KRATZEN: Repetitive - motoric - stoic - reduced - the trio Kratzen, founded in Cologne in 2017, combines Krautrock and New Wave. They call it Krautwave. The character of KRATZEN arises from limitation. The band only plays the bare essentials. On January 17, 2025, the
third album "III" by the Cologne band was released - again as hand-stamped, limited edition vinyl. Like the previous album "zwei" (released in 2022), "III" was produced by Olaf Opal (Notwist, International Music, among others).

ISMOS is a fusion of post-punk and indie rock that combines profound emotions and social criticism. Their compositions combine driving rhythms with introspective lyrics, inviting listeners to explore the complexity of human experience.
