Idyll - Voyeur

 

Instagram - Facebook - Bandcamp - Spotify

Idyll are a four-piece hardcore band out of Lüdenscheid, Germany, and they've been putting out solid stuff since their first demos back in 2020. They share members with the post-hardcore band Akela from the same city. They sit somewhere in the hardcore /s creamo space, though the band themselves seem to shrug at labels. Their Instagram bio just says "probably post-hardcore." Their newest release, Voyeur, dropped in August 2025 as a five-track EP, though it just showed up on Bandcamp.

FFO:  State Faults, Massa Nera, Respire, Raein

Sumu - Self Titled

 

Rec'd this one in my inbox the other day, from the email: "We, Sumu, from Tampere, Finland deliver you the most aggressive and the most fresh hardcore punk around. We like to call our music “sotecore” (social and healthcare in Finnish), because we all have worked in social and healthcare for years and we channel our experiences and frustration from the work field in our songs.  We released our eponymous EP in December 2024 and it includes four songs in Finnish. The songs tell you a story about the collapse of Finnish social and healthcare, our frustration against the raging wars, the crooked relationship between humans & nature, and last but not the least, about the increasing indifference in our society caused by our right-wing government and their decisions. All this in just under nine minutes."
