ULI SAILOR

Forget what you've learned about punk rock so far.

Uli Sailor has been proving for over 30 years that punk rock doesn't need electric guitars to get heads and hearts moving. With his "punk rock piano", he transforms every stage into a place between demolition and goosebumps - with just his voice and keys, he can do what a whole band would otherwise need. More than 120 concerts, from small DIY stores to Rock am Ring, have shown:

Something special is happening here. His debut album will be released in spring 2026, 10 songs between punk, indie and personal anthem. Angry, vulnerable, political - and always full of passion. Uli will be presenting these songs as part of his tour, which you should definitely attend. You can find audio samples on all the usual streaming portals, including the first single "Wenn ich mal groß bin".

FRACHTER

FRACHTER are back - with their second album "Es wird gleich besser".

The three-piece expand on their undogmatic take on emo-punk and try to defy all odds with anger and a dash of optimism. The climate crisis, rattling neoliberalism and the shift to the right that is spreading right to our doorstep - it's no use: "It'll be better soon", from May 2026.

In a time of excessive demands, FRACHTER have written an equally overwhelmed album. The years since their debut "Bad Sterben" (2023) have been as exciting as they have been exhausting, after the band played their way through AZs and clubs such as the Groovestation (Dresden) or the Astra Stube (rip!) in Hamburg across Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic. You could almost say that the three Weimarers have grown up in this time. While their debut album was still retrospectively working on their own provincial socialization, "Es wird gleich besser" is set in the here and now. The 11 1⁄2 songs oscillate thematically between permanent political crisis, loss and self-care, without tipping over into individualistic phrase-mongering.

This idiosyncratic linguistic sound - peppered with numerous references - is entrenched between nebulous unwieldiness and pointed sloganeering. In the snappy "Dolomiti" it sounds like this: "Tell me, how do you protect yourself - do yourself a favor and just don't play the hero". "Umarella" is dedicated to the relationship and emancipation of one's own grandparents. And in the closer and quasi-title track "Gleich wird es besser", they combine Grauzone and Oasis to create the ultimate anthem of collective agency. Aaron (vocals, guitar), Philipp (drums) and Dome (bass) are ultimately still a band that knows exactly how to use this relationship structure.

KOJE

Sebastian Schwaigert was the singer and songwriter of the punk rock band Benzin. For 10 years, they were a permanent institution in the field of German-language indie rock music. However, after 4 studio albums and over 400 concerts at home and abroad, they called it a day.

But where one window closed, in his case several new ones opened and so you can regularly see him dancing at various weddings, whether with his new band Go Go Gazelle, as author and publisher of the Potzblitz series (U-Line/unsichtbar Verlag) or quite puristically, just with guitar and voice in his favorite role as KOJE . Here, the Augsburg native shows that German-language songs can be simple, cunning and beautiful at the same time.

After his debut EP "In Clownschuhen übers Minenfeld", KOJE is now working on his follow-up work.
