BE N!CE - The Destruents - Racoon Rage

BE N!CE is a London-based punk band

that has evolved into one of the most captivating live bands in the UK in just over three years—and this is just the beginning. Formed in late 2022, the four-piece band has built its reputation show by show, driven by a DIY ethos, an “anything-goes” attitude, and music that blends absurd humor with truly biting social commentary.

Their genre-spanning debut EP, “WHERE AM I?”, showcased them as a band with something to say and the charisma to make people listen. At their sold-out EP release show, Loud Women described their sound as “unbridled, spirited 21st-century punk”; ThePunkSite awarded it five stars; and RTE covered the event. The record tackles personal struggles, social injustice, and the sheer absurdity of modern life—all without ever taking itself too seriously.

BE N!CE consists of Pol Mills (vocals, they/them), Emily Harris (bass, she/her), Alex McIntosh (drums, he/him), and Brett Lee (guitar, he/him), and they have undeniable chemistry on stage.

THE DESTRUENTS are young, diverse, and loud

A high-energy punk (and) rock band from the Ruhr region that simply plays whatever they feel like, and thus happily breaks with the conventions of their own scene from time to time. With dynamic performances, these four close friends deliver a wild mix of genres with a punk attitude that always leaves a lasting impression. From hip-shaking to screaming, they’ve got it all—as long as it’s full of energy.

RACCOON RAGE blend garage punk with influences from egg punk, grunge, and psychedelic rock.

The Cologne-based band has been around since November 2023. Their lyrics aren’t just about anger and raccoons, but also cover topics like animal welfare, criticism of capitalism, journeys into other mental worlds, and a female perspective. Their EP “Dumpster Dreams” was recorded at Krank im Schädel Records and released in the summer of 2025. Their single “800 W Dave,” also produced there, is available on all major music platforms.
