Ruhmer

Between retro soul, modern rock and introspective pop, he finds a sound that feels familiar yet constantly surprises – somewhere between living room and outer space, between Beck-style irony, British attitude and the pathos of a Paolo Nutini.

Thu

Conan City Hardcore

Reading! Around 25 years ago, the Conan City Collective was a kind of primordial soup of the Styrian punk rock scene.
