Kungens Män is a free rock ensemble from Stockholm, Sweden. Active since 2012, the band has released a steady stream of records on labels like Adansonia, Riot Season, Cardinal Fuzz, Majestic Mountain and on their own label Kungens Ljud & Bild. They have toured Europe and UK regularly over the years and built an enthusiastic following of music freaks and a strong reputation as a must-see live band.

The music is rooted in improvisation and drone rock with a large emphasis on instant composition, rather than traditional ”jamming”. Intertwined, chiming guitars, free jazz saxophone, punky and funky minimalistic drumming and a low end department with both bass and Moog playing off each other makes a brew that takes the music in many different directions, reminiscent of everything from seventies Miles Davis to Träd, Gräs och Stenar to Sonic Youth toCan, but still with a unique chemistry and a voice that is totally current and in the now. This is music in motion.

Expect a new, yet unnamed album in the fall of 2025. It will come with a great degree of variation and some soundscapes previously unheard in the improvised world of the adventurous Swedes.

𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐬:

"Imagine late 60’s Santana, The Velvets and Sonic Youth jamming over the drum beat of Jaki Liebezeit from Can: and yes it is as good as it sounds." - 𝙈𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝘾𝙤𝙘𝙠𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙡

”Krautrockers, assemble! Or, you know, whatever krautrockers do I assume it involves homemade spacecraft that, yes, absolutely fly. Perhaps one of these days I’ll ask Stockholm’s Kungens Män, whose latest outing for Riot Season, simply titled Chef, is an outbound delight of psych-infused progressivism.” - 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙊𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙠

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 (𝐒𝐖𝐄):

Conjuring heavy drones and sinister garage psych freak outs, Stockholm outfit The Janitors have been a formidable presence on the European underground since they formed back in 2004.

Channelling the freewheeling spirit of Hawkwind with equal smatterings of Sabbath and Spacemen 3, the band are masters of taking hold of a gnarly, fuzzed-out groove and beating it within an inch of its life. Probably not for the faint of heart, their druggy wig-outs are totally relentless and unforgiving.

For the uninitiated, perhaps we should turn to the late Hunter S. Thompson who famously wrote: “But the ticket, take the ride.. and if it occasionally gets a little heavier than what you had in mind, well... maybe chalk it up to forced consciousness expansion: Tune in, freak out, get beaten.” Those words serve as a perfectly apt instruction manual - or warning, perhaps - for entering the Janitors nightmarish world.

In May 2024 the drone machine collective from Stockholm presented their latest offering to the altar of fuzz and drone, the critically acclaimed An Error Has Occurred, released on Rocket Recording. To everyone's surprise, the album went into the UK top 100 and The Janitors did a small run of sold-out shows in the UK. The Janitors have released 7 albums and a bunch of EP’s on labels like Fuzz Club (UK), Bad Afro Records (DK), Little Cloud Records (US), Cardinal Fuzz (UK) to name a few.

Verstärker is a sound and a vision united in the quest for motorik space exploration. Comprised of sonic cosmonauts J. Gibson (bass/synth/recording), J. Norfleet (drums), and J. Vitatoe (guitar/effects/visuals), the band coalesced in 2012 as a way of exploring their mutual love of music. Honed on the sounds of krautrock, post-punk, no wave, and drone, Verstärker stand ready for lift-off into the ether.

Their debut record - Aktivität was recorded in their own Cosmere Studio throughout 2015 and released on their own imprint, SpaceLab Records. As critic Renato Malizia of The Blog That Celebrates Itself states, Aktivität is "forty-five minutes (that) lead you to hypnotic terrain, extra sensory sensations, cosmic spaces with repetitions, drones and loops in the service of the anti-song." Re-released by Tonzonen Records in 2018, the clear vinyl LP edition of Aktivität quickly sold out. It was soon followed by a second edition on transparent red. Since then, Verstärker has made numerous compilation appearances including Fuzz Club Records' Reverb Conspiracy Volume 6 and the Psych Against Cancer benefit compilation. Known for their kinetic live performances, Verstärker has shared the stage with such artists as The Telescopes, Camera, Majeure, Parlour, among others. Now signed to Fuzz Club Records, Verstärker released their latest record on Fuzz Club - 'Jenseits' to critical acclaim, in the Fall of 2023 and a special reissue of Aktivität is also in the works.-"To escape from the common space, Verstärker is the solution." -TBTCI.

Kombynat Robotron is a three-piece psychedelic/noise/kraut band from Kiel,Germany. The band was formed in 2018.

Their energetic songs are constantly evolving due to the different musicalbackgrounds of the musicians. Heavy noisy walls of sound are build on top ofrepetitive bass grooves, distant vocals emerge from a sonic landscape that liesbetween chaos and control.

“Robotronic music from the deepest subterranean realms of Hades...setting thecontrols not so much for the heart of the sun, but somewhere darker, a placewhere Thor’s mighty anvil is struck propulsively, arc-welding, showeringsounds and sparks into the firmament with ear-shredding force.” - 𝘼𝙡𝙖𝙣 𝘿𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜

The band has released six studio albums, several live LPs and Splits so far andplayed festivals such as Desertfest Berlin, Stoned From The Underground,Krach am Bach and many more.In summer 2024 Kombynat Robotron toured across the UK including a headlining slot at the legendary Kozfest and a show in London with US-Kraut/Psychrock veterans Verstärker.

BIKE's trajectory has been one of long journeys, formed in 2015 by Julito Cavalcante (guitar and vocals), Diego Xavier (guitar and vocals), Daniel Fumega (drums) and João Gouvea (bass). Since the beginning, they have been highlighted by the press and the public with the release of his first album “1943” (2015), through “Em Busca da Viagem Eterna” (2017), “Their Shamanic Majesties' Third Request” (2018) and “Quarto Templo" (2019), and now their spiritual new album "Arte Bruta" (2023).

In these years of intense performances, the band played more than 400 shows in 16 Brazilian states, including underground venue stages, Brazilian festivals such as DoSol (RN), Psicodália(SC), MorroStock (RS), Picnik (DF), Virada Cultural (SP), and in reference spaces such as Circo Voador (RJ), Cine Jóia, CCSP, MIS, Sesc Pompeia, Belenzinho, Carmo, Ipiranga and Santana (SP), in addition to shared stages with names such as tropicalistas from Os Mutantes and North Americans The Black Angels and The Brian Jonestown Massacre.

Outside Brazil, they made 4 tours with more than 90 performances in the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Scotland, Wales and festivals such as SXSW (Austin, TX), Treefort Music Fest (Boise, ID), Primavera Sound (Spain), Nox Orae (Switzerland), MIL Lisboa (Portugal) and The Great Escape (England), in addition to being the only Brazilian band to have a single released by the label 30th Century Records, from the celebrated North American producer Danger Mouse. Recently, BIKE recorded their first session at the cult and amazing radio KEXP, in Seattle.

𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐐𝐔𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐒:

(re latest album Arte Bruta)"There are also gems like Filha do Vento, composition with hypnotic lyrics and guitars that seem to come out of a Sonic Youth record. This richness of detail and delirious overlapping of elements is even more evident in the second half of the album. Inaugurated by the reductionist guitars of Além-Céu, the work advances little by little, combining acoustic arrangements, effects and birdsong that at all times reinforce the lysergy of the São Paulo quartet."- 𝐌𝐮́𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚̂𝐧𝐞𝐚

"Although psychedelia is a hallmark of the band, in Arte Bruta the musical and lyrical references go beyond the lysergic references of previous records (“O Torto Santo”) in a wave of creative explosion. The album features an Afro-Brazilian filter present throughout the work, in addition to echoes of psychedelic rock from the 60s, tropicalism and post-tropicalism from the 70s, German progressive rock and the rhythmic structures of krautrock (“Santa Cabeça”)."- 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐨 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐞"Definitive ambassadors of Brazilian musicality... creative, trance-inducing, percussive, groove-driven explosion of beautiful sound (...) new #BIKE @bikeoficial album 'Arte Bruta' sees an act that "reaches the pinnacle in their musical career thus far...embracing a more Brazilian sound" within their noted waves of #psych + beyond."- 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐞

Parastatic are three friends from the North East of England with a love for Krautrock, shoegaze and post-rock music.

Since their birth in 2010 they have sporadically released music that fuses motorik grooves with thumping synths and magical guitar sounds.

This release features the new and exciting addition of a spoken word performance from Valencia-born, Newcastle-based electronic and spoken word artist Late Girl.

It’s been 10 years since the last parastatic long player and they’re back with their best work yet on 3rd album Concrete Reborn, released by Workie Ticket Records on 21 February 2025.

This album represents an evolution of their sound into the space where post-rock, psych and shoegaze congregate.

Hailing from Leeds, UK, AMON ACID formed in 2018 to make psychedelic doom metal. It started as a bit of fun between two people, jamming at home, but after self-releasing their first EP, which received a positive response, it became a serious mission. Indeed, the core duo of Sarantis (originally from Athens) and Briony (from UK) are serious, and all it took was one listen to their debut album, Paradigm Shift - released in February 2021 by HELTER SKELTER to widespread acclaim – to convert unbelievers into fanatics, so hypnotically addicting was their sonic drug.

In 2022 they released a full-length album called Cosmogony. AMON ACID delivered a teasingly short two-single single to tide over the fanatics. Titled Demon Rider, the single includes the title track – which also hails from Cosmogony – as well as the exclusive B-side “Incredible Melting Man.” “Demon Rider” throbs with an exquisitely dark and languorous groove, drugged-out doom melting as ominously (and slowly, of course) as a black candle. “Incredible Melting Man,” despite its title, is actually a kick-out-the-jams type of ‘banger, AMON ACID sounding just as devilish and delirious at this rare up-tempo.Two songs, a total of eight minutes: AMON ACID send a succinct warning of their imminent Cosmogony!

In 2024, Amon Acid released their latest full-length album, Submerging, to critical acclaim on Black Farm Records.Submerging is a record that blends occult, hypnotic, and doom-infused grooves with Greek rhythms and gothic ambience. The album showcases the band's ability to merge diverse influences, including dub and psychedelia, into a seamless, exploratory journey.

“AUTOHAUs are a four-piece band based in Margate, on the south coast of England, influenced by the heavier end of the 1970’s German kosmische movement, and a love of neo-psychedelia, noise, and spacerock.

AUTOHAUs improvise mesmerising fractal music, layering fuzzed-out sounds and electronic drones with motorik percussion and hypnotic bass lines. Expect to lose yourself in long, improvised, instrumental songs, played loud! … a must for fans of Loop, Spacemen3, The Cosmic Dead, Ash Ra Tempel and NEU!”
