Ravagers will be coming back to Europe in 2026! One glance is all it takes to know this isn’t just a band but rather a straight-up, low-down goddamn gang. Denim, leather, sunglasses… the sort of image that made the best rock groups of late 1970s NYC the icons they were. But no, this ain’t the Lower East Side. This group could have only slimed its way out of the chaotic, corrupt, crime-ridden birth canal that is Baltimore City. For over a decade, guitarist and vocalist Alex Hagen has been penning the sort of nightmarish yet anthemic punk rock that captivates the youth as well as yesterday’s heroes. Blending hard rock, ‘77 punk and arena guitar hooks – courtesy of lead guitarist Matt Gabs (formerly of Fishnet Stalkers/BITERS) – the group vows to exterminate any poser vermin that stand in their way.The group’s two LPs, Badlands (2022) and On the Loose (2025) blend ‘77 punk and hard rock with the addition of the macabre dark-wave sound Stiv sought in Lords of the New Church.
Backed by the rhythm section of Ray Peters and Sam Hariss, Ravagers drive the relentless, white-knuckle force of Motörhead with the hook-driven melodies of Thin Lizzy, Alice Cooper, and Turbonegro. Ravagers: The band that bites back!

The Young Ones - NO Bollocks, JUST Oi! Just over a decade ago, four young skins from the deep south of the Netherlands, inspired by the classics of the eighties, decided to found their own Oi! band. Since none of the members had been born at the time of their favourite music, they called themselves THE YOUNG ONES!!! Their music sounded like Cockney Rejects, The Business and Blitz still ruled the British punk scene. In 2007 they decided to quit, but since 2015 they are back. They took Merijn (former singer of dutch legends Discipline)on board and soon an EP and now also an LP were recorded and various live shows were played! The boys grow older, their sound is still the same...pure, classic Oi!!! Surely they will put their nose in our business for a while!
