Le Désordre C'est Moi Festival

On July 19, 2025, the fifth 'le désordre, c'est moi' festival will take place in Potsdam! This year with:

мир

мир is a Screamo threepiece from Hamburg. Blending emotional punk with Black Metal and Postrock, they're screaming their pain and loss into the void for a little peace of mind.

Surreal Fatal

The music of SURREAL FATAL is, as the band name suggests, surreal and fatal at the same time. With jarring riffs and cathartic screams, they paint a gloomy, honest picture of reality based on the dreariness of their hometown of Hamburg. It is a declaration of war set to music, both politically and personally. Political slogans and spontaneous sayings that could find their place on dilapidated house walls or in the shadows of corporate façades become an outlet to hurl out anger, frustration and unbridled energy.

Jay

On their first EP Cold, Jota create an emotional world set to music. They create a twilight of oppressive brute force and quiet fragility in a dynamic web of sound that threatens to break at any second. Post-screamo from Halle since 2022.

Theilen

Theilen come from the Rhineland, just like their namesake, the anti-fascist dissident and edelweiss pirate Fritz Theilen. The four of them make heartfelt punk that is political in a refreshing way, namely free of phrases and often close to their own life experience - but without completely losing their sense of humor. Their sound ranges from catchy and melodic to fast-paced demolition, and their lyrics are directed against mackery, the police and highway churches.

I saw Daylight

I SAW DAYLIGHT stand for pathetic authenticity far removed from any mannerism, which they live out uninhibitedly both live and on record and which is palpable to all listeners.

Riot Spears

Riot Spears (grunge/noise/angry pop) are still around and they have a new album with them. After BAD in 2021 comes LUCK 3 years later and will pull the rug out from under you if you're not careful. And this album shows very well what remains when the floor is gone: between floating and falling on your face, between disorientation and aching clarity, the band moves confidently through all musical facets. The destructive 90s grunge vibe meets the hopeless and aggressive sound of the 2020s. Depression as a symptom of late capitalism, no-future was then and is back as absolutely no-future.

The playful, dreamy charm of the first album can still be found in extreme dilution: between aggressive vocals and guitars, between desperate screams and noise outbursts, between frustration and self-hatred, a comforting gentleness and vulnerability also emerges if you listen closely.

Riot Spears are not presenting a "good mood" starter set with this album. Because this album is for all those who are not heard, who are overlooked, who know what depression means, who don't "work", who so often feel out of place and can't find the words, who can't find their way in this system and this world.

This album isn't slick, it isn't trimmed for marketability, it's brutal and challenging, melancholic and abysmally hurt, angry and unforgiving, cheeky and daring. If you can handle it, you'll love it. Live you can relax and dream away or sink into the mosh pit, no pressure and no future join hands and a place beyond show and punk rock experience pedagogy is created.

Choir Boyz

Anyone who tries to categorize the CHOIR BOYS from Berlin and Leipzig, who have been active for almost 10 years, will despair. The band operates completely without regard for conventions in the overlapping areas of hardcore, noise, grind and punk. Last year's latest release, "30 Years Of Choir Boys", features 31 tracks, some only a few seconds long, which tackle the major social issues from the perspective of a young, torn generation. The internet in general and Tinder in particular, the modern left-wing scene between punk rock and work-and-travel, and the whole spectrum from self-care and self-discovery to self-destruction are thoroughly chewed up and angrily spat out again in English and German.

Grim Silence

GRIM SILENCE from Düsseldorf released their debut album First Course last year. With pissed-off hardcore, they take a clear stand against capitalism, patriarchy and prison systems - angry, political and to the point.

Calyss

Calyss is a 5-piece post-metal band from Hamburg that combines a brute, deep sound with melancholic, angry vocals. In addition to powerful, intense passages, their music is also characterized by calm, melodic and atmospheric parts.
