GRAND CANADIAN INDIOSE AND SUNNY BRITISH SURFOP IN ONE EVENING
Dutch Criminal Record makes sunny indie surf full of sparkling guitars, multi-layered harmonies, and catchy melodies. The trio from Chichester, UK, combines the pop sensibility of the sixties with a modern indie and psychedelic twist, resulting in songs that call for open car windows and endless summer days. On their debut album 'Novium' (2024), the band looks back at their roots while simultaneously taking a fresh step forward. Expect an energetic mix of surf pop, indie, and shoegaze influences, delivered with the infectious live energy that Dutch Criminal Record has come to be known for.
Hotel Mira creates grand, melodic indie rock with the energy of a rock band and the sense of drama of a pop act. The Canadian band grew from raw garage rock into one of the most prominent names in the alternative rock scene, featuring compelling choruses, sharp guitar hooks, and lyrics full of self-reflection and imperfection. On their latest album 'Pity Party' (2025), Hotel Mira doesn't trade an ounce of their rock 'n' roll urgency, but adds more depth and storytelling to their sound. Influences from The Strokes, The Killers, and Iggy Pop, among others, resonate in a sound that is simultaneously vulnerable and irresistibly catchy.
