Permission to Engage, with no question mark. Because Sofy Major doesn’t ask for. With their debut album, Mathieu (bass-vocals), Seb (guitar) and Mathieu (drums) from Clermont-Fd (FRA) authorize themselves to fire at will. Result is they break many walls between extreme musical styles, to resume in fifty minutes what others have been trying for years. But it was the least these three hard workers (and not rockers, unless maybe…) could do for their first full length: no way, after several releases going from screamo to doom and intensive touring over France and Europe, that the band stops a perpetual evolution guided by a DIY work and life ethic. Far beyond anything they’ve done before, Permission to Engage takes Sofy Major to a new step in the band’s career. Expect no-prisoners-shows and epic assaults on stage. And the charge is just getting started…

GERDA is a 4 piece rock band formed in Jesi, Italy in 1997.  The boys have never been interested in making music that sounded good or nice, or that even sounded like music. Gerda loves the thrill of being on the edge of losing control over the compositions.  Radical, crazed, chaotic music. Gerda generates full delirium, driving the audience into a body/mind trip, scary or attractive as it may seem.  Four albums and a split 12" released by diy / indie labels and somehow distributed in USA, Mexico, Europe, Japan.  The earth may be flat...

Brussels-based MONT-DORÉ is a Belgian collective gathered around a manifesto, as they describe it, concerning violence and peace in the act of climbing sensibilities.    Their first EP Escalades offered a vicious blend of screamo and DIY hardcore, and saw them hit stages together with the likes of ’68, Birds In Row, Year Of No Light, Celeste, ZZZ’s, Raketkanon, This Will Destroy You and Death Engine.    Mont-Doré returned with FRACTURES, an album with a more refined sound, yet still dangling over the edges of emergency. Far from being placated, FRACTURES the sound of a band violently confronting its inner-self, cranking out a visceral sonic amalgam somewhere between screamo, post-rock and post-hardcore.
