With their emotive melodies, driving rhythms, angular guitars, and dark cinematic electronics, TRAITRS has quickly become one of modern post-punk’s fastest growing bands. TRAITRS, consisting of Sean-Patrick Nolan and Shawn Tucker, formed in the summer of 2015 in Toronto, Canada.

Recording demos with producer Josh Korody (Nailbiter, F*cked Up, Japandroids, Dilly Dally), the duo caught the attention of Pleasence Records label head James Lindsay and subsequently released 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 first single ‘Thin Flesh’, the duo embarked on a series of tours abroad, 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 TRAITRS as the first signing to their brand new label Freakwave Records.

Abus Lang emerged from the remains of the once celebrated Swedish indie act Eldoradio. The idea behind Abus Lang was to immerse themselves in different tonalities within the context of indie and punk rock. The duo quickly developed a passion for synths and discovered the limitless sonic possibilities they could bring to their music, but still with a firm grip on their beloved guitar lines.

Drawing inspiration from iconic scenes such as the early London punk scene, The Hacienda in Manchester, and the American goth scene of 90s New York, Abus Lang’s music paints a vivid and accurate picture. Their sound has been described as a fresh, ethereal and poignant tribute to Gothenburg’s musical heritage, with influences from acts such as Lust For Youth and The Tough Alliance.
