World’s Appreciated Kitsch & OCCII present: RED DONS (US) + LEAVERS

RED DONS (Portland, USA)
The WIPERS of the 21st century? Maybe.
In any case, RED DONS from Portland, Oregon, are among the best punk bands of the last two decades. Their sound blends great, dark punk with post-punk and garage elements.
Despite melancholic nuances, there’s always plenty of room for poppy edges and upbeat, captivating melodies that immediately catch your ear. Hit after hit!
Their album FAKE MEETS FAILURE celebrates its 15th anniversary this year, reason enough to repress the record and tour Europe!

LEAVERS (Utrecht, NL)

Imagine a bunch of Utrecht doomtown punks, bound together by their affection for Wipers, trying to show their love for postpunk. Too punk to sound like Joy Division, too wave to sound like all punkbands you know. With current and ex-members of Antillectual, Smash The Statues and Gwladys Street, Leavers plays postpunk with an edge. Melancholic sounds accompanied by themes about disappointments, despair and fading to grey.
