SOASTASPHRENAS
soastasphrenas are an emo-violence/screamo band from Berlin. The four-person band was formed in early 2022 and consists of members from Cyprus and the USA: Mark, Chris, Alex and Nate. Σώας τας φρένας (soas tas phrenas) is an old Greek phrase from the 18th century that generally describes someone being “of sound mind” – or mentally healthy. The trio is known for their energetic performances. They have opened shows for some larger bands they are friends with, such as Jeromes Dream, Nuvolascura, Chalk Hands, Tenue, Massa Nera, World Peace and Frail Body.
SOLACE.
The three-part «trøst» EP picks up the listener where the debut album «i’ll be fine» left you broken. Still waiting for the day when you will feel comfortable in your own skin. «trøst» is about letting go, about accepting who you are right now. About holding on to beautiful moments that get you through the day, no matter how dark everything seems. Just to find your own peace at some point.Lichter Wald
Lichter Wald is an emo, post-hardcore, post black band from Winterthur.
In terms of content, their lyrics reflect an anti-racist, anti-fascist, anarchoqueer-feminist attitude. In music they find a place to express their emotions.
