DIE ANSTALT

𝘿𝙞𝙚 𝘼𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙩 Emerging in 2023, @die.anstalt.band are a Berlin-based post-punk and minimal synth trio who quickly established themselves with a blistering fusion of early EBM, synth-punk, and classic post-punk. Their sound channels the grit and tension of 1980s industrial subcultures while feeling unmistakably contemporary. Recently signed to City Slang worldwide, the band are reissuing their independently released debut album through the label.

𝙂𝙪̈𝙣𝙚𝙧 𝙆𝙪̈𝙣𝙞𝙚𝙧 Güner Künier was born in Izmir, Turkey, in 1990 and moved at the age of three with her family to Flensburg, where she also grew up. As a teenager, she played in her first bands. After completing her studies in industrial engineering in Berlin, she devoted herself entirely to art and worked as an actress and musician. “Yaramaz” the title of her second album, is a Turkish word; translated literally, it means something like “good-for-nothing.” The term is often used towards small children when they are being cheeky and rebellious. Güner Künier named her second album “Yaramaz” to tell her own coming-of-age story through the means of punk and post-punk.

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙈𝙖𝙟𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖 The Pleasure Majenta is a South Pacific noise and experimental rock band originally formed in New Zealand, now operating out of Berlin, Germany. A band whose music can be called gothic, as the word was originally used - that is, not as something manneristic, but on the contrary - genuine, raw, scratchy, oppressive, suocating and definitely physical.
