Die My Darling

Die My Darling is a 4 piece melodic hardcore/crust band from Belarus. They begin playing in March 2011. Guys live in different towns and rehearsels are not often but in spite of that they've released great 5-songs EP. It was recorded for 3 hours at small studio. Budget = $12. The record is not perfect and it's obvious but the sound has solid energy and vocals are rude and bold. All the members apart of DMD played in various bands from pop punk to alternative and it's the main reason why the sound is so catchy. Lyrics are full of politics. Belorussian stage is pretty extraordinary so don't pass by!

Smart Cops

The way Smart Cops play could be described as a rally cry to social alienation with a mixture of sarcasm, rebellion, self-pity and paranoia. It’s weird, simple and to the point. Their sound is defined by crunchy guitars and obsessive drum beats. Smart Cops are going to polyphonically dent your ear drums, rhythmically roust you until your brain spins and steamcomes screaming out of your navel. As the poet said. Their weapon? This here record. Rise up, it's time for a revolution!

Brontide

Brontide are an altogether different musical beast. Drawing upon the influence of Battles, Russian Circles and Don Caballero, Brontide are a riff-heavy, intelligent instrumental rock band that possesses an almost limitless scope. 

“San Souci is a continuous piece of music that ascends and descends with ease. Articulate, virtuoso and surprisingly entertaining” - Clash Magazine.
