° Busdriver ° (USA) http://busdriverse.com/music
Busdriver is a rapper and producer from Los Angeles, California. He has collaborated with rappers such as Myka 9, Nocando, 2Mex and Ellay Khule. His primary producers have been Daedelus, Boom Bip, Daddy Kev, Loden, Paris Zax, Omid and Nobody. He has also worked with D-Styles on two albums.

° Ancient Mith(USA) ° http://ancientmith.bandcamp.com/
While there are plenty of anomalies in the world to ponder, one of the most striking is why a biography seems to validate ones ability to accept or like the art that is being presented.
Raised by wolves and great parents, Ancient Mith is an American, living in Denver, Co. and making music. The 2003 award winner of the 1908 Pulitzer Prize given out by Gandhi, himself. They spit a few bars and were Swayze. Has saved numerous a woman from burning dog houses and dogs from burning people houses, even though most of them were cat ladies. Chicken pot pie was his favorite food in kindergarten, which is a German word.

° Messer ° (DE) http://gruppemesser.blogspot.de/p/bandinfo.html
»Die Gruppe Messer kommt aus Münster. Das Demotape und die Single haben schon einige Wellen geschlagen. Erste Assoziationen sind Blumfeld (ganz frühe) und Fehlfarben (die erste). Manche fühlen sich durch den Gesang auch erinnert an Rio Reiser. Kann man sich bestimmt drüber streiten. Manchmal schimmert durch: die Kolossale Jugend. Aber, wie sagt man: hinten hat der Fuchs die Eier. Messer sind spröde, klirrig, rätselhaft, versplittert. Trotzdem rollt die Platte ungemein. Die Beats sind zackig, der Bass treibt kompromisslos die Herde vor sich her. Melodisch, aber vor allem tight. Die Gitarre scheint sich aber immer wieder höhnisch zu entziehen, in luftige Delay- und Geräusch-Wabereien. Und da merkt man, dass das andere Standbein Messers ganz woanders, nun ja, steht, als „nur“ im (deutschen) Post-Punk der 80er/90er: Neu! oder Can findet man hier genauso. Dunkel ist es bei Messer dennoch, Improvisation ist hier nie hippiesk, sondern immer fiebertraumhaft und monoton, da sind Expressionisten am Werk. Also: „Der Künstler möchte sein Erlebnis für den Betrachter darstellen“ (Wikipedia). Nervöse Zweifel also als Grundriss, ab und an gefüllt mit rätselhaft Fluffigem, darüber bildhafte, dunkle Texte, alles geformt zu einer ausgezeichneten Klinge. Die wahlweise in der Küchenschublade oder an Deinem Hals zu finden ist. Ich denke an Opium, die Weimarer Republik, die Surrealisten, die alles Bürgerliche vernichten wollten. Schlaflosigkeit, Ablehnung, Distanz, Sturheit, nicht mitmachen wollen. Klingt manchmal durch die Wiederholung sehr müde, dann wieder sehr wütend. Morbide Faszination an der Depression. Im Schwindel.
Messer singen über „die Wut, die mich zerfrisst, weil das Leben eine Lüge ist“. Und weil richtige, nicht inszenierte Wut heutzutage in Musik nicht mehr recht vorkommen mag, sage ich voraus: diese Band wird die Meinungen spalten. Die eine Hälfte findet es super, was die Jungs machen, die andere hat keinen blassen Schimmer, was das sein soll. Und deshalb sage ich: Bravo!«

° Radio Burroughs ° (DE) http://radioburroughs.bandcamp.com/
"The supposedly hopeless state of the world is never a sufficient reason to succumb to its contradictions. Fragility and strength are not opposed to each other, but, rather, complement each other, like the way revolt and ï¿½ possibly age related ï¿½ resignation coexist. It is in the space between revolt and resignation, fragility and strength where you will find RADIO BURROUGHS ï¿½ especially because they are fully aware of these mutually including contradictions. Far beyond the pop cultural clichés of the neverchanging hustle and bustle, hedonistic platitudes of the PoMo-indie-in-crowds, and the innumerable trends of ï¿½the sceneï¿½, they have learned over time that not necessarily noise, but rather a charming sense for understatement may emphasize profoundess. Consequentially, this learning process left its mark on music and songwriting. While technically produced sounds obviously still serve as a transmitter and coziness is still not an option, the big gesture is to be found in the little details and especially in those moments that seem to lack certainty in full awareness of the fact that what really should matters is, indeed, so simple. RADIO BURROUGHS have arrived. In the true sense of music."

° Hysterese ° (DE) http://hysteresepunk.blogspot.de/
PUNK! PUNK! PUNK! PUNK!
Noisy german punk rock with dual female/male vocals.

° Batalj ° (DE) http://batalj.bandcamp.com/
BATALJ is a Berlin-based experimental nosie/trash/mayhem-outfit from Sweden/Australia. With distorted synthesizers accompanied by frantic drum assaults, efffect-drenched guitar arrangements and shrieking vocals the three-piece creates a barely comprehensible soundscape consisting of deformed rythms, blasts, bleeps, clicks, screams, more or less controlled chaos and diverse musical damaged goods hailing from hardcore punk as well as experimental noise. The past two years the band has extensively toured Europe, played well over 100 shows and released two 7-inch splits as well as been on various compilations. A selftitled debut EP is out now on 7-inch vinyl on Et Mon Cul C'est Du Tofu? and Twintoe Records.

° Continents ° (DE) http://continentsblows.bandcamp.com/
An attempt at bridging the gaps between desperation, aggression, hope and honesty but somehow getting stuck naked somewhere in the middle of nowhere screaming your lungs out.
a soundtrack, a tragedy, a smile.

° The Blue Screen Of Death ° (DE) http://bluescreenofdeath.bandcamp.com/
The blue screen of death machen elektronisch-8bit-mäßigen Punk. Weil sie besser Computer spielen als Gitarre. Die Band wurde 2008 in Göttingen gegründet, wo ihre Mitglieder seitdem auf der Strasse angefeindet und gelegentlich auch verhauen werden, von richtigen Punkern, in deren enges Weltbild sie nicht passen. Dabei bringen sie alles mit was eine richtige Punkband ausmacht. Dreck, Lautstärke, Bewegung, Energie und eine Spur Unvorhersehbarkeit. Mal fliegen aus Versehen die Sticks weg, mal rennt der Bassist beim spielen mit dem Kopf gegen die Traversen und stürzt ins Publikum, ähnlich einem Giraffenbaby, das grade den Geburtskanal verlässt. Ihre erste richtige Platte lässt noch auf sich warten, weil irgendein Arsch den Laptop mit den fertigen Recordings geklaut hat. Solange muss mit den Konzerten vorlieb genommen werden.

° Vowels ° (DE) http://vxwxls.bandcamp.com/
vowels from dresden, eastern germany , play raging hardcore, comparable to some of the youth attack records bands, like veins , raw nerve ...
vowels are members of julith krishun, the tangled lines, vitamin x And Komissar X.

° Dirty Deep ° (F) http://www.facebook.com/dirtydeep.official
Dirty Deep ist eine One-Man-Band ganz in der Tradition des Delta Blues. Er steht für rauhen, schweren Blues, beeinflusst von Folk und Rock. Mit hausgemachter Rhythmusbase und vom vielen Spielen abgewetzter Mundharmonika und Gitarre kreiert er einen Mix aus Sonny Boy Williamson II, John Lee Hooker oder Son House. Sein Album „Back to the roots“ erschien im Oktober 2011, seitdem war er auf zahlreichen Festivals in Frankreich und Europa vertreten.
