POST-PUNK / NEW WAVE
“Berlin Manson brought their visceral, electro-punk to the stage. There's a huge punk energy delivered in a blaze of riffs, live drums and synths – it ignores genre and production tropes, but also comes out resolutely familiar. It was a lot of fun and bristled with a sense of unity. Post-punk rhythms danced with synth-pop melancholy and big punk riffs.”
The explosive duo from Bratislava and Košice creates a gloomy blend of post-punk, electronics and rap aesthetics aligned with total genre, production and attitude freedom. They avoid putting themselves into a predetermined image and fully fitting anywhere. With an ironic grin they know how to comment on current issues within as well as outside the DIY underground scene. One of the biggest up-and-coming bands in Slovakia and Czechia, they played over fifty packed club and festival shows in 2022 and won the award Newcomer of the year at the Slovak national radio music awards. Their new album is set to be released in spring 2024.
