Talvekoidik - Ambivalence

AlterNation Music Magazine — 2025-05-03T19:08:20Z

When I was a child, I was terribly afraid of the sound of airplanes. I’m not even sure why—but whenever I heard it, I would hide wherever I could, under a roof, far away from that noise. And the new (...)

Dear Deer- Les deux piliers

AlterNation Music Magazine — 2025-04-30T08:41:46Z

Some duos ride trends. Others tear through them. Dear Deer are the latter: a pair whose sound is as untamed as it is calculated, as chaotic as it is (...)

Empusae – "The Alchemist’s Rift"

AlterNation Music Magazine — 2025-04-26T09:30:47Z

AlterNation Music Magazine — 2025-04-24T10:14:27Z

I listen to a lot of new music. Some of it is great, technically — yet it leaves me untouched. Some is entirely forgettable the second it stops playing. Some aspires,(...)

AlterNation Music Magazine — 2025-04-07T08:57:01Z

NOUVELLE VAGUE to perform in Wrocław!
20 years after releasing their debut album, which has since become a classic, NOUVELLE VAGUE is back!
The French masters of musical reinterpretation will perform on April 13th at the Gothic Hall of the Old Monastery in Wrocław.
Nouvelle Vague is a French collective created and led by Marc Collin, which achieved great success with its distinctive bossa nova-style covers of iconic New Wave songs.
Bossa Nova, the Third Wave, New Wave – these are the three inspirations at the heart of Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux’s project. Drawing on punk and post-punk influences, combined with the atmosphere of bossa nova, the musicians have brilliantly redefined and refreshed the concept of the cover band.
Joy Division, Depeche Mode, The Clash, XTC, Modern English, Killing Joke, Tuxedomoon, The Cure, The Undertones, Buzzcocks, New Order, Duran Duran, Echo & The Bunnymen, Yazoo, Blondie… Nouvelle Vague’s albums and concerts feature new versions of songs by these and many other artists.
In February 2024, their latest album "Should I Stay Or Should I Go?" was released, and we’ll hear tracks from it during their concert in Wrocław. But of course, longtime fans can also expect older, well-loved hits.

13.04.2025, 7:00 PM
Gothic Hall, Old Monastery, ul. Purkyniego 1, Wrocław
Tickets:
150 PLN – First Pool
180 PLN – Seated balcony spots

Cwfen - Sorrows

AlterNation Music Magazine — 2025-04-05T09:09:11Z

There are two kinds of heavy bands: the ones that make a lot of noise and the ones that drag you somewhere you didn't know you needed to go. Cwfen (pronounced 'Coven') are the latter, and Sorrows is a record that doesn't just crush – it haunts long after the final note.

AlterNation Music Magazine — 2025-04-04T11:48:39Z
