About – Press

Between energetic live shows and cinematic videos, psych-pop TUYS craft an exuberant mix of artistic sophistication and pop hooks. They create driving art rock and emotive psych pop music with chiming guitars, synths, and wide-ranging vocals. Their music is accompanied by visual storytelling that explores metafiction and aesthetic satire. The now berlin-based band have toured throughout Europe, playing festivals including MS Dockville, Reeperbahn Festival, FOCUS Wales, and The Great Escape and have supported The 1975, Everything Everything, The Kooks, and Thirty Seconds To Mars. Following their series “A Curtain Call For Dreamers” in 2020 and their appearance in the digital version of Eurosonic 2021 & 2022, TUYS announced their cooperation with three new partners on the live side: Echelon Talent Agency (UK), Friendly Fire and Intersection (Netherlands and Belgium). TUYS are set to tour in the Fall 2022 and spent the summer at Ghost City Recording Studios to record their upcoming album.

“TUYS are quietly making waves across Europe.” – CLASH

About – Press

Born out of a bedroom, the project Francis of Delirium was created by solo artist Jana Bahrich (Vancouver, CA) who later invited drummer/producer, Chris Hewett (Seattle, USA) to form an indie rock band, based in Luxembourg. Uniquely synthesizing grunge and folk to create an evocative and vulnerable experience, Francis of Delirium gently guides the listener to look inward; allowing for a space that encourages growth. Francis of Delirium delivers a powerful indie rock sound that supports Jana’s high energy vocals and her genuine passion to connect with each member of the audience. With support from the likes of the BBC, KEXP, Pitchfork, Line Of Best Fit and NPR, Francis of Delirium released their third EP ‘The Funhouse’ in April 2022 on UK-label, Dalliance Records.

Nominated for the 2022 Music Moves Europe Talent Awards

“Feels like the blueprint for something grand.” – Pitchfork, 7.4 EP Review

“There’s a bit of Pixies and Snail Mail and the Beths in there, and maybe some Lomelda and Lucy Dacus and Built To Spill. You know, that really f*cking good shit.” – Stereogum

“If (upcoming EP Wading) sounds anything like their newest single ‘Let It All Go’, we’re in for something very good.” The Fader

“Unfurls with an energy on the brink of self-detonation… a steamy, cathartic breakup song drawing on classic indie rock and emo.”Paste

About – Press

Risen from the ashes of early 2000s metal and rock influences, Maz absorbs melancholy and sends back hope with a flow and technical skills that never fail to “maz’merize”. His brutal honesty aims to spark a raw confrontation with life. The young rapper is known for delivering a powerful and truthful message to his audience, determined as he is to not simply scratch the surface but to tear through it and see what lies underneath. His music is a call to drop the self-imposed masks and to find one’s true self.

“The fresh face of Europe’s rap future”Europavox Festival

“Maz is one of the brightest new talents from a forward-thinking country…”Line of Best Fit
