Post rock/post hardcore/crossover – FRANCE
First Draft is a French duo consisting of: Marine Arnoult – vocals and drums, and Clement Douam – bass, who in their own way push the boundaries of expressive perception, which, so to speak, goes beyond the forms: post rock and post hardcore approach. In their own distinctive way, they have created some kind of crossover variant, which, after one full-length and one EP release, is reflectively mirrored on their current album „An Instant Before The Promise Of Dawn“.

Bastien Pons – „Blinded“
(Self-released) 2025.
1 track song
Electronic/experimental – FRANCE
From Lyon, France comes the artist, composer, photographer, Bastian Pons, whose areas of interest touch multiple fields. He approaches his work very seriously, whether it’s black-and-white photography or musical creation, which he explores in a multilayered way. Throughout all this, his strong knowledge of the subject is evident, as well as his overall educational approach. During the previous year, he released an album featuring 7 tracks, titled „Blinded,“ with the central composition also carrying the same name. And most likely, this composition realistically describes the creative and conceptual thinking of the French artist.
