Tortuga

Having risen from the ashes of the highly underrated November Coming Fire, Tortuga offer a violent & moody landslide of fast-paced, aggressive post-hardcore, noise and doom. Taking influences from bands such as Breather Resist, Black Sabbath & Queens Of The Stone Age, Tortuga have a feast of riff-tastically heavy and chaotic doom-laden songs for even the most cynical listener to sink their teeth into.

Dirge

There are six bands called Dirge : 1. Dirge is a French band formed in 1994 in Paris, France. From the industrial metal genre that exploded in the first part of the 90s, the band slowly evolved toward a more atmospheric and progressive form of metal, related to post-metal bands such as Neurosis, Isis, and Cult of Luna. The original band members were Marc T. (guitars, programming) and Laurent P. (vocals, programming). In the industrial genre of bands like Godflesh and Pitchshifter, the duo's music was a hybrid of corrosive guitars, robotic hammerings, and scratching samples.

TV Buddhas

TV BUDDHAS are a threeway powerhouse from Tel Aviv, Israel, comprising of brothers Uri and Mickey Triest and Juval Haring. Their raw, intense, completely involving live show in addition to their somewhat geeky and shy demeanor, brings together the simplicity of The Ramones, the explosivness of The MC5 and the anti-rock'n'roll subject matter of The Modern Lovers. While still living in their parent's house and working at a shitty record store, The BUDDHAS realised there was nothing for them in their own country.

Throats

"Throats don’t do sing-a-longs. They don’t do melodies. They don’t do harmonies. In fact, the young quintet barely do songs. Instead they prefer to carve acidic hardcore from riffs that do both razor speed and steamroller intensity and a rhythm section that rumbles like an exploding airliner." "Hardcore really does not get any more brittle or intense right now..." Hitting the stage like a knife to the jugular, they produce a rhythmically pounding, relentless set, which sweeps you away with them.
