Drive Moya (AUT)ALT-Rock
All great things must come to an end. About half of the time, that's a good thing. This idea spreads like a vascular network throughout Drive Moya’s second album ‘The Great End’. Arteries of loss, death, and existential angst head in one direction, with veins of hope, escape, and renewal pumping in the other. The difficult part is telling the difference. Even in the band’s sweetest moments, they are often obscuring a much darker sentiment. Musically, Drive Moya have sharpened their focus since their 2019 debut, with tighter songwriting, hookier choruses, and a more powerful impact. What hasn’t changed is their knack for blending distinctly 90s-flavoured influences into a sharp, contemporary, and quite unique sound. The tapestry of noises, textures, and moods Drive Moya conjure up makes ‘The Great End’ a complex and engaging journey, taking in upbeat indie-rock numbers (‘Your Heart Will Never Burst’, ‘The Sun’), melancholy slowcore/shoegaze (‘This Grey Heart’, ‘Unbound’), and dense, atmospheric post-rock events (‘Human Remains’, ‘Ante Valdemar Roos’). Guest contributors—including Viennese electro-hero Gerhard Potuznik and grammy-winning super producer Shawn Everett—even add some exciting new colours to the band’s palette, accentuating ‘The Great End’s bright side. Watch out though: even when it sounds cheerful, it could still be about the death of joy. Everything has its last gasp at some point.

Haunted by the remote (AUT)
ALT-Rock
Haunted by the remote sind Silly (git/voc), Steiner (git), Jammerbund (Drums), Kahlbacher (Bass) Grünberger (Bläser). Die Band gibt es seit 2014. Graz – AUT. Das Quintett wurde von Gitarristen und Sänger Stefan Silly gegründet, um mit (allen) Mitgliedern der Band Hidden By The Grapes 90iger Jahre inspirierte Gitarrenmusik zu machen. Federführend in verschiedenen Online- und Printmagazinen wurde das zweite Album "Neoromancer" (2018) sehr positiv bewertet: Die Musik von Haunted By The Remote wird etwa als "Obsession und Anregung für dekadent-urbane ist experimentell, Silly – die atmosphärische Kompositionen kommen immer mit einer Pop Kante. Der Sound der Band bisher zeichnet sich durch ein Wechselspiel aus laut und leise, wohliger Anmut und noisig shoegazigen - ausufernde Gitarrenparts aus. Die Band lässt sich dabei von diversen Einflüssen inspirieren, das Debut Inner Workings (2016) erinnert an das Frühwerk von The Notwist - Sonic Youth und und Neunziger-Alternative-Rock, Shoegazing lässt grüßen.

Backwards Charm (AUT)
Shoegaze
Reverberating echoes of crestfallen lustrous melodies. Broken mirrors reflecting sonder in what’s intrapersonal. Restlessly seeking solace in a dystopia involuntarily perpetuated. With meticulous poignancy, Backwards Charm draw inspiration from a wide array of aesthetics: At the crossroads where shoegaze and avant-garde meet, the band’s creative output unpacks a thematic zenith of existential dread and negative capability. Like dissolving an altercation between the material and transcendental, the trio composes songs that equally embrace dream and nightmare, complexity and ease, drive and stasis.
