Town Portal (dk), Riot Spears, OK WAIT Punkrock, Metal & Hardcore

Copenhagen trio, Town Portal, have spent more than a decade carving out a niche within the realm of instrumental rock music. Fusing angular polymeters with jazzy playfulness and melodic sensibilities of 90's noise rock and post-hardcore, their songs unfold as continuous struggles between dissonance and harmony, chaos and groove. They're touring with new Album 'Grindwork' (Dream Bureau).

Grunge doesn't need a revival, because this mangy, totally rebellious sound has reappeared in every era since Kurt Cobain's death. Mostly, however, it's bloodless, derivative, or annoyingly testosterone-fueled. With Riot Spears' grunge punk from Berlin, on the other hand, the classic finally regains its dignity and flannel-clad glamour. Latest album 'Luck' (Nov 2024).

OK WAIT, a Hamburg-based trio, is an experimental, heavy instrumental band that creates a unique blend of music that defies genre boundaries. Latest and highly cheered album 'Signal' (Golden Antenna Records).
