THE LIBERATION SERVICE

"THE LIBERATION SERVICE are a folky Punkrock 5-piece from southern Austria. Formed in late 2009, they soon played their first shows and got quite around already. Each of them brought his/ her own musical experience into the band to combine all different influences in this project.
Expect some folky tunes in the vein of early Against Me! or Frank Turner and some rockier and punkier stuff as well, always accompanied by some heart-shaking sing-along phrases and well expressed political punkrock-attitude statements.
If you have the chance to, go and check them out live, since they are a blast."- Laserlife Records

REHAB NATION

REHAB NATION is a multicultural project, founded in the heart of Transylvania at the end of 2010. The band’s music is like a ticking time bomb of explosive ska-punk, reggae, gypsy and balkan rhythms, whilst their lyrics represent a “European Union” of English with Hungarian, Romanian, French and even Spanish.
The band’s debut album, International, was released in May 2011, a 100% self-produced material, all 12 songs being recorded by the band members in their own rehearsal room. They toured with the album until 2012, having played almost all over Romania, and Hungary, as well. In 2011, they’ve played at two major festivals: IRAF V (International Romani Art Festival) and Peninsula/Félsziget Festival (Sziget Festival's smaller sister). During their activity, they’ve played alongside bands like Dubioza Kolektiv, The Toasters and Anima Sound System.
In 2012 REHAB NATION has won the Battle Of The Bands organized by Transilvania Music Event, the band is confirmed again at Peninsula/Félsziget Festival, and FânFest at Roșia Montană as well; also they are planning to release their new studio EP in autumn 2012, this time with the entire line-up.
