FAY CORSTJENS
You hear thunder rumbling, and know lightning is about to strike. The way you feel when you’re about to hear the song that plays at the tragic final scene of a movie. Defined by sharp guitar riffs, heavy dissonance and big dynamic changes. Combine all of that with a sea of ambience and you get Bittershade. Our sound consists mostly of gloomy alternative rock and ambient grunge, yet we don’t shy away from the occasional pop rock!

We originated as a band to help our vocalist audition for music schools, and have now transformed into a young band excited to strike the world with our music!
LABASHEEDA
Labasheeda is an idiosyncratic rocktrio from Amsterdam. Tying together two decades of adventurous, sound-evolving albums and changing lineups, Labasheeda’s music has a penchant for concise, stripped down melodies, and quick switches from spacious bass lines and drums to heavy, chaotic, and sometimes anthemic guitar driven songs. The unorthodox use of violin, the often deviating time signatures and Saskia van der Giessen’s distinctive voice give the band its unique sound.
In November 2023 Labasheeda released its sixth full-length album Blueprints, which has been has been described as an innovative post-punk masterpiece by the international press. “It’s just at the point where rock and roll tips over into noise, where melody turns into sonic soundscaping and where song structure becomes untethered and unruly, that you find Labasheeda”
