Killed by Youth is a fresh, unconventional band from Wels, Upper Austria, which has been performing live since November 2024. With their three passionate musicians and a unique sound that is difficult to pigeonhole into a genre, they deliberately refuse to be labeled. Their roots lie in rock and grunge, but their motto is: music doesn't have to fit into a box – either you love it or you don't.
Their songs combine powerful guitar riffs, dynamic drums, and striking melodies that tell of rebellion and the pursuit of freedom. Inspired by a passion for music without boundaries, this attitude is reflected in their intense lyrics and electrifying stage presence.
After the release of their first single, I Need It Tonight, Killed by Youth have devoted themselves to releasing more songs: Pawns, a powerful punk song that uses hypnotic bass and intense vocals to critically examine loss of control and manipulation, including a music video; and I'm the One, their latest single released in May.
With their unmistakable sound and uncompromising attitude, Killed by Youth are ready to challenge and leave a lasting mark on the music world.

APEWARDS weaves a web of fuzzy blues rock, stoner grooves, and psych
rock, driven by a bottomless reservoir of riffs. The trio
recently released their fourth album, LIMINAL CHOICES (Tonzonen Records,
2025), to extremely positive reviews. The album contrasts tight and
focused songs with 70s-inspired psychedelic escapades rooted in
a loose concept inspired by the hero's journey.
Live, the Marburg band ignites a fireworks display that knows no mercy: driving
grooves, riffs drenched in pure fuzz, and a voice full of soul and energy.
This is no laid-back stoner jam. This is a precisely executed punch to the
gut. A must for fans of Audioslave, All Them Witches, or Greenleaf.
