In the organizer's words:

The Guilt | Malmö, Sweden

("Like Roxette with knives")

Naked Rat Dance is a fearless mix of up-tempo riot grrrl punk, exquisitely stupid synthesizers and hammering guitars. This music scratches every surface - and every nerve. Dancefloor aggression management for glitter-covered and genre-flexible people.

"Playing live is our only real working witchcraft. Celebrating a live show together is magical. But we also live in a time where we all have to stay engaged - organize shows - show up, stay engaged. That's magic too."

Following the sweaty success of their 2023 cassette EP 'Note to Tape' (featuring remixes by GHLOW, ABU NEIN and 100BLUMEN) and 2025's much-loved queer anthem 'Our Feline House' - the official song of Malmö Pride 2025 - The Guilt are poised to make 2026 their loudest year yet. The upcoming album, released via Icons Creating Evil Art, features garage-gothic ballads, power-punk bangers, queer anthems and songs for "pretty normal witches".
