Decadence – D.004 (2024) Desinteresse : Cold Wave act from Limburg, The Netherlands. Desinteresseは Bart (ベース), Joppe (ドラムス), Sem (ボーカル/シンセ/ギター) からなるオランダのコールドウェーブアクト。2022年後半に結成されたこのバンドは 当初デュオとして音楽をリリースし, 2023年4月にデビューアルバム「Voor Altijd」, 2023年11月にEP「Ik Wil Dood Als Ik Het Vergeet」をカセットでリリース。2024年以来 Desinteresseはトリオとして活動しており, バンドはまだ登場したばかりだが 彼らはすでにGrauzoneフェスティバルに招待され, オランダ, ドイツ, ベルギーで複数のショーを行いました。彼らの最新リリースである7インチシングル「Grijze Dromen」は2024年8月にリリースされ, ヨーロッパとアメリカの音楽コミュニティの幅広い関心を集めました。 すべての音楽は 彼ら自身のレーベルDECADENCEからリリースされ, オリジナルのヴィンテージ機器を使用して 意図的な芸術的表現とアイデンティティの形として使用されています。Desinteresseのライブ・パフォーマンスは冷たく, メランコリックな雰囲気を醸し出しており, そこでは音や声が第一ではなく, 彼らのメッセージの重みを増幅させ, 彼らのサウンドを定義する非実存的で放棄された感情を強調しています。 Desinteresse is a Dutch coldwave act consisting of Bart (bass), Joppe (drums), and Sem (vocals/synth/guitar). Formed in late 2022, the band initially released music as a duo, dropping their debut album Voor Altijd in April 2023 and the EP Ik Wil Dood Als Ik Het Vergeet in November 2023, both on cassette. Since 2024, Desinteresse has operated as a trio, and though the band just appeared, they were already invited to play Grauzone festival and did multiple shows around Netherlands Germany and Belgium. Their latest release, the 7” single Grijze Dromen, came out in August 2024 and caught a wide interest of the music community in Europe and US. All music is released through their own label DECADENCE using original vintage equipment as a deliberate form of artistic expression and identity. Desinteresse’s live performances evoke a cold, melancholic atmosphere, where sounds and voice are not primary but amplify the weight of their message, emphasizing the non-existential and abandoned emotions that define their sound.

SABOTAGE (2019) Post-punk band from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada formed in 2004.

It's Eleven Records – IER - 006 (2022) L‘APPEL DU VIDE was founded autumn 2019 in Chemnitz.Gloom Punk is driven by Surf guitar leads and is accompinied by Noise-parts. „We almost thought: it could turn out well“. L‘APPEL DU VIDE from Chemnitz/Germany worked two nerve-wracking years on their Debut-EP. Now their „Abwärtsspirale“ (downward spiral) is set into motion. They describe their sound as „Dark Punk“, but that‘s just scratching the surface. The spectrum reaches from aggressive-gloomy Surf Punk („Das bin ich nicht“ / that‘s not me) to brittle, repetitive and noisy („Aufmerksamkeit“ / attention) and hymnical-melodic Post Punk („Delirium“). „Das Programm“ (the program), a bittersweet romance in times of total surveillance, is unusual calm and melancholic thanks to an 60ies-organ and background vocals from Mara. In their lyrics L‘APPEL DU VIDE use sparse words and deal with denial, failure and alienation. „Delirium“ could be a soundtrack to the global pandemic, but was written in 2019. The songs were recorded by Flatty. Refinement came from Max Herrmann/Gloven Studio Mix) and Mikey Young (Mastering).

It's Eleven Records – IER - 002 (2021) NIGHT MIASMA with members from East German Postpunk-band L‘APPEL DU VIDE plays a seldom heard mix of Dark Punk with a very melodic edge reminescent of early LA-Punkbands like Adolescents, 45 Grave or T.S.O.L.. Deep and harmonic vocals borrowed from old british or belgian Postpunkbands and a creepy Coldwave-organ build up a melancholic atmosphere. But the four songs never drift into depressing territory. Melodic guitar hooks and up-tempo drums create a positve despair. Bandcamp 試聴 https://itselevenrecords.bandcamp.com/album/night-miasma-exhausted

Dystopian post-punk based in Berlin, Germany. “Swept Out To Sea” signaling FIXED LENS first appearance on vinyl. While channeling the atmosphere of their highly acclaimed debut s/t EP, “Swept Out to Sea” centers on losing oneself in anger and rage, and the BPMs and intensity of these tracks increase accordingly. The b-side “Hideous Ecstasy” is an Orwellian cautionary tale of mob mentality, groupthink, and the ways society can quickly fall into patterns of violence. To coincide with the release of the EP, the band is debuting their first music video for the title track “Swept Out to Sea.” Percussive, distorted, and chorus-laden like its predecessor, these songs mark a more aggressive demeanor and form. These songs are more political and energetic than other contemporary post-punk fare, yet they fit seamlessly with seminal classics from which they draw much inspiration, at times reminiscent of KILLING JOKE or FRUSTRATION. 
As veterans of post-punk and hardcore bands (Totenwald, Nocturnal Scum), guitarist and singer Robert Hanna and synthesist Matthias Gaese paint an impression of a bleak and not-so-distant future from the current world in which we live. The tracks on “Swept Out to Sea” provide a portal into this potential world, one which must be questioned, and ultimately reformed before it is too late.

Reach Another System – RAS005 (2021) Nickname used by Dirk Dresselhaus. Not to be confused with his experimental music project, Schneider TM. Schneider is a Freiburg based duo that tells those everyday stories everyone has already experienced. Stories of desire and lost love, a confrontation with short-lived and powerful encounters. Their debut release Mitternacht is a two-track 7“. The name-giving A-side is about the desperate search for some love, accompanied by a distorted bassline, melancholic synths and echo-ringing church bells. The B- side culminates in howls of emotion. The perfect soundtrack for lonesome walks in restless morning hours.
