ELECTRIC HELLESSENCE wasfounded 2004 driven by the urge to put forth hardhitting music regardless of any fashionability.

| NANCY GLOWBUS met for a jam in winter '02, bored of haven't mistreated strings nor drums for a long time starving for distortion, homemade fuzzy tunes and carpets of sound. It became a strange night, one of those rare moments never forgotten. Guts were trembling and what was to become NANCY GLOWBUS flew through the hours. A lot happened since then. They played numerous shows in living rooms and supporting international artists, made friendship with subversiv records, hugged & hated eachother, but one thing stayed: the best dump thay always take after a good jam or show. |
| PIROL take off with post/math-rocking songs and surprise with powerful stoner-like tracks, a sparkling arrangement of fireworks enlighting the mountains, bridges, buildings and the souls contained by them. |

| The TEENAGE KINGS are a three-piece band coming outta Zurich, Switzerland. 1999 while pub-crawling, they found out that drinking beer in company is more fun and formed a band. The TEENAGE KINGS deliver rip-off-garage-trash, fast-as-fuck, dirty and raw chainsaw riffs, lust and the sweat of beer. Their songs are built up of two chorus, two lines, a guitar solo and never demand more than two minutes of your attention. TEENAGE KINGS have played with great bands such as the Zodiac Killers, the Dirtbombs, the Columbian Neckties or the Monsters. |

After two full length albums UNHOLD gathered forces for "Gold Cut" once again and set a task to merge beauty and beast into one single hybrid creature - fierce, intimidating, beautiful and compelling. "Gold Cut" is the outcome of four years of hard work, boiling down tons of material to 9 songs, clocking in at over fifty minutes. In order to pick up where "Loess" left the band, a toll had to be paid to take the whole venture a step further in making this record. UNHOLD, now in their prime, teamed up with a few adept aquanauts and took a deep dive into the bottomless pit of the project, everyone yielded, delivered and turned up pretty much unharmed. Sometimes it's called for - to let go of something dearly loved and craved in order to break up and explore new frontiers. Make the shift consciously and keep in honour what you leave behind. Work in modesty and harvest when time is due. The gold cut. UNHOLD is active since 1992 and could maybe be described as a hybrid originating from early nineties metal and noiserock drenched in hardcore's disenchanting worldview and gutfelt rage. Besides some tours through Europe UNHOLD had the pleasure to open shows for wellknown bands like Sick Of It All, Crowbar, The Ocean, Biohazard, Strife, Endstand, Tribute To Nothing. |

| Uristier play punkrock in a swiss way: cheesy lyrics, sweet melodies, precise drumattacks and a neutral haircut. The lyrics are shouted in Swiss-German. They sing about racing teams, mountains, making babies and pink pijamas. Influenced by heavy metal riffs, punkrock and a Swiss folk music star named «Sepp Trütsch», the definition of their sound can only called one way: 100% Toiletcore! |
| Lahar bundle the essence of their feelings in compelling rocksongs - always in pursuit of condensed epic ideas. The raw and intense sound of the Lucerne based outfit aims directly at the spectators hearts. Carrying the idea of carrot and stick, Lahar leave an impression between a punch in the face and a caress on the cheek. Now their long overdue debut-album "meanders" is to be released on subversiv records. Containing twelve touching songs, this record intends to set the stage(s) for Lahar. |
| Mit viel Strom rudert die Viermannbesatzung, Overdrive Amp Explosion, dem Welterfolg entgegegen. Schwere Noten, sperrige Refrainkisten und einige Backgroundtänzerinnen wurden über Bord geworfen, sowie der sichernde Anker eingezogen. Auf ihrem Kurs begegnen die westschweizer leuchtenden Unterwasserschlössern, farbige Gitarrenriffs, und verzaubern die Zuhörer mit ihrer Freude am Indierock. Mit "blanks", schreiben sie Songs für Leute, welche Ohren haben um zu sehen. |
| THE MONOFONES is a rumbling drum, a heavily distorted Gretsch guitar sounding like a John Deere tractor shortly before kicking the bucket and a female voice by which you wouldn't like to be bawled at by. The threepiece produces loud and wild 60ies garage trash served with a pinch of punk. The shows of THE MONOFONES guarantee not only a low-fi inferno of a different kind but are also highly amusing, as all THE MONOFONES members are rather openhearted and blabbermouthed. |

| Drei jahre nach der 4 Track EP "Ass Jazz" - der damals verschissensten Platte des Jahres - bringen PORNOLÉ es fertig, diesen Meilenstein noch zu übertreffen. Im Untergrund Winterthurs wurde in den trüben Gewässern der Kanalisation nach der ganz grossen Scheisse geschürft, und das mit Erfolg! Auf dem Debut "Manhole Maniacs" wurden nur die dicksten und besten Brocken von Kennerhand bearbeitet und veredelt. Nun steigen die fünf Kanalratten aus Unterwinterthur an die Oberfläche und zeigen was der Untergrund zu bieten hat: 45 Minuten Shit der Klärmeisterklasse konnten für die Nachwelt konserviert werden. Das grosse Geschäft ist erledigt, die Kacke am dampfen! |
