SEX BEAT (BER)

Over driving drums, distorted bass lines and noisy guitars, SEX BEAT is the last snotty farewell to a generation going down the drain. A collective of ex-scensters, ex-models and veterans of the punk scene who have come together to complain: about personal miseries, political crises and the dysfunctionality of modern society. The former teenage angst has finally turned into the certainty that the life of a mid-thirtysomething is nothing but a monotonous string of disappointments.It sounds wild and raw like the very early punk classics from New York and Washington D.C., but at the same time casual and ironic like the post-hardcore of the 90s.

highcoast (HH)

highcoast is a surfrock band formed in Melbourne, stranded in Hamburg in 2016. Why would a band from northern Germany start playing sun-soaked surfrock in a city with more than 200 rain days a year and the next surfable beach being thousands of kilometres south? The reason for that lays in the fact that most of the songs were written in the world’s capital of hot surf music: Australia, during various attempts of escapism. Now highcoast is carrying the ideals of Californian and Australian surf culture with a modern approach into their own music. Featuring their diverse signature mix of laid-back sweetness and energetic-pumping roughness, highcoast prove their vision of unique hemisphere-defying surf rock has evolved into a distinct and recognisable modern-yet-oldschool sound. The successful musical interpretation of dreamy summer times, booze-fuelled beach party nights with a hearty portion of nostalgia, that carries the good vibes up on every stage. With their upcoming record „sunday cravings“, highcoast opens a new chapter in their career.

Along a more melancholic and matured sound but still familiar reckless positive messages, the 6 bittersweet songs demonstrate a brilliant evolution to the next level with a beach-ready sound. For the first time ever, the new EP will be released together with the latest record „sunnies, cones & choppy waves“ on a limited double Vinyl.
