SHTËPI: five-piece art-punk band with a chaotic live show, punk guitar riffs and noisy electronic experimentation inspired by IDLES, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds and Talking Heads. Their relentless performances involve making bird noises with a theremin and shouting into an orange trim phone. Shtepi Bandcamp, Facebook, Spotify, YouTube

ACUA: German psych pop band who recently released their latest single ‘Under The Chairs’. Their sound is the vacuum between retro and future, in which they celebrate getting lost in their very own melancholic euphoria. ACUA is spacy guitars, energizing drums, reeling synthesizers and singing baselines. ACUA Spotify, Instagram, YouTube

FUBELT: Brooding over societal discord, with an emanating sense of dread and vehement urgency, FUBELT confronts an age of unreason. Influenced by writers Albert Camus and Joan Didion, they expose the darker corners of society by melding sounds from post-punk and shoegaze. Each song thrusts a bout of restlessness, sustained by twisting structures and a biting lyrical approach that considers the fragility of the human condition.
