Horacio
Pollard:
"Half English, half Argentine "noiseeccentric" HORACIO POLLARD has been
active in the field of experimental music since 2002 and has released
numerous vinyl, tape & CD releases on various international labels
such as Wrong Musis(UK) & Altered Tape( DE) . A member of noise rock
bands CLIFFORD TORUS and FULLY BLOWN DENTAL REFORM, he also runs his
own label Neigh%Music. He has toured South America, Europe, Asia,
Australia with acts such as Moha, DJ Scotch Egg, Torturing Nurse, Alan
Courtis, Casper Brotzmann, Noxagt, Boredoms & Lightning Bolt. His
music is extreme and uncompromising, a real treat to behold
Batalj:
BATALJ is a Berlin-based experimental noise/trash/mayhem-outfit from
Sweden/Australia. With distorted synthesizers accompanied by frantic
drum assaults, effect-drenched guitar arrangements and shrieking vocals
the three-piece creates a barely comprehensible soundscape consisting of
deformed rythms, blasts, bleeps, clicks, screams, more or less
controlled chaos and diverse musical damaged goods hailing from hardcore
punk as well as experimental noise.
The past two years the band has extensively toured Europe, played well
over 100 shows and realeased two 7-inch splits as well as been on
various compilations. A self-titled debut EP is now out on 7-inch vinyl
on Et Mon Cul C'est Du Tofu? and Twintoe Records.
...Batalj have harvested several strands of contemporary ugliness and
thrown them together like a rotten mud pie, dripping with hell-bent
nihilism and destroyed music forms. Taking in blast-beat black metal,
Load-type noise source manipulation and a ferocious group dynamic that,
while not as free and open as Harry Pussy, definitely shares the sheer
sonic harshness of said trio.
Rough Trade
Moments of chaotic noise alternated with almost dancy parts with dirty
bass synth sounds & stunning drums. Hands down this was one of the
best bands I saw live this year and they're probably one of the best
bands in Berlin right now.
The Craze
The band plays an amazingly chaotic and inventive style of
noise/punk/trash, to try and label it… but to be honest, with all the
screaming, blasting disorienting drum assaults, blips, blops, and
screeching, it simply has to be heard.
Folkzine
…futureworld noise and blast-beat craziness, a room full of blown
eardrums and bent minds left in their wake, but when you've somehow
gotten their idea in your head, when their vision has been somehow
successfully communicated to you on some level, you're really going to
have a good time.
BlitsGigs
Batalj is a mix of heavy metal guitar, heavy metal drums and keys that
sound like they came straight from Ross' from friends. It seemed like an
attempt to blend techno and heavy metal but all it did was give me
headache. Saying this I did see quite a few people enjoying the set.
Even after the gig one person approached the band and gave them a
barrage of compliments. However I did try and see positive in this band
but when they sound checked and the girl on the keys started to make
noises like a pterodactyl I knew this wasn't going to be my favourite of
the night.

Staer:
STAER's Happy Meal is comprised of 100% distorted, octave-pitched
meat patty, two piercing blast-beat high-gluten buns, fresh salad-core
and our house cunt-o-matic dressing. Choose between high-fat ring
modulator or cold filtered noise.
STAER first spread its counter-cultural wings in 2008, and has since
been hailed by various noise acts both locally and internationally.
This thundering three-piece has an old school instrumentation of drums,
bass and guitar, but sounds refreshingly new and exciting. Two releases
are currently in the works, a split vinyl with legendary NOXAGT, and
their debut album in Duper Studio with Joergen Tr�en to be released
through Gaffer Records in 2012.
