Halal Hardcore | EP57

With Leaving It All to Chance, Roomer don’t quite leave everything up to fate. The Berlin outfit’s debut album hums with guitar-driven heartbreak, pairing mind-splitting noise with seductive melodies. Capturing the gritty yet emotive energy of their live performances, the album welcomes in the occasional ear-candy, staying true to the raw physicality of a hazy club show all while sharpening its edges—crafted in true DIY spirit and released by Munich's Squama Recordings. Roomer is the meeting point of four distinct creative forces in the European music scene, united through long-standing friendships and years of collaboration across projects ranging from avant-garde free improv to ethereal folk and ambient electronica. Inevitably—if surprisingly late—the question arose: why not start a band? In their hands, the rock band format became a canvas for their many musical worlds to collide.https://www.instagram.com/___roomer https://roomer.bandcamp.com/album/leaving-it-all-to-chancehttps://open.spotify.com/artist/7hXtMXAZsLo6LF4qYfj2Ef?si=yktWn9_iSTGao8T5gnRclQ 

1000modsIt’s no wonder why 1000mods are considered one of Europe’s most iconic heavy rock bands worldwide. From the early-day breakthrough of stoner rock milestones Super Van Vacation (2011) and Vultures (2014) to the overdriven rock’n’roll charge of Repeated Exposure to... (2016) and the ambitious alt-rock shift of Youth of Dissent (2020), 1000mods let the power of music speak for itself with their no-frills attitude and strong DIY ethics. Transcending genre boundaries and bringing together generations of faithful fans, 1000mods stands as a unique voice of hope and empowerment for those who are lucky to cross their path.Slated for a November 2024 release on Ouga Booga and the Mighty Oug Recordings (world) and Ripple Music (US), their highly anticipated fifth album Cheat Death is set to be their heaviest record to date, delivering ten powerful sonic statements packed with metal and punk influences while still delivering a few shiver-inducing gems along the way. 1000mods are ready to trample upon the heavy rock world and take no prisoner, and you’d better be ready for it!http://ougabooga.com/collections/1000modshttps://1000mods.bandcamp.com/https://open.spotify.com/artist/7EgAHTw2PMP7a1tAEtue89https://www.youtube.com/1000modshttps://www.instagram.com/1000mods>> Btw, the show in vienna was great!! <<

Infamous for their charismatic performances, the rock act Blues Pills had a fast journey of success. They went straight from dirty, crowded bars to playing at some of Europe’s biggest festivals such as Download, Rock am Ring, Hurricane, Southside, Hellfest and Wacken. Their self-titled debut album went straight into the European charts and hit #4 in Germany and their second album Lady in Gold landed a #1. The 3rd self produced album Holy Moly! followed the success of the two previous records. Now they’re ready to push the bar even further with their 4th studio release, Birthday, as singer Elin explains, the band’s time in the studio saw the birth of more than just a record. The album is produced by Grammy nominated songwriter and producer Freddy Alexander who’s worked with artists like The Chainsmokers and the Veronicas, there’s an energy and live-feel to the new songs that bespeaks a confidence in their ability to craft new compelling sounds without tampering with the explosive formula that got them their start – a sound that’s as eclectic as it is heavy as it is fun. https://bluespills.com https://www.instagram.com/bluespills https://open.spotify.com/artist/2lmQ4CUnjmLIIfnwZdRmMY

Hailing from various backgrounds both musically and geographically, Swedish psych wonder MaidaVale have had the ability to capture audiences with their spirited energy ever since starting out on the Stockholm underground scenes a decade ago. The band combine neo-psychedelia and krautrock with influences ranging from post-punk, funkadelia and the North African blues.With acclaimed debut “Tales of the Wicked West” (2016), they quickly took on big European rock scenes and festivals. More kraut influenced sophomore album “Madness is too Pure” (2018) confirmed the band’s place in the psych rock scene with its bold and experimental take on the genre, nominating them for the Swedish music prize P3 Guld in the rock category alongside acts like Graveyard.On their forthcoming third album ‘Sun Dog’, working with producers Kalle Gustafsson Jerneholm and György Barocsai, MaidaVale paint with a larger, bolder and brighter color palette, immersing themselves more than ever into their unique take on neo-psychedelia.https://maidavaleband.com/https://www.instagram.com/maidavalebandhttps://www.facebook.com/maidavaleswehttps://maidavaleofficial.bandcamp.com/album/sun-doghttps://open.spotify.com/artist/7rsoTsWjPBw9tyPbLXJko2Cover photo: interceptor beyond

With influences from the 1960s all the way to the age of modern rock, the Austrian band GLAZED CURTAINS is keeping the spirit of rock alive. With a modern twist of the rock genre comparable to bands like Highly Suspect, Badflower and Kid Kapichi, the band really encaptures what the essence of guitar music is. Their music is not only for the old school rock listener but also for the people who are into overdriven guitar music and for those who like to have a little party. Let yourself be thrown into an experience of ordinary live energy and emotions caused by the bitter sides of life that ultimately make it worth while. GLAZED CURTAINS is not afraid of talking about honest feelings, anxiety and social issues that many people might be scared of admitting. A GLAZED CURTAINS concert is the perfect place for expressing feelings and showing love. It creates a safe atmosphere of celebrating life but also a bonding feeling of respect towards each other and welcoming every person just the way they are.

HALAL HARDCORE is a guitar-synthesizer duo consisting of Maximilian Facchin (guitar) and Tobias Klingler (monosynth, drum machine, vocals). Founded in Vienna in spring 2022, their music combines the coldness and precision of sequenced synthesizer riffs with the immediacy of a looped electric guitar. Life-affirming lyrics lead through the beat-heavy, spherically noisy compositions. https://halalhardcore.com/ https://halalhardcore.bandcamp.com/ https://www.instagram.com/halal_hardcore/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/1fa2kEFIhFttONefZX2VZe https://music.apple.com/at/artist/halal-hardcore/1724959159 Cover Photo: Julez Haze
