BSÍ is made up of best friends Silla Thorarensen and Julius Pollux Rothlaender. They use their voice, they play drums, bass guitar, and some keyboards with their toes. “riot grrrl lofi-cute-punk” is what someone said.
BSÍ is named after Reykjavík's central bus terminal, honouring the most miserable location you can find in all of Iceland. Silla and Julius try to not take themselves too seriously, unafraid to embrace their self-doubts and just do and be what- or however they feel.
BSÍ's debut album 'Sometimes depressed ... but always antifascist'... blablabla kkkrrrrrr zzzzzzzz – oh, sorry, I just fell asleep when reaching the passage that mentions the band's oh so important achievements and how great their music is - are you ok with just skipping that?
In 2025, BSÍ will release new music, something slow maybe, or loud, or summerlike?
Some miserable icelandic fascists hate this band, everyone else loves them!
Kill them with kindness!
Let's share a moment and have some fun.

13YC aka 13 Year Cicada are 3 friends who all play samplers plus instruments. Philip plays drums plus sampler, Hotti plays bass plus sampler, Zooey plays keys/sings plus sampler. Their journey as a band reaches back seven years, and their jelling as human and musical collaborators promises many more to come.
All three musicians have a background in jazz which they managed to escape quite early on in their careers - not because they lack the love for the genre but because becoming a part of a less elitist and more diy scene seemed important (ok, also sometimes moshpits are just more fun than chairs). In 2017, with their first album 'Totem Tongue' they found a beautiful home in Gandula records (Barcelona), proud to share a roster with bands as great as ZA!. They followed up with their second album '00YES' in 2019 and released a single in collaboration with Berlin underground label tomatenplatten ('Fourtrack Mind Vol. 3') in 2021. Throughout these years they got massive help in touring possibilities from both Gandula and tomatenplatten and also the wonderful
family of Blaublau Records from Bern/Zurich. 13YC have so far toured Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Finland, Croatia, Italy, Czech Republic, France and have some beautiful tour plans for 2022 lined up.
13YC are constantly on the quest to minimize power dynamics, starting with their own way of working. If people could get rid of the divine right of kings, just think what we could do 13 years from now?
'haha gravity' is their third studio album, released in a triangle collaboration between Gandula, tomatenplatten and Blaublau Records.
