Finch and Deichkind

California emo rockers Finch, formerly Numb, broke out with the EP "Falling into Place" and hit "What It Is to Burn." Known for intense live shows and a spat with Disturbed, they collaborated with Mark Trombino and toured with RX Bandits.

Deichkind, formed in 1997 by German friends Philipp Grütering, Malte Pittner, and Buddy Buxbaum, is known for its humorous style and controversial themes. Hits like "Bon Voyage" and "Leider Geil" have achieved gold status, and slogans from their lyrics have entered common parlance in German-speaking countries. Despite lineup changes, they've released acclaimed albums such as "Arbeit Nervt." They actively engage in social debates, notably on refugee policies, under their label Sultan Günther Music.
