The synthpunk group Folke Westside is a must-see. With just bass, drums and synth, the band manages to get their tracks laser-etched into the listener's brain. They are a refreshingly new blend of punk, synthpop and sports gear topped with an attitude to be afraid of.

Happy Family for Life! We have been drinking together for a decade, so there was no way to break this trio. However, we gave it a shot by forming the most unpleasant punk band of all time. Do not ask how many record companies have told us that we are doing it wrong, do not ask how much this has cost us, and do not ask why our parents won't call us anymore. Come to our shows and you will understand.

We are not there to do shit that has already been done. We came up with something new and pushed the pedal to the metal on a one-way street. With intoxicated brains and no brakes, safe landing is not an option.

Do or die. Folke Westside.
