Marie Chante Quelle Elle Telephone

Screamo/post-rock band from Minsk, Belarus. MCQET recorded first demo in September 2009 and in summer 2010 released their debut self-titled full-lenght. Magic instrumental sections with extremely emotional vocals and deeply pathetical lyrics. Live perfomances just blow your mind away.
Intrigue, anger, catharsis, tragedy, melodrama, farce, shapito and you — all this in the first studio album Marie Chante Quelle Elle Telephone.
A must-have!

Stuck Out Here

Funny indie pop-punk band from Clinton/Bayfield, Ontario. These songs are about the summer nights, and the terrible mornings after. It’s about the sober autumns after the summer has come a gone and we realize we just wasted 4 months of our lives. It’s about paying homage to those nights, those friends, those bars, those shows and understanding it is time to start moving forward.

2011 - Last Night, This Morning

Brat Pack

Hailing from the eastern part of The Netherlands comes a band that you would expect from the western and sunny side of California. Influences vary from the melodic sounds of Nofx (take note off the melodic guitar intros), Bad Religion, No Use For A Name but with a harder edge than any of these bands using influences of hardcore bands such as RKL, Stalag 13, 7 seconds en old New York and DC hardcore bands like Minor Threat and Urban Waste.
A must-have!
