Radar Men From The Moon:Radar Men From The Moon (RMFTM) have constantly evolved throughout the fourteen years of their existence as a band. Their back-catalog ranges from Space Rock to Dissonant Psych Rock and from Drone Techno to industrial Post-Punk. Nothing is fixed and everything in the group’s music is in constant flux.
2024 marks a new era for RMFTM, as their upcoming album ‘Vomitorium’ is slated for release on Fuzz Club Records on August 16th. Following up on 2020’s ‘The Bestial Light’, they continue to push their creative boundaries as a group. Darker and heavier than before, revelling in cathartic excess and a bludgeoning intensity, they power through 90s industrial electronics, discordant noise-rock and the darkest post-punk extremes.
Since forming in 2010, the collective has maintained an ever-shifting line-up of people, but the group’s core members have been Glenn Peeters, Tony Lathouwers & Bram van Zuijlen. With the addition of Joep Schmitz on drums, Niels Koster on vocals and Niek Manders on bass, the reintroduction of RMFTM took off at Roadburn Festival 2022, where they showcased multiple sets during the festival; including a commissioned piece with Twin Sister titled ‘Mirros for Discharge’ (Dead Neanderthals, Sex Swing), and an electronic set appropriately dubbed ‘Acid Metal’.
The band embarked on multiple tours throughout Europe and have performed at festivals such as Roadburn, Liverpool Psych Fest, Levitation France, Duna Jam, Freak Valley, Desertfest Berlin and Reverence Festival Valada. In addition to having nine albums released on Fuzz Club Records, the collective is well-known for their collaborations with other bands such as GNOD, The Cosmic Dead, and 10.000 Russos.

SPECK
As spontaneous as their music, SPECK came to life. In the fall of 2019, a replacement
band was needed for a concert in Vienna. Patrick, Lisa, and Marcel stepped in and
jammed their way into the cosmos and back. The audience loved it.
Since then, the trio has been conquering stages across Austria and beyond.
In December 2021, SPECK released their debut album "Unkraut," featuring five jams. In
April 2021, SPECK recorded the 23-minute "The Metz Session," which was released in
2023 as part of a split LP with Interkosmos on Sulatron Records.
In March 2022, SPECK joined the Tonzonen Records family. In October 2023, SPECK’s
second full-length album, "Eine Gute Reise," was released on Tonzonen Records. In 2024,
SPECK contributed one LP side of psychedelic sounds to Worst Bassist Records’
"International Space Station Vol. II."
Another milestone occurred in June 2024: a live show at the Freak Valley Festival,
including a live recording by WDR Rockpalast.
The crispy name refers, among other things, to a popular addition to a hearty kraut salad.
