Kissin Dynamites
Founded in 2007, German heavy metal formation KISSIN’ DYNAMITE have made more than just a name for themselves in the scene: With six studio albums and various chart entries (#7 on the GER album charts with their full-length Ecstasy in 2018), the band established their trademark style - characterized by modern sound, massive anthems and catchy hooks paired with an 80s stadium rock attitude and eccentric look. Now, the five piece is ready to release their Napalm Records debut, Not The End Of The Road, and usher in heavy metal in 2022! To shorten the time until the upcoming album, KISSIN’ DYNAMITE have already released a first track and harbinger of the new record, entitled "Not The End Of The Road", along with an official music video. Their guitar driven sound meets crushing, catchy vocals that easily compete with genre greats and already offers a first glimpse of the band's intoxicating character!

Daxx & Roxane
Daxx & Roxane are a ‘full-throttle’ 4 piece rock n’ roll band originating from Switzerland, now based in London (UK). Citing Led Zeppelin, AC/DC and Mötley Crüe as key influences, it’s no wonder that Kerrang! Magazine has hailed them as “tooth-and-nail, testosterone-powered rock.”. Their philosophy “Rock ’n’ Roll is all about energy. All about creating an adrenaline rush” is reflected in their intense live shows. Their commitment to writing songs with killer riffs that grab you and refuse to let go, and huge chorus hooks that mark them as instant classics, is reflected in their highly praised debut album, ‘Ticket to Rock’. Their second studio album, rightfully self-titled ‘Daxx & Roxane’, showed the world they have what it takes to continue on the right tracks. Released in the middle of the world’s lockdown, it ended up on many shelves around the globe, from the UK to Japan, from Australia to the USA. Daxx & Roxane are : Cedric Pfister – Vocals & Bass, Cal Wymann – Lead Guitar, Luca Senaldi – Drums, Simon Golaz – Rhythm Guitar & Harmonica. The track Broken in particular feels like it has a Scorpions influence.
