Only / Medikinet / Crossed

In the organizer's words:

Emerging from the depths of Berlin's vibrant underground scene, ONLY has quickly made a name for itself in the post-hardcore and screamo scene. Formed in late 2021, the band unites four distinct musicians, each bringing their own unique background to a visceral sonic force. Massimo, Giulio, Keir and Cesar released their debut in 2022. 'EP I' was a raw and unvarnished expression of emotion and was released on limited edition cassette via Shove Records. The debut quickly created a buzz in the European screamo scene, and in early 2023 ONLY embarked on their first international tour, taking them through Germany, Italy and the Czech Republic, showcasing their intense live performances at festivals, clubs and basements alike. Since then, ONLY have shared the stage with some of the most influential bands in the screamo genre, such as Jeromes Dream, Raein, Stormo, Shizune and Ojne, to name but a few.

ONLY's second release came in the form of a split with Barabbas du Förtappade from Stockholm, released and distributed in collaboration with 11 labels from around the world. With regular storming shows all over Germany and beyond, ONLY have cemented their reputation for their energetic sets while gaining new fans near and far.

In 2025, ONLY are preparing to make their most significant statement yet: the release of their first full-length album. With this highly anticipated record, the band promises to push the boundaries of their sound, blending chaotic energy with introspective lyrical themes. Later in the year, ONLY will share the stage with screamo legends pageninetynine, a milestone for any band in the genre. In April, they will also embark on their second European tour, once again bringing their intense and dynamic performances to fans and new audiences in
Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Italy.

ONLY is on the cusp of breaking out of their underground roots, giving screamo a fresh voice that both stays true to its roots and isn't afraid to evolve.

Since 2024, MEDIKINET have been raging, bludgeoning, wailing and pleading in the rehearsal rooms of various subcultural hotspots in Mainz and the surrounding area, taking their cue from screamo and emo scene greats such as Daïtro, We Came Out Like Tigers, Lion of the North and Trautonist. Consequently, it will come as no surprise to anyone that MEDIKINET force fine melody into brute force in their songs, only to throw everything back into the pile the next moment. Caught between ecstasy and catatonia, MEDIKINET is probably the most honest answer to the question of whether the kids are alright.

CROSSED from Madrid are something of a supergroup for life-denying scream music. Founded by members of DESCUBRIENDO A MR. MIME, EROS+MASSACRE and BONEFLOWER, CROSSED play a pitch-black, enriched amalgam of the aforementioned. Screamo, hardcore, metallic riffs and the odd industrial gimmick form a sound that is sometimes tough, sometimes wildly blasting, for all those who like it a bit more uncomfortable - and fall back on GILLIAN CARTER, CONVERGE or PORTRAYAL OF GUILT to chill out. CROSSED have their new album "Realismo Ausente" with them, which will see the light of day on March 21 this year.
