2015 – "DUMMY TOYS" appeared in Northeastern China’s dusty, noisy, and chaotic world, playing fast and violent raw punk without hesitation. Nothing is gentle or pleasant. Nobody is smiling or cute. Their shows are wild beyond YOUR imagination.
DUMMY TOYS draw their influences from classic American street-punk bands like A Global Threat,
Monster Squad, and Cheap Sex while proudly acknowledging their Japanese punk neighbors and the early all-female acts on Sister/Benten Records. Spawned in China, where punk became cemented as an unstoppable musical force by bands like Demerit, Strike Back, Gum Bleed, and Hell City, they push the sound and stylistic approach to the limit. And, just like their spiritual influences, the first all-girl Chinese punk band Hang on the Box, DUMMY TOYS are proving they're not only as good as the boys but better!
DUMMY TOYS quickly made their presence felt in their home, the coastal city of Qingdao, becoming a must-see act at the city's local punk bar, DMC. With the release of their debut album "Not A Puppet" in 2020, they became a rising gale tearing across China's punk scene and performing at major festivals nationwide. By 2023, DUMMY TOYS’ sound had developed into an increasingly ominous and thrashy hardcore, culminating in their sophomore release “War Is Nightmare,” which they supported with a series of furious tours in 2023 and 2024 across Europe and performances at the UK’s Rebellion Fest.
Now, already confirmed for another European and South-East-Asia tour in February and March 2025, DUMMY TOYS’ winds have risen to hurricane force and show no sign of letting up. With their mohawks charged and their eyes set on the world, these girls are coming for you!

Bizeps hat sich seit ihrer Gründung mit einigen Shows in der Region einen Namen gemacht.
Ihr selbst aufgenommenes Album wurde im August 2024 digital auf allen PlaJormen veröffentlicht. Der Sound der Band zeichnet sich durch eine lebendige Dynamik und unvorhersehbare Wendungen aus. OPmals geht es laut und rockig zur Sache, doch es gibt auch Momente, in denen man denkt, ein ruhiges Stück könnte folgen – nur um dann wieder in psychedelischem Krach zu enden.
Eine absolute Empfehlung für gelungenes Live-Entertainment, wenn man sich nicht unbedingt während der Darbietung mit jemandem unterhalten will. Das ist bei Bizeps eher schwierig.

„Elemente aus Stoner-, Math- und Postrock ergeben ein vielfältiges und nie langweiliges Soundgefüge.“
So beschreibt Fabienne Steinmayr in der Rubrik „Vormerken!“ auf visions.de die Musik der vierköpfigen instrumentalen Rockband STROMKASTEN aus Köln. Gegründet im Jahr 2012 und stets dem Hang zur instrumentalen Musik verpflichtet, spielen die vier Musiker aus Köln und Umgebung, Luxemburg und Italien nach diversen personellen Umbrüchen seit 2016 in der aktuellen Besetzung. Beeinflusst durch zahllose Bands, die sich quer durch alle Genres von Punkrock über Singer-Songwriter bis hin zu Emo, Stoner- und Postrock ziehen, liegt der musikalische Fokus der Band auf ab und an vertrackten, sich abwechselnden und teils atmosphärisch-melodiösen Gitarrenriffs, in Kombination mit treibendem Bass und Schlagzeug. Dem Einsatz von zahlreichen Gitarreneffekten werden bisweilen diverse Sprachsamples untergemischt.
Die erste EP „Landmark“ ist im Proberaum aufgenommen und im März 2017 veröffentlicht worden. Es folgte die zweite EP „layers and patterns“, die ebenfalls im Proberaum in Eigenregie produziert wurde. Anschließend haben STROMKASTEN ihr erstes Album „Digital Na[t]ive“ bei Bastian Lindenau (Shipwrecks) aufgenommen und im September 2020 sowohl digital als auch auf Vinyl veröffentlicht. Für das zweite Studio Album „être en vie“ arbeitete die Band erneut mit Bastian Lindenau zusammen. Die zweite LP erschien im September 2023 digital und als Vinyl. Das nächste Album ist bereits in Planung. Live teilten sich STROMKASTEN die Bühne mit Bands wie Toundra, Big Business, Yawning Man, Mutiny on the Bounty, Noorvik, We´ve got muscles, Plainride und anderen.

With ORTHODOXY OF NEW RADICALISM, THE OFFENDERS start where they left off with the previous album CLASS OF NATIONS: this time folk elements blend with punk-rock and combat attitude, maybe the “loudest album we ever recorded” as the band itself have stated.
By now, it is mandoline and bouzouki that shape THE OFFENDERS’ sound, as well as well known combat punk guitar riffs and ska elements.
Social criticism and masses exploitation sang in “Tales from my neighborhood” and “To have not” where irish bouzouki meets uptempo punk-rock, the never lost hope for equalitarism and justice of the anthem “The Messenger”, the story of Simeon Cuba Saribia and his last fight side by side of Guevara in the combat “Hasta la muerte”, the list of heroes known and unknown who fought for justice and freedom the antifascist “hall of fame” and for their first time ever narrating the cry for help of all the victims of abuses in Invisible.
ORTHODOY OF NEW RADICALISM is a contemporary portrait of our society : fluid, brave and fearless as well as cruel and hopeless. A look back to move forward, chords, hammer ons and choruses here to stay in your ears and hearts!
THE OFFENDERS started back in 2005 in Cosenza (Italy) and relocated in Berlin by the end of 2008. Starting as a 2-tone ska band, then developing their own sound blending punk-rock, off-beat with touch of irish folk bringing elements as mandoline or bouzouki, THE OFFENDERS have built a solid fan base during the years, playing shows and festivals all over Europe, including two tours in Russia and one in China.
Their first single “Hooligan Reggae” became a 2-tone dancefloor anthem and underground hit while their last single “Marchez” is close to a million streams on Spotify (as of November 2022) . Offenders will release their 9th full lenght ORTHODOXY OF NEW RADICALISM in spring 2023 on Long Beach Records, some of their previous albums were released and repressed by Destiny Records and Mad Butcher. The band has always supported antifascist and antiracist groups all over Europe and abroad, playing at parades and benefits aswell as known festivals as Rebellion (UK), Mighty Sounds (CZ), Ruhrpott Rodeo (DE), Zickenstock (FR), Los Almiros (GR), Sjock (BE), This is Ska (DE), Rude Boys Unity (CH) and more.
