When promoters got word of this reunion, a bomb exploded; offers from all over the world followed and so the band decided to have a go at it once more. The name V [...]
SUMMER SESSIONS Was einst als kleine Bastion für roh klingenden Garage‑Rock startete, hat sich in den vergangenen anderthalb Jahrzehnten zu einem unverzichtbaren Forum einer lebendigen, vielgestaltigen Gegenwartsmusikszene entwickelt, in dem künstlerische Kühnheit und subkulturelle Vielfalt nicht nur toleriert, sondern konsequent gefördert werden. Dieser Anspruch, sich jenseits konventioneller Musikindustrie‑Logiken zu positionieren und stattdessen kuratorisch wie ästhetisch einen offenen, experimentellen Raum zu schaffen, ist bis heute charakteristisch für das Eleven Empire‑Projekt im Rockhou [...]
REZN Chicago-based cosmic and cataclysmic quartet REZN have mined the stark monochromatic depths of underground metal and fused them with the kaleidoscopic delights of psychedelia, prog rock, and shoegaze. From their inception, the band have been fiercely independent with a fully realized aesthetic and a fervent cult following. As knowledgeable gear heads, experienced sound engineers, and seasoned DIY veterans, REZN have been able to create a body of work devoid of any sonic compromises in their speaker-rattling dirges and heady lysergic forays. Their four self-released albums—Let It Burn (201 [...]

BROTHER BUFFALO It starts as a quiet hum in the air, a vibration that slowly expands until it fills the room. This is not another polished act chasing trends. This is Brother Buffalo. Raw energy taking shape, a movement born out of passion and a belief in real music. Founded in Salzburg in 2018 by American songwriter Dave Long, Brother Buffalo began as a small circle of friends and musicians from Austria, Italy, the UK, and the United States. What started as one man’s vision has grown into a powerful collective built on groove, connection, and the fearless pursuit of authenticity. Their self-p [...]
OF MICE & MEN Few hard rock albums are as intimate as the modern output from OF MICE & MEN. While their songs pack the kind of rhythmic punch and anthemic bombast that thrills festival crowds, the confessional lyrics, and haunting melodies are the heart of what they do. Taking all creative matters into their own hands, the Southern California quartet self-produced and engineered all of the songs on Another Miracale, their astonishing ninth album. Frontman Aaron Pauley mixed and mastered the album, eschewing the hiring of a big name Producer for a more personal and intimate approach to their ar [...]
