The institution that is Dawn Of The Replicants "draw together sleazy Rolling Stones guitar grooves, the clattering racket of Sonic Youth and, bizarrely, summery pop." [Q]
“Free of mainstream influence they’re able to sway, skip and swing their own rhythm, creating beautiful widescreen masterpieces from the darker side of acid-abused pop. Way-out, man.”
[Time Out]

Main support are Pet, presenting a brand new definition of perfect sophisto-pop. They specialize in springy synths, mischievous psychedelia, sharp guitars and an irresistible quirky edge. Combine it all with addictive choruses and effortlessly radio-friendly hooks you have the perfect modern pop group - all wrapped in an ideology at once gloriously retro and spookily futuristic, therefore sounding completely modern.
Grown up pop with an electronic twist... a sparkling jewel." [Q Magazine]
"An ideal summer album." [Sunday Times]
"Lots and lots of Fun" [Jockey Slut]
First on we have Joana and The Wolf who get compared to Kate Bush/Bjork meets something between The Stooges and Led Zeppelin. Such comparisons will happen when people want to define an undefinable band. In reality it's something new and strong that needs no borders or definition; dark, stripped-down harmonic and rhythmic, expressive and raw.
They are just like wolves; very wild but very friendly.
And they dont eat people unless its a very cold winter.
