Dunya means world. This world, which is wraped into a robe of dreams by the band. The single release Toprak of the debut EP is an epic venture in Turkish. Dunya shows that they are not only well versed in dynamic riffing and creating broad soundscapes, but can also seamlessly harmonize them. In a precisely orchestrated symbiosis, playful synthesizers and barbaric fuzz guitars make peace; that peace the band tangibly longs for in their lyrics. Toprak reveals melancholy without being passive or powerless. Instead, the song has something revelatory in its tension, almost opening. Singer Banu Sengül's voice holds an urgency and strength that captures and resolutely exposes their world-weariness at its core. The melodies remind of bands like Altin Gün or Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek, without losing anything of Dunya's own musical essence in the slightest. "Toprak" is the first Single taken from Dunya's upcoming self-titled debut EP, out May 7th on Cassette, CD and Digital! ▶︎ Cassette/CD: https://www.lapochettesurprise.de/product-page/dunya-dunya-ep ▶︎ Digital: https://orcd.co/dunya Song written and performed by Dunya Recorded by Christian Lincke Mixed by Benedikt Brands Mastered by Wellenbrecher Audio Video by Manuel Tröndle Animations by Julian Gummich ℗ 2021 Released by Dunya / La Pochette Surprise Records © 2021 Published by La Pochette Surprise / Community Publishing FOLLOW DUNYA Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Dunya-102494628233740 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dunya.band/ Spotify: http://open.spotify.com/artist/1CL2J0XG1UkGAeGzcGzduX FOLLOW LA POCHETTE SURPRISE Website: https://www.lapochettesurprise.de/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lapochettesurprise/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pochette.surprise.records ++ LYRICS ++ Toprak kara Toprak (Erde, schwarze Erde) bütün hayatin kaynai sensin (du bist der Ursprung allen Lebens) dünya ah ölümlü dünya (Ach du todbringende Welt) senin güzeline gözlerimiz kör (für deine Schönheit, sind unsere Augen blind) kuslarin sarkilari (Der Gesang der Vögel) ahududunun tadi (der Geschmack von Himbeeren) yapraklarin hisirtisi (Das rascheln der Blätter) her şey yalnızca senden kaynaklaniyor (All das entspringt nur aus dir) suyundan iceriz (wir trinken von deinem Wasser) bu her zaman böyleydi (So ist es immer gewesen) dünya değişiyor ama sensiz asla hayata kalamayiz (Die Welt ändert sich, aber ohne dich können wir nicht überleben) Gideceğimiz o gün gelecek (Der Tag unseres Abschiedes wird kommen) geri dönmek istemeyeceğim (ich werde nicht zurückkehren wollen) sadece bir avuc toprak kalir geride (Was bleibt ist nur ein häufchen Erde) ve bütün farkliliklar kaybolur ölümün gözünde (All unsere Unterschiede, verschwinden im Auge des Todes.) #DUNYA #TOPRAK

"I try to keep the course, cause I wanna feel myself" opens Martin Mann aka Future Prawn, musical jack-of-all-trades and creative workalcoholic, opens in his first single release Marshmallow Pie. Mann sings his lines so self-confidently that one could think, it is much more than just an attempt. Energetic drums, bass and guitar push the intro and guitar push the intro forward, while the saxophone blows fresh wind into the sails. Ty Segall and King Tuff send their regards. "Marshmallow Pie" is the first Single taken from Future Prawns upcoming debut album "A Day at Promenade", out June 25th 2021.

If the decades-long friendship of two Hamburg musicians regularly revolves around their shared love of indie rock and - as befits guitarists - fuzz pedals, it is only logical that these very preferences are immediately noticeable when it comes to the formation of a joint band. Frehn Hawel (vocals, guitar) and Rick McPhail (drums, vocals), on the road in the German music scene for a good two decades, release as hawel / mcphail on 21.05.2021 with "Transmissions From The Upper Room" their debut album on La Pochette Surprise Records. And what was better suited as the first single than the first song together?

Meet Goblyn. At the moment, no band represents the subculture scene in Hamburg as well as the four guys who all met in St.Pauli’s Molotow Club. Naturally. Goblyn are angry. The Post Punk Quartet's debut single "Wet Dogs" describes the struggle with one's own psyche, only to be literally eaten up by it. A dark, pulsating track that feeds you directly into the downward spiral of a sick ego and then lets you go to waste. A stranger in your own body. Betrayal. “You are simply exposed to your own demons. I think a lot of people know this feeling of being completely lost and powerless than they would like to admit.”, says Johannes, the singer of the band. Their music feels incredibly personal on the one hand and universal on the other. Goblyns sound is a modern dream child of an inglorious liaison between the B52s, Hawkwind and Sleaford Mods.

Brand new Song "Hell and Heaven" by SUCK. This single was written and recorded last year at the beginning of the corona crisis. The band was shocked to realize that all plans about playing live and touring were put on hold. Also writing new songs for the upcoming album was difficult due to that weird and uninspiring situation. HELL AND HEAVEN was a musically outbreak and an escape ahead. Mostly written and recorded in one hell of a night. It’s a homage to 80‘s Thrash Metal and the big four. Metal music was part of every members’ past so HELL AND HEAVEN also felt like coming home.

Billy Zach's third single from the new album ‛Struggle On' (22.01.2021) is different from its predecessor. ‛Funny' is a rather light-footed, yet cynical, song without frills. Lyrically, ‛Funny' vacillates between monologue and prologue, between irony and bitterness. "Isn't it funny that I can't (won't) change?" The question seems rhetorical; one won't, the other can't, and maybe the whole thing isn't so funny after all. Musically, ‛Funny' remains unusually short-winded and uncompromising. In the two and a half minutes, a choppy chord sequence defines the sound, while bass and drums rumblingly set the tempo. The vocals remain lethargic until the end, before finally throwing angry proclamations at the listeners. Billy Zach's new album "Struggle On" is out this Friday! ► Spotify: https://smarturl.it/BillyZachStruggleOn/spotify ► Apple Music: https://smarturl.it/BillyZachStruggleOn/applemusic ► iTunes: https://smarturl.it/BillyZachStruggleOn/itunes ► Bandcamp: https://lapochettesurpriserecords.bandcamp.com/album/struggle-on Song written and recorded by Billy Zach Mixed and mastered by Danny Husten Video by Cut The Future - Video https://www.instagram.com/cut_the_future_videos Follow Billy Zach Bandcamp: https://billyzach.bandcamp.com/ Facebook: https://facebook.com/billythezach Instagram: https://instagram.com/billy_zach_band/ Follow La Pochette Surprise Website: http://lapochettesurprise.de Bandcamp: http://lapochettesurpriserecords.bandcamp.com Facebook: http://facebook.com/pochette.surprise.records Instagram: http://instagram.com/lapochettesurprise ℗ 2020 Released by Billy Zach / La Pochette Surprise Records © 2020 Published by La Pochette Surprise / Community Publishing ++LYRICS++ All is safe, cause I’m safe I let work and own three flats in a lane I don’t steal, I provide I don’t enslave, everyone is free to decide And there’s never, there’s never gonna be tears And there’s never, there’s never gonna be fears And don’t stop, and top top top the top And my luck mocks my own construct Isn’t it funny that I can’t change I don’t feel safe, I’m out of cash I can’t pay rent, I feel like trash It’s all my fault, cause I decide And my toe just died, although they all provide And there’s tears, there’s always gonna be tears And there’s fears, there’s always gonna be fears I can’t stop, but never reach the top I guess fuck, ich guess I’m out of luck Isn’t it funny that I can’t change 8x But I wanna be rich Everybody wanna be rich Rich, rich, rich, rich… #BillyZach #StruggleOn #TheNewAlbum

Sometimes I don't wanna be awake - The new song "Sleep" by Billy Zach puts the daydream to music. With the second single from the upcoming album "Struggle On" (2021), the quartet wants to put you in a trance - and relies on dark monotony. While the first single "A City In The Warm Rain" focuses on progression and swelling rage, "Sleep" actually comes across as rather sleepy after a rumbling intro. Chorus and reverb effects achieve a hypnotic effect. Only occasionally is the song snatched from its dreamy state by rhythmic accents and sound effects. While the drums drive steadily, the bass turns its repetitive tracks in the background, but still remains present. Enlightening variations and beautiful melodies are sought in vain on "Sleep". Even the vocals remain mostly indifferent and resigned; knowing that sometimes it is more pleasant to sleep than to be awake. That this can't be a solution doesn't seem to matter to Billy Zach: "I don't wanna be awake" - The frustrating, stubborn and undiscerning swan song to the inevitable.
