themselves completely to bombastic pop arrangements.

The impulsive drum sounds of their faster tracks keep the crowd dancing while their ballads with their softness almost seem to cuddle up into the ear canal and point directly to the heart of the listener. www.nbthieves.com
Oscar And The Wolf
Looking for bearded musicians with lumberjack shirts you would rather go to the United States or to Canada than to Belgium, which is more famous for its waffles and chocolates. Yet Oscar And The Wolf are not only from Belgium. Unlike other folk bands they are not afraid to add electronic Elements to their handmade music. Their debut album ‘Entity’, released last year, is a very innovative mix of folk and melancholic up-to-date indie-pop. This mixture makes them very unique in the music business, even without their beards. www.oscarandthewolf.com
Schmutzki
The three mandatory chords, sharp riffs, dirty rhythms, a snorty voice, shouting the compelling hook lines like bullets through the speakers... There is not much more needed for straight, true punk. Ant that is, what Schmutzki are. They stand for real songs, real friendship, real punk. There is this energy about them, that can't be described. You have to see, feel and hear for yourselves. www.schmutzki.de
SomeKindaWonderful

Since their enthralling debut album was released in 2014, they now present their unique mixture of music styles live on stage at the Hurricane Festival www.somekindawonderful.com
Superheld (winners of the SCHOOL JAM contest)

Their music is loud, true Rock’n’Roll, the kind that keeps you dancing and knocks you off your feet. www.superheld-band.de

The Mirror Trap
Asked for the future plans, Gary Panther Moore, singer of the Scottish band The Mirror Trap states: "… spend the rest of our days as masked bandits touring the globe stealing the souls of the young." And yes, it seems like there is no other way but to succumb to the charm of their powerful alternative rock and synthesizer sounds. Even Placebo, who are quite a great musical inspiration to the band, were convinced by their talent and took them on a European tour with them. In the United Kingdom they are already celebrated as the new voice of the young generation and they are famous for their passionate an dedicative live performances. www.facebook.com/themirrortrap
