OLD TIME SPOOKS
Playing on home turf, Old Time Spooks are a hillbilly punk band formed in Vitoria-Gasteiz in 2022 with the aim of taking the streetwise spirit of American roots music wherever the road leads them. Armed with banjo, resonator guitar, washboard and washtub bass, they blend punk energy and Appalachian folklore with irony-laced tales of horror, […]
BILLY TALENT
More than three decades after they first started making noise in Ontario, Billy Talent continue to prove that punk urgency knows no age. Led by Benjamin Kowalewicz’s unmistakable voice and Ian D’Sa’s razor-sharp guitars, the Canadians have forged a sound of their own where punk rock, post-hardcore and alternative rock collide in songs packed with […]
TWIN TEMPLE
They turned Satanism into spectacle and doo-wop into their own kind of black mass. Twin Temple, the duo formed by Alexandra and Zachary James, blend the elegance of ’50s and ’60s rock & roll and rhythm & blues with lyrics steeped in occultism, freedom, sexuality and provocation. Describing their sound as “satanic doo-wop”, they have […]
THE URBAN VOODOO MACHINE
Looking like a band straight out of a cabaret at the end of the world, The Urban Voodoo Machine have been turning stages into celebrations of rock & roll, blues, punk, country and New Orleans jazz since 2003. Led by the unmistakable Paul-Ronney Angel, the London outfit christened their peculiar blend “bourbon-soaked gypsy blues bop’n’stroll”, […]
REVEREND BEAT-MAN & MILAN SLICK
Two generations separated by almost four decades collide in Reverend Beat-Man & Milan Slick, a partnership born in 2020 when they created a live soundtrack for the vampire film A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night. On one side stands Reverend Beat-Man, preacher of blues trash and uncrowned king of primitive rock’n’roll; on the other, […]
TEAR DUNGEON
Desde Austin, Texas, Tear Dungeon llegan como una auténtica bomba de relojería de noise-punk, sludge y hardcore. Enmascarados, abrasivos y deliberadamente excesivos, construyen canciones a base de riffs saturados, feedback, velocidad y una rabia que en directo se transforma en catarsis colectiva. Su reputación sobre el escenario habla por sí sola: sangre teatral, destrucción imprevisible […]
THE CYBORGS
Arriving from the future with their identities hidden behind welding masks, The Cyborgs have been proving since 2009 that blues can sound like science fiction. The Italian duo twist the genre’s roots into an explosive strain of power-boogie fuelled by blues, rock, funk and punk attitude, creating a live racket that seems almost impossible for […]
CALA VENTO
Bi pertsona, gitarra bat, bateria bat eta edozein agertoki betetzeko adinako bolumena. Cala Vento, Aleix Turon eta Joan Delgado musikariek osatutako bikote katalanak, hamarkada bat baino gehiago darama abesti handiak eraikitzeko askoz gehiago behar ez dela erakusten. Izen bereko lehen diskotik, indie rocka, punka eta popa uztartzen dituen soinua garatu dute, gitarra zorrotzen, bateria indartsuen […]
SUPER400
Hailing from Troy, New York, Super 400 have the electricity of the great 70s bands branded into their souls, treating live shows as their only religion. Led by Kenny Hohman’s devastating guitars and Joe Daley’s imposing, magnetic bass, this power-trio crushes blues-rock, psychedelia, and muscular hard rock with monumental riffs, a hard-hitting rhythm section, and […]
16 Horsepower
More than twenty years after splitting up, 16 Horsepower returned to the stage in 2026, and having them at Azkena Rock Festival’s 25th anniversary will be a real privilege for the festival. Formed in Denver and led by David Eugene Edwards, they created a world of their own in the ’90s, where dark country, Appalachian […]
