Crunch Tapes & Positive Transmitter present: DEAFDEAFDEAF (UK) + TRISTESSE • DEAFDEAFDEAF are an independent band from Greater Manchester, UK, blending shoegaze, feedback-heavy post-punk, noise rock, and raw emotional intensity into a sound that feels both chaotic and deeply atmospheric. Known for explosive live performances and crushing walls of sound, the band have quickly built a reputation as one of the most exciting new names in the UK underground. Their music balances abrasive noise with vulnerable melancholy, drawing comparisons to Manchester’s rich alternative legacy while carving out a distinctly modern identity of their own. Louder Than War described the band as “a mile away from the average indie bollocks and a marker for the Next Next Wave,” while VOICE praised their live shows for their “chaos and intensity that has to be experienced firsthand.” • TRISTESSE is a Berlin-based band blending indie rock, shoegaze, and dreampop into a spacious, atmospheric sound. Reverb-drenched vocals, dreamy guitars, and steady rhythms create a mood that’s both melancholic and immersive. Presented by Positive Transmitter. This is an 18+ event
