German Post-Punk Legends Pink Turns Blue on Tour in Support of New Album “Black Swan” Since forming in 1985, German post-punk stalwarts Pink Turns Blue have refined their sound into something unmistakably their own—elegant in its minimalism, emotive in its delivery, and enduring in its relevance. From their early breakthrough with If Two Worlds Kiss to their newest release, Black Swan, the Berlin-based trio has remained a vital force in the international post-punk community, shaping and reshaping the genre across decades.

Manchester’s IST IST return with their fifth studio album ‘DAGGER’ - the follow-up to 2024’s ‘Light A Bigger Fire’ which charted at number 25 in the UK, breaking them into the Top 40 for the first time.

Over their decade as a band so far, IST IST have forged a formidable reputation on word of mouth excitement, amassing a dedicated cult following in the […]

Formed by Raphaël Bressler (vocals, keyboards), Glenn Le Meur (guitar), Jim Bodeman (bass) and Romain Segu (drums), the band broke through in 2024 with their debut EP That Never Happened — a release rooted in themes of grief, emotional distance and vulnerability, pairing ’80s cold-wave textures with sharp modern production.
Their forthcoming debut album Knots & Chains, due February 2026 via Irascible Records, expands on this world with thunderous basslines, hypnotic rhythms, reverb-soaked guitars and atmospheric synths underpinning Bressler’s deep, resonant vocals. Known for their […]
