Noisy guitars, hammering drumgrooves, pushing basslines and sometimes even sporadic, almost sacral, organ parts are the elements which constitute the sound of Contact High. Fusing together energetic Indie-Rock of the early 2000s, grimy Alternative Rock of the 90s, cranky Post-Punk and every now and then even sluggish Stoner-Rock, Contact High are always searching for the sounds which haunt their intoxicated minds late at night. What do you call that sound? It doesn’t matter, as long as it’s loud.
Founded in 2011, they went through some line up changes, before arriving at the current and best one. 2013 they also released their debut EP called „On the Run“.

Laute Gitarrensalven, hämmernde Drumgrooves, drückende Basslines und da und dort sogar vereinzelte, fast sakral anmutende Orgelstellen sind die Elemente aus denen sich der Sound von Contact High zusammensetzt. An der Schnittstelle zwischen energischem Indie-Rock der frühen 2000er, schrummeligem Alternative-Rock der 90er, verschrobenem Post-Punk und hin und wieder sogar schleppendem Stoner-Rock suchen Contact High den Sound der spätnachts durch ihre umnebelten Köpfe geistert. Wie nennt man das? Egal, denn es ist laut.
2011 gegründet, durchlief man einige Besetzungswechsel bis man in der jetzigen Konstellation die optimale gefunden hatte. 2013 erschien außerdem die Debut-EP „On the Run“.

L4DIES is a genre fluid band project based in Graz and Vienna (Austria). The four musicians create an experimental and minimalistic sound that floats gently between electronica, soul, pop, alt-rock and folk. The band fuses charming synths with organic piano-riffs, wailing guitars, dense basslines, bouncy beats and fragile vocals. Their songs are coded stories; about expectations, about fear and hope, about love and doubt, about development and destruction.
L4DIES released their first EP “As I Speak” in 2015 and the follow-up EP “Transit” in 2017. The band’s debut album “WAIT!” will be released in April 2023.

Epitaph Records is an independent music label founded in Los Angeles by Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz. Early releases from a variety of punk heavyweights spawned what became known as the 90s punk explosion. 

Along the way Epitaph proudly launched its sister label ANTI-, representing unique and distinguished acts. From the beginning Epitaph’s mission has been to serve the musicians on its diverse and creative roster - an artist-first model, radical twenty years ago, and much imitated today.
