Dreamki
— DreamKi was formed in late 2008 and is a Punk/Post-Punk band from Handan. They are the melodic embodiment of The Ramones, the voice of the blue-collar youth’s dreams, and the punk alter ego of Joy Division.
They have performed at Strawberry Music Festival, Summer Carnival Music Festival, Ice Power Pioneer Competition, Yangtze River Egret Island Music Festival, and more. In 2011, they signed with Howling Records and released their debut album "Dreaming of Becoming" in August the following year.
Weave Noise
Perpetual Motion Machine
— The band was formed in early 2011, subtly incorporating various elements of traditional Chinese performance arts into their music, especially with a strong Beijing flavor. At their live shows, you can mosh, sway, dance, perform yangko, spirit possession dances, cartwheels, handstands—whatever you like. You can get lost in refined artistic ecstasy or throw left-right punches and kicks... anything goes. In their music, they capture the “soul” of China, not just its “form.”
After releasing their debut album "Apocalypse" in April 2012, they were hailed by industry critics as “the rock band with the most distinctive Beijing flavor!” and received a nomination for Best Newcomer at the 2012 Midi Awards for this album. The band plans to release a brand-new album in 2013 with even more Beijing character, titled "Executing the Yellow Robe."
Lost Train
— Lost Train was formed in June 2004. With a unique musical style, beautiful melodies, refreshing and carefree tunes, and catchy, uplifting, straightforward songs, they are widely loved by the public, especially male fans. Their music offers an escape from stress. Lost Train is one of the most noteworthy bands in the current wave of similarly styled acts.
