Just announced: Excide and Hollow Suns will be playing Utrecht this summer!

Silent Call Collective presents:

𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲
Excide eclipse the constraints of era, genre, and vibe, blurring the lines between basement-born hardcore, fuzzed-out nineties alternative, and future-facing rock. Galvanized by an instinctual inclination towards unpredictability, they never compromise pit-splitting intensity for rafter-reaching melody, opting to effortlessly co-mingle both instead. As such, they make heavy music with the potential to reach the masses without pandering.

𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝘀
Formed in Tokyo in 2014, HOLLOW SUNS quickly gained attention with the self-released 3-song EP Hollow Suns in 2015. Following the release of their most recent EP titled FREE FALL, mixed and mastered by Will Yip, they toured the US with Rival Schools, Japan with The Story So Far, and played festivals like The Fest in Florida and LTC Fest in Virginia. Partnering now with LAST RIDE RECORDS (Australia), alongside ICE GRILL$ and SUNDAY DRIVE RECORDS, the band is expanding its global presence.

Arda and the Giannena is a traditional Middle Eastern, Balkan, Greek, Ottoman music band with a new and revolutionary touch and style. The traditional aspects such as the Davul and the Ud that come from the Eastern Music Style mixed with the Guitar from the West create an intriguing sound. Merging the eastern melodies with the microtonal aspects and the western equal-temperament harmony system, the band focuses on taking a deep look at the possibilities these two different cultures can bring to the over all unity of music. Arda and the Giannena explores the world of electronic music and uses it in their music as well. Founded in 2021, the band has played many gigs, including venues like Tivoli Vredenburgh and many other places.

This time, we’ve got some special guests Tasos Kofodimos from Gidiki and Yvonne Melissa joining them on stage, so don’t miss out on the chance to see them perform!
