1982 (DE)Punkrock Zeitmaschine
1982 haben eine Mission: Sie retten den Deutschpunk! Sie spielen die Hits der ersten deutschen Punkrockgeneration unzensiert und musikalisch authentischer als die Polizei erlaubt: Slime, Canal Terror, Toxoplasma, Chaos Z, Razzia und alles andere - und zwar so wie damals.
Dabei versetzen sie die Besucher in die Zeit zurück, als Punk in der BRD noch gefährlich, aufregend und unberechenbar war. 1982 sind eine Zeitmaschine, die Pogo-Orgien auslöst und immer funktioniert.
Das haben sie bereits auf unzähligen Konzerten in ganz Deutschland und sogar Frankreich bewiesen, unter anderem beim Punk im Pott 2010, beim Force Attack 2003, Punx Picnic 2001 oder als Headliner beim Au-Fest 2008 und vielen anderen Festivals.
1982 besteht aus drei Generationen Punx, die ihre gemeinsamen Roots abfeiern. Drummer Dominik S. war Gitarrist bei Canal Terror. Klassiker wie "Staatsfeind", "Zu Spät", "Multis" etc. stammen aus seiner Feder.
Sonstige Bands, in denen die 1982er aktiv sind oder waren, sind Molotow Soda, F*cking Angry, Canal Terror, Alien Fight Club, Wild Gift, The Puke, Estrella Negra, The Gee Strings, Back Chats, F.F.F. etc.
Alter Punk mit jugendlicher Hingabe! 1982 ist heute und besser!
Reviews
"Solltest du die Möglichkeit haben, dir die 5 mal live anzugucken, solltest du diese Gelegenheit auf keinen Fall verpassen, da ihre Coverversionen den Originalen sehr, sehr nahe kommen und jeder Gig einer famosen Party gleicht.
- Human Parasit Fanzine, Live review
"1982 waren dann die perfekte Wahl für den Abend! Eine fitte Coverband, die sich frühen deutschen Punkklassikern widmete. Die Stücke wurden völlig authentisch gezockt, wild, frisch, voller Wut. Geiler auf jeden Fall als die Schunkelversionen, die z.B. RUBBERSLIME aus den alten SLIME-Songs gemacht haben! Es wurde ein Klassiker nach dem anderen rausgerotzt. Vielen Leuten stand bei jedem Wiedererkennen die Freude ins Gesicht geschrieben und spätestens nach drei Stücken bebte der Boden… In den Pausen wurden 1982 ständig Bandnamen entgegen gebrüllt - VORKRIEGSJUGEND! SCHLEIM KEIM! TOXOPLASMA! Und das geilste war, dass fast alle "Wünsche" erfüllt wurden! Besonders hab ich mich über NEUROTIC ARSEHOLES gefreut, geil war auch "Wir sind die Ratten", "Computerstaat" oder die ganzen SLIME-Songs ("A.C.A.B.", "Etikette tötet", "Yankees raus!", "Alptraum", "Zu kalt", "Gerechtigkeit" und als Abschluss na logen "Deutschland"). Zeitlos geil, mit Feuereifer von der Band runtergehämmert - und eben einfach alles Stücke, mit denen nun wirklich fast jede/r vertraut war. Heiser, durchgeschwitzt und glücklich war ich danach!"

"1982 waren richtig gut und sie coverten einen Deutschpunkklassiker nach dem anderen. Sehr gefreut hatten wir uns auf Pogo in der Straßenbahn. Richtig gute Band, die kamen total gut an."

Blues / Punk Rock
“A mixture of MC5 and Leadbelly, the Stooges meet T-Bone Walker. It’s primal, it’s fast, it’s vicious. A must see” – The Last Stop Sounds
Dead Raze is a new two-piece punk/blues outfit based in Liverpool. Fronted by Irish rambler Matthew Cawe and features Ollie Fontaine on drums. The band takes influence from swamp blues and old school punk rock, playing slide guitar through a mudslide of distortion.
Dead Raze have already recorded an album in Iceland, gigged in the UK, Czech Republic and Germany. Expect foot stomping, pulse raising, high energy rock'n'roll.

Reviews
“Villy Raze is a must see and especially as he’s unveiling his newest project the aptly named Dead Raze. Its still embryonic but the songs and the style are there and Villy feels confident enough to take them to the stage at the Black Cat Bar and Bottle Shop. What we get is an amped and psyched up garage blues. A mixture of MC5 and Leadbelly, the Stooges meets T-Bone Walker. Its primal, it’s fast, it’s vicious and the duo make short shrift of their set and keep the attention of the audience throughout.”

THE DIZZY BRAINS (MG)
Garage / Punk Rock
The Dizzy Brains are a garage rock band, inspired by The Sonics, as there are many around the world, except for Madagascar, one of the poorest and most corrupt countries in the world and the birthplace of the quartet. Founded by two brothers, Eddy on vocals and Mahefa on bass, the group fights injustice, lack of possibilities and freedom restriction in the everyday life of the islanders.
Their influences come from bands from their fathers’ generation (The Kings, The Stooges, The Vines etc.). That’s where they found their love for unbridled rock’n’roll (choosing Little Richard over Presley), garage style and psyched atmosphere. They even covered Jacques Dutronc’s "Les Cactus" in a version full of thorns. And it’s more than music. They are sharing a piece of themselves including their bravery and vulnerability.
They are the face of the opposition in their country, Madagascar’s youth trying to survive while going against the political system. This is their passion for life that shines off during their concerts.
The Dizzy Brains are regular guests in French TV and have toured in Germany, the Netherlands, France, the UK, South Korea etc. In 2019, they will bring their brand new second album "Tany Razana" to Europe, like the first one published by the French label X-Ray Production.
Reviews
"Garage rock by its nature is simple to play – its the entry point for nearly every guitar mangler on the planet and consequently can be a hit or miss afafair but when it is played with this much fire, intensity and imagination it can sound like one of the most thrilling types of music on the planet. Try and magazine watching the Stooges at their feral pre fame best complete witha skinny Madagascan hanging from the mic with his shirt stripped off like a youthful Iggy, or try to imagine the garage end of the Dead Kennedys cranked through the superfuzz of Mudhoney and that thrilling rush of early Nirvana and you are in the ballpark witha band who pique your curiosity with their home country but transcend it with their unrelenting power and twitching energy. With each song being a lesson in tension and dynamics The Dizzy Brains could actually be the best garage rock band in the world, they are that good…"
- Louder Than War, May 2017, Live Review
"Check it out. Its easy to see why they are a great band to have at any festival, as they bring with them energy, up beat rock songs to have any crowd dancing about. A young rock group from Madagascar The Dizzy Brains is capturing the imagination and attention of the music scene in Europe. The band’s unique style is a blend of punk and garage rock and their provocative lyrics tell stories about politics, power and protest in Madagascar. Since their songs challenge authority, the band was shunned from most concert venues and radio stations in Madagascar, but the band developed quite a following underground on social media and outside the country... The Dizzy Brains grabbed audiences in France after their appearance on the popular French television show 'Le Petit Journal' on April 14, 2016. During the show, one member of the band sparked a buzz on Malagasy social networks and blogs because he openly challenged Madagascar’s new prime minister, urging him on to do more for the country: 'just do your job, man!' This bold and spontaneous plea was the talk of the town in Madagascar for a while and fitted quite well with the group’s musical identity based on protest and civic engagement... The group continues to tour Europe and the young musicians continue to educate the world on their home country of Madagascar."

"These kids absolutely rock. They are going to make the fire, I’m sure of it. Because rock, in the end, is the vehicle of rebellion, and that’s without a doubt a little lost in the West. While in Madagascar, what they’re singing has meaning. This is coming from the streets."
- Jean-Louis Brossard, director of the Trans-Musicales festival in Rennes
AUTOGRAMM (CA)
80s / Power Pop / Wave
Autogramm is a synth-driven power-pop trio from Vancouver. Their uptempo, vintage new wave sound grew out of bassist's C.C.Voltage, guitarist's Jiffy Marx and drummer The Silo’s shared love of proto-punk and power pop. Guitarist Marx also plays the keyboard, while bass and drums set the rhythm of the song.
If you're a fan of The Cars, The Go Go's, Gary Numan or Devo, you might like what they're doing.
The three had been connected through the Vancouver music scene, sharing stages, friends and even band members in seminal bands like Black Mountain, Destroyer, Lightning Dust, Blood Meridian, The Spitfires, Black Halos and Hard Drugs.
Within a year of forming, they released their first single, made a trip to California which garnered them interest from two different labels and did a west coast tour with Seattle’s Bread & Butter.
Currently the band is celebrating the release of their first full-length “What R U Waiting 4?” on Nevado Music, with several more road trips including a recent tour with Atlanta’s Gringo Star and a handful of upcoming dates with Vancouver’s Needles//Pins.
Autogramm toured the US, Mexico and Europe in 2019, published their fantastic new album "No Rules" in spring 2021 and will tour Europe again in summer 2022.
Reviews
"Autogramm is not afraid to show their influence and their influence is that exact point where Punk and New Wave merged in 1978. Taking the minimalist hooks from the Cars and the slightly sinister buzz of Tubeway Army, Autogramm crank out a catchy number that not only would fit right at home on an I love the ‘80s soundtrack, but would also put about half of the songs on that tape to shame."
- John Gentile, Punknews, NYC
"The members of Autogramm never abandoned the acts they loved as kids, even during their punk-rock years, when a lot of everything that’s not fast, loud, and snotty gets thrown overboard. Binding the three musicians together was a sincere interest in paying tribute to a fabled late-’70s/early-’80s period in music that they love. The era-specific spectres of lipstick-smeared new wave, grey-hued postpunk, and freak-flag synth-pop hang joyfully over 'What R U Waiting 4?'."
- Mike Usinger, Georgia Straight, Vancouver
"The band’s first full-length 'What R U Waiting 4?' is a polished power-pop record, brimming with sunny, synthy rock songs sporting a smooth 80s sensibility that draws from the Cars and Gary Numan."
- Adam White, Some Party, Niagara Falls
"If you are looking for a kickass new band to pay some attention to, look no further than Autogramm. The band possesses a retro vibe with a decidedly international flavor. From perfectly-crafted radio friendly power-punk songs to indie and new-wave, with many other stops in between, the new album is sure to make instant fans out of anyone that listens."
- Northwest Music Scene, Tacoma
"The two songs on this here 7” are synth heavy, mid-tempo New Wave-y tunes that remind me of something that could have been on the Cars Panorama LP. If you miss the days when bands like Split Enz and Ultravox roamed the earth in top form, then Autogramm have come to answer you desperate pleas."
- Audio Ammunition, Los Angeles
"CC Voltage lived in Berlin and played in the vintage hardcore band Dysnea Boys before coming back to Vancouver. In German, an autogramm is an autograph. Goes well with the kind of German new wave vibe of songs such as Peter Pan. It sort of reminds me of After the Fire’s Der Kommissar."
- Stuart Derdeyn, Vancouver Sun, Vancouver
"If you've been hankering after some old school Tubeway army style alt-punk, then get an ear full of this: it’s the Cars driving Numan around listening to some real ‘80s radio before checking out Duncan Reid - it's that catchy."
- Uber Rock, U.K.
"These guys hail from Vancouver and have turned in two synth laced, new wave pop songs that sound like they're straight out of 1979. Like The Cars, Autogramm have a strong pop structure at the root of both songs."
- I Buy Too Many Records, New Jersey
"Is there a new wave of new wave? Let’s hope so, because this new Autogramm single is killer! If your love of new wave is the combination of power pop injected with synths, bands like The Cars, 20/20, The Motors, and the like, then Vancouver’s Autogramm hits a home run here."
- 50 Third and 3rd, Manhattan
"In style and substance they bring to mind The Cars. A lot of people may not like that comparison—hell the band may not even like it—but I do mean it as a high compliment. The chorus is on repeat in my brain and I don’t have a problem with that."
- Razorcake, Los Angeles
