ITCHES

CARAPUNK

Hailing from the slums of Los Kempos near the city of Antwerp, the garage-punk trio emerged from a cryogenic insomnia in 2020 to bless the world with their enormous punch. This manifests itself in a perfect mix of wild garage, sixties freakbeat, primal punk and heavyweight jangle! The characteristic sound, tight live performances and their infectious energy have earned the ITCHES the reputation of being the "best kept secret" of the Belgian underground scene - and this is now being revealed!

The latest album is a lovesick, fuzz-soaked joyride through the grimy backstreets of Garageland. What began as a minor obsession with obscure 1960s music has become a full-blown fixation. The band pays homage to the grandfathers of the era-defining genre and the countless bands of the time that never made it big. HOUSE ANIMAL INCLUDED combines Kinks-esque fuzz riffs, harmonic surfedelica à la Byrds, spaghetti western whistling and gritty back-from-the-grave garage punk shredding. The pop structures of the 1960s are twisted into the daring and refreshing ITCHES sound:

poppy, punky and raw - garage in its purest form, homemade and rough around the edges. So,

climb into the back seat and take the fast-paced ride...

Yeast Machine

Psychedelic Grunge 'n' Sleazy Fuzz Rock

Silence. Tension. Sensation:

REM sleep on caffeine. Dream away, then open your eyes. Born in 1990s grunge, raised in heavy stoner and fuzz, YEAST MACHINE are blazing a trail that doesn't yet exist. Organic, raw, drop-fanatic and for all those who have always wanted to listen to yeast rising. With vocals that echo with the spirit of Jim Morrison. And guitars that threaten to crush you from all sides.

The Tübingen-based band have been creating their own raw sound since 2021: two guitars and bass, psychedelic, atmospheric downtempo parts and raw, varied vocals are characteristic of the band. After intensive songwriting, the debut EP Behind The Dead End was released in the form of a studio live session. YEAST MACHINE started live in 2022, established themselves in the local scene and played their first festivals. The EP RISE OF THE YEAST followed in 2023, including a promotional tour through Germany, Switzerland and Austria. They performed on stage with scene greats such as 24/7 DIVA HEAVEN, UFOMAMMUT and BLACK TAMPONXX.

In 2024, YEAST MACHINE released their debut album Sleaze on the Krefeld alternative rock label "Tonzonen": rawness without click tracks - recorded live, the album sometimes allows itself a tempo increase, sometimes sleaziness. The content is somewhere between melancholy, transience and madness. After last year's presentation, the band is now back on the road; hopefully with the new album - the first songs have already been released and LIVE you will be able to hear more BAD MILK...

IN CONCERT embraces you with the sound of the sun as it rises in the evening, blasting fat riffs from three bodies of sound into your neck, squeezing you through the gears of the beat gearbox and pulling you out of the microphone into the universe. The 1970s in the 1990s, the 1990s in the 21st century. The sound that your parents always wanted and that you are now getting in front of you...
