Tramhaus

Tramhaus is a band who flourishes in the unknown and enjoys looking for the boundaries of the common ground. With their overwhelming live energy, they will be able to turn venues into sweating crowds which will be sucked in the hypnosis of the postpunk music of the likings of bands such as Viagra Boys and Pissed Jeans. The flawless dance moves of frontman Lukas Jansen in combination with the gashing guitars and propelling drums, gives the live experience an almost frantic feeling. The band is being praised internationally for its lively and energetic live shows which can be admired throughout Europe in the coming year.

Support: Lawn Chair (Indie Punk)

For fans of: Snooper, Wombo, DEVO

For three years LAWN CHAIR has been an integral part of the German indie scene. The band has released two EPs in collaboration with producers Olaf Opal (The Notwist) and Chris Coady (Beach House, Yeah Yeah Yeahs) and played countless gigs all over Germany. A first tour in England, rousing support shows for Sleaford Mods, Primal Scream, Getdown Services and gigs at festivals such as Reeperbahn Festival and Fusion were just the latest milestones of the ambitious band.

With their long-awaited debut album YOU WANT IT! YOU GOT IT!, they’ll be taking over clubs and festivals in 2025 with their energetic live performances.
YOU WANT IT! YOU GOT IT! explores life in late capitalism, caught in the web of smartphone addiction and toxic masculinity, the desire for success and the search for inner peace—always shadowed by the inescapable imprints of one’s origins.
Led by singer and Seattle native Claudia Schlutius, the band wraps all of this into a captivating blend of post-punk echoes, uncompromising guitar riffs, pop-driven basslines, and pulsating synthesizers—expertly crafted by producer Olaf Opal. Drawing inspiration from genre-defining bands like DEVO, Broadcast, and Beck, YOU WANT IT! YOU GOT IT! is a compelling exploration of the contradictions of modern life.

Andreya Casablanca (Indie Pop/Rock)

Known as 1/2 of the garage rock duo Gurr, Andreya Casablanca has finally returned after a long break with the single “Trapped in Space”!
It is the first song from her debut album “See More Glass” which will be released on October 11th on Mansions and Millions. The song also comes with a music video by the renowned German music video director Constantin Timm.

Sometimes you need a break, you need to get away from it all, to refocus and find your own authentic voice once again. This is what Andreya Casablanca needed to do after releasing two critically acclaimed records with her band Gurr and touring the world. Refocus, try to see the world and your life from different perspectives. Maybe open different doors and look through different windows. See More Glass.

With her solo debut, Andreya Casablanca created her own world in ten songs and it marks a departure from the soundscapes she created in the past. While not shedding her more rock-oriented roots, Casablanca embraces a shift towards a more genre fluid, pop-influenced sound that manages to be at once inclusive as well as being inventive and challenging – in the very best way.

Support: Städtische Manieren

Städtische Manieren is an experimental rock band from Germany. Oscillating between brutal honesty, poetic curiosity and unfiltered joy, while constantly exploring the vast range of guitar, bass, vocal, and drum sounds. Juggling 90s alternative aesthetic and contemporary Avantgarde, mixing in some torn up disco and punk elements, they create a strangely unique, hypnotic sound and intense live shows that are buzzing with energy. Their debut album “Posterchild” will be released in October 2025.

Sean Nicholas Savage (Devotional Pop)

For fans of: Alex Cameron, Molly Nilsson, Mac DeMarco

Prolific songwriter and lush indie balladeer Sean Nicholas Savage explores warped takes on New Romantic pop with a sizable series of releases. Coming up as part of a thriving Montreal underground scene, his songwriting incorporated a plethora of influences and styles as it developed, with his different albums tying in elements of wistful sophisti-pop, breezy disco, and dabblings of folk balladry and city pop on his 2022 Mac DeMarco-produced effort, Shine. In 2024, Trilogy collected choice cuts from his early catalog, and in 2025, his next album, The Knowing embraced high-definition pop without a hint of shame.

Support: Intro to Film Theory

Rachel Taylor (Slipper) and Candelaria Saenz Valiente (Pictorial Candi) came into orbit of each other mid 2024. The loop had a strong swing that brought Sean Armstrong (also Slipper) and Tomek Pop in. From afar it looks like a warm dessert cut down the middle by a razor’s edge. A closer listen reveals the warmth as layered vocals and seasoned writing, a pulp fiction foaming loosely over a grinding punk drummer’s beat. Playing now for a fourth time ever: Intro to Film Theory

Matching Outfits (art pop, twee-pop, anti-folk)

For fans of: Cate Le Bon, Frankie Cosmos, Jeffrey Lewis

Matching Outfits are a trio of adopted Berliners whose warped, wistful take on indie pop has been compared to “a Super 8 film from the family attic”. Singer Linnea Mårtensson’s lyrics capture life’s major losses and minor inconveniences in gut-wrenching, occasionally hilarious detail, while dulcet harmonies morph into discordant freakouts and shout-along choruses. Their debut cassette ‘Band Made Out Of Sand’ caught the attention of cult radio station WFMU as well as New Jersey label Bar/None (Yo La Tengo, The Feelies), which signed the band and are releasing their Emperor X-produced sophomore album ‘Ditch Me’ on July 25th 2025. The band does not wear matching outfits, except when they do.

Eilis Frawley (spoken word/kraut/pop)

For fans of: Kat Frankie, Kae Tempest, Jenny Hval

Australian-born, Berlin-based drummer and percussionist Eilis Frawley released her debut full-length album “Fall Forward” in March 2025. In a world where political expression in pop is often either loud and angry or non-existent, there is a need for nuance; preferably in the form of strong FLINTA voices that point out current grievances with a cool head and thus initiate change. Eilis Frawley achieves this feat with razor-sharp precision, while at the same time taking a playful and experimental, subtle look at her surroundings and inviting listeners into her very personal, wonderfully intentional-sounding emotional world.

Pieuvre

Pieuvre is a trio started magically by coincidences, missing connection and a bit of luck by members of Brabrabra, the Shna, and King Kuiper.
Once Pia, Lina and Fege met, they fused their influences patching together raw-no wavey guitar, and punk-funk like rhythm session and well crafted vocal melodies.
“Hyperstretch” is their debut tape, contains six catchy post-punk hymns in three languages, playful, dance-able, very feminist and mostly quite impertinent.

Queen Quail (Indie Folk Pop, Alt Country)

For fans of: Gia Margaret, Tomberlin, Squirrel Flower

In her debut EP Narcissus, Queen Quail (Kirstin Edwards) documents a coming of age that could only happen while living far from home, across the sea, uprooted, and searching.

Written four years into her life in Berlin, Narcissus reflects the disorientation and wonder of forging identity in a foreign place. In trying to make sense of her present, Edwards reaches back to her former self, weaving in sonic snapshots of her childhood home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The result is a blend of alternative country and indie pop: guitar-driven, emotionally charged songs about trying to find footing in an ever more complicated world.

Support: Sloe Paul

Between the waking world and the realm of dreams, Sloe Paul weaves their music—softly spun, yet deeply resonant. A melange of psych-folk experimental singer/songwriter that’s as catchy as it is unconventional. Warm, narrative melodies hint at pop music from decades past, but constantly twirl into a very distinctive sound.
Live, Sloe Paul isn’t trying to knock you over. Instead, they pull you in with songs that take their time, unfolding gently. After some time off the road and the release of a double single last year, they’re back for 2025 with a new set of songs that have been patiently waiting to be heard.
The lineup includes Marius Schwingel (bass), Tim Bohner (drums), Marcus Schreiter (guitar), Marius Moses Alsleben (synths, guitar, vocals), Paul Abbrecht (piano, vocals).

Eliza Niemi ()

For fans of:

— BIO

Toronto-based artist Eliza Niemi today announced her second album, Progress Bakery, will be released March 21st, 2024 via Tin Angel Records. She also shared the album’s tender, delightfully existential lead single “Do U FM” alongside a self-directed video. “There’s a park where I grew up in Toronto that has this giant boulder in it. There’s this smooth platform on one side at the top of the rock that is cool to the touch and perfect to sit on. I used to climb up there and eat popsicles,” says Niemi of the song’s inspiration. “Years ago, the city underwent a big park revitalization project where they replaced all the wooden jungle gyms with metal and plastic ones. During this process they also moved the gigantic boulder to the other side of the park. I found this very funny and odd. It must have been so hard to do. I learned to ride a bike in that park. The feeling I get when I go there now reminds me of the smell of band class in elementary school–of spit and metal.”

The follow-up to her 2022 debut LP Staying Mellow Blows–which was longlisted for the Polaris Music Prize and earned praise and support from Exclaim!, Post-Trash, and more–Progress Bakery was recorded with Louie Short, who co-produced the album along with Niemi, Jeremy Ray and Lukas Cheung (Mother Tongues). In addition to her own work as a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist (primarily cello, as well as keys, bass, and guitar), Niemi enlisted help throughout Progress Bakery from her local community, including: drums by Evan Cartwright (Cola, Jennifer Castle, Andy Shauf); vocals by Dorothea Paas (U.S. Girls, Fucked Up); keys by Kenny Boothby (Little Kid); and percussion by Ed Squires (U.S. Girls), among others. Progress Bakery is now available for pre-order HERE. Additionally, Neimi’s own Vain Mina Records will release a limited edition cassette of the album in Canada on March 21st.

Niemi’s music is at once delicate and playful, with melodies precisely cast like stones across clear water, touching down only briefly with uncommon grace. She slip-slides through words, sounds, and images, delighting in surprise. “A few years ago I sublet an apartment during a pretty heavy time in my life, and right down the street was a spot called Progress Bakery,” she explains. “I would walk by it every day on my way to work, often get a coffee, and chew on its name all morning. I thought it was quite funny and weirdly fitting for where I was at in my life. Their sign out front is half fallen off (it says ‘gress bakery’) and their espresso is amazing–it’s like jet fuel. It embodies many juxtapositions and overall has a really warm and heartening feel.”

Across the LP, she knows to leave some questions alone and to instead let lyrical ambiguity and tension be the proof. Niemi teases out truth and meaning by asking questions. She poses two seemingly unrelated ones on standout “Do U FM,” as a rising guitar melody spiders up a scale: “What happens when your people die? Why’d they move the rock to the other side of Ulster Park?” When she admits “but I don’t know how to tell if I’m feeling it or not,” the thought surfaces through the text and is reiterated throughout the LP.

“I wanted to make an album like the bakery’s broken sign–funny, strange, warm, melancholic and hopeful, that embodied this feeling of making steady yet non-linear progress. I chose to show my process more than in my previous releases–to zoom in on little moments in my thinking about and writing of the album. Sometimes you have to dissect something to be able to understand or move through it,” she explains. Every transition, known or unknown, carries the weight of new meaning. There is a trick you can use to tell if a dough is glutinous enough: stretch it out as thin as you can without breaking it, and hold it up to the light. If you can see through it, even if it renders the world murky and uncertain, leave it alone. This is something Eliza seems to know intuitively: work gently, ask questions, and don’t always expect answers. And when you can, take a glimpse at something new, and then leave it alone.
