About the artists:
TRAITRS (CAN) – With their emotional melodies, driving rhythms, angular guitars and dark cinematic electronics, TRAITRS has quickly become one of the fastest growing bands in modern post-punk. TRAITRS, consisting of Sean-Patrick Nolan and Shawn Tucker, formed in the summer of 2015 in Toronto, Canada. The duo recorded demos with producer Josh Korody (Nailbiter, F*cked Up, Japandroids, Dilly Dally), and caught the attention of Pleasence Records CEO James Lindsay, subsequently releasing their debut cassette “Rites And Ritual” in April 2016. After gaining attention in the European and North American music scenes, TRAITRS released their critically acclaimed LP “Butcher’s Coin” (Pleasence Records, Manic Depression Records, Alchera Visions) in May 2018. Backed by the strength of their first single ‘Thin Flesh’, the duo embarked on a series of overseas tours, performing in over a dozen countries including Wave Gothic Treffen, Castle Party, Extramuralhas, Nocturnal Culture Night, Wavefest, Canadian Music Week and Pop! Montreal. They caught the attention of Schubert Music Publishing’s Thomas Thyssen and Eric Burton, and in October 2020 they announced that TRAITRS would be the first signing to their brand new label Freakwave Records.
SHADOWPLAY (SE) – Shadowplay started in Stockholm as a cover band that only played songs by Sisters of Mercy, The Cure, Siouxie and the Banshees, Killing Joke, Joy Division, Cocteau Twins etc. They wanted to do their own interpretations, so they decided to do it with electronic backgrounds – which many British bands also did during that period. After a while they discovered that it is much more fun to make their own material. Nowadays Shadowplay only plays their own material within the same genre. The band consists of Bengt Alm on guitar and Micke Wall on guitar, vocals and programming.
