Bandnight - Names like Burdens x Sellout Alley x Medium Green

In the organizer's words:

With raw honesty, emotional depth and an unwavering urge for expression, Names like Burdens, Sellout Alley and Medium Green bring a breath of fresh air to Leipzig's alternative music scene.

Names like Burdens from Leipzig build bridges between the dark soundscapes of 90s grunge and the torn present. Their songs are edgy anthems of a generation searching for meaning between melancholy and anger. Their shows tear into a world full of direct emotions on rugged guitar riffs and dynamic rhythms. Atmospheric, honest, cathartic - they transform pain into sound and stagnation into movement.

Sellout Alley, probably the most charming self-parody of the Leipzig and Erfurt music scene, show that self-irony and attitude are not a contradiction in terms. "Stand your ground and I guess you will make it through" - this line from their first single sums up their manifesto perfectly. Between canned beer and musical champagne rain, they celebrate social criticism, humor and a pinch of blasphemy - loud, cheeky and without a safety net. Their successes tell of tireless passion and a clear goal: to give everything, even if it pulls at the back.

Finally,Medium Green brings a new facet to the game. The five-piece, FLINTA-fronted indie rock band from Leipzig combines classic rock influences with modern indie sounds to create a sound that is both familiar and new. Their music is young, emotional and direct. With sold-out shows, festival appearances and a growing community, they prove that honest music always finds its way - especially when it is shared.

Together, these three bands show what the Leipzig scene is all about: honesty, energy and the courage to just do it. No hype, no filters - just sweat, guitar sounds and a room full of people who reflect these emotions.
