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, 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

“An exuberant mix of arty sophistication and pop hooks.” — Europavox

About – Press

Americana punk-rockers, The Ferocious Few, continue to prove that blue-collar music with an honest message will always have a home in the middle class. “I make music that’s true to me, I sing a message that is pure to myself, we perform a real show.” A band that blends high-paced rock ‘n roll, folk lyrics, a punk edge, and a rockabilly sensibility. They pull decades of the human experience directly into their sound and show. Francisco and The Ferocious Few started out busking and playing small bars in 2005, eventually breaking into the rock scene when they opened for Steve Miller, along with national tours opening for artists such as Cyndi Lauper, Lynyrd Skynrd, Shooter Jennings, Billy Idol, The Led Zeppelin Experience with Jason Bonham, Mumford and Sons, Moby, plus a surplus of noteworthy acts. Their rousing guitar riffs and drum kicks have caught the attention of larger stages and festivals such as Coachella, SXSW, Lightning in a Bottle, Burning Man, Noise Pop, and The Great American Music Hall.

Francisco Fernandez has also toured solo all across the USA with a stop at the Beatles 50th Anniversary concert in New York to co-host and perform at the iconic event. He is currently calling Luxembourg home with an ever-broadening reach across Europe and the US.

“The Ferocious Few craft rollicking, soulful, garagerock.” – Wired

“”Fernandez’s voice, a shellshocked croon that conveyed the sort of wideeyed fear of the almighty that the Band used to conjure 40 years ago.”” – The New York Times

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
