Berliner Lvft

Crunch Tapes presents: + + + London, Ontario's Pro Wrestling is a Canadian powerhouse of DIY indie and punk. Crossing over between hardcore, indie and shoegaze, Pro Wrestling heads to the UK and Europe for the first time in spring 2024 for the release of their first full-length record. For fans of Husker Du, The Replacements, and Beach Slang, Pro Wrestling features members of Heart Attack Kids and Single Mothers and are fierce, committed, devoted soldiers of the road. + + + In the gutters of Berlin, there's a band that howls like a banshee in the night. Berliner Lvft, they call themselves, and they're a motley crew of misfits who live to drink and get high. Four weirdos, who make the devil's music with aluminum neck guitars and strange tunings that would make your ears bleed. But there's a strange beauty in their ugliness, a kind of poetry in their madness. They rage against the world, spitting out their disgust with society in every note they play. And when they play, they create a kind of magic. A raw, unfiltered energy that shakes you to your core and leaves you gasping for air. They're not here to make friends or win fans, they're here to make noise and damn the consequences. So if you're looking for something pretty and polished, look elsewhere. But if you want to feel the raw power of rock and roll, then Berliner Lvft is the band for you. The debut EP 'Totalschade' was released in October 2023 via Crunch Tapes. It was recorded live at Atomino-Studio in Erfurt, Germany by Frithjof Rödel of Northern Lite and mastered by Canadian sound producer Harris Newman (Arcade Fire, Superchunk, DITZ). + + + Adverse96 is an engaged (post-)hardcore punk band hailing from Belgium. Founded in 2015 in the aftermath of playing 15 years with Liège skatepunkers Hangin' Out, Laurent, Sambo and Phil went looking for a drummer. They recorded 2 EPs: 'Ghosts from the Past' (2015) and 'Last Stop Before Terminus' (2018). They played shows all over Europe and UK.
