CHIFF CHAFFS - garage punk from Belgium
Chiff Chaffs are a Belgian band based in Courtrai and Tournai, consisting of Gilles 'King Rat' Deschamps, Autys Toxico, Jantie Flyer and Nolf Kaka. Formed in mid 2020 during the pandemic and various lockdowns, the band has had time to develop a unique and distinctive sound that will appeal to many people in the underground circuit.
The band members all come from very different musical backgrounds, but once they started playing together they found that it meshed so well and sounded unique, even though the main idea was to make raw 60s punk, chopped up with instrumentals and hipshakin' tracks from the 50s. The result is music that is an eclectic mix, ranging from breakneck speeds to broken-hearted beats, from raw instrumentals to multi-voiced screams, going from sad to angry to ectatic in less than 60 seconds.
Chiff Chaffs released a 7" EP on Hopvil Records (BE) in 2021, and a year later, in 2022, the first debut album saw the light of day on Trashwax Records (NL), which is now in its second pressing (sold out in about 5 weeks and is the fastest selling item in the label's back catalogue). This year two tracks from the album were released on a Hyperloop Records (UK) 7". It was released in a packed cinema. It was accompanied by 2 full animated video clips and extra visuals on the big screen during a live gig. The single received airplay on the BBC, twice on Spanish National Radio and on New York City FM radio, curated by Howard Thompson (Howard has made records with Adam & the Ants, Alan Vega, Eddie & the Hot Rods, Motörhead, Roky Erickson & the Aliens,...). This year, in 2024, a brand new maxi 12" EP with 4 new tracks recorded at Swampland Studio in Toulouse will be released on Trashwax Records.
Chiff Chaffs had the chance to play a lot of gigs in Belgium as support for bands like Batmobile, Reverend Beat-Man, Restless, The Cavemen, Nestter Donuts, Guana Batz,... and already played a few times outside Belgium and on festivals in neighbouring countries (France, Netherlands, Germany, We're Loud Festival Italy...).

THE JUNGO SWANK - big organ beat garage rock 'n' soul from Los Angeles
The Jungo Swank delivers a searing garage rock ‘n’ soul experience that revels in live performance. On their stage, shimmering tremolo riffs and swaggering organ melodies stomp to big beat rhythms and chattering maracas. Soulful vocals push their unique brand of Gun Club gospel to spiritual highs and beautiful lows.
Chaotic while in control, crude but reverent, the quartet’s percussion-heavy sound is brewed in the fiery streets of the Los Angeles underground – where energy is currency and variety is the daily special. Musical currents from New Orleans, Berlin, Mexico, Brazil, Texas, and Cuba swirl into a rocking shower of sound that revives the original spirit of R&B under a downpour of California fuzz. Hot off the release of their debut seven-inch “Wildfire”, The Jungo Swank’s travels on record and road are only just beginning.
