Brave Children is the supergroup formed in 2023 by Nacho García, Rita Dolores, Dani Belenguer, and Miky Llaguno, names you'll recognize from projects like St. Woods, Jack Bisonte, Alavedra, and Tiburona. With lyrics full of sarcasm, everyday mistakes, and inside jokes turned into sing-along anthems, their music is a blend of melodic alt-pop with a garage touch and catchy choruses that draw from influences like Weezer, Dominic Fike, Green Day, Wet Leg, and Ginebras, their Vanana Records colleagues. Although their carefree attitude may seem improvised, there is meticulous work behind each song. Their first EP, "Grandes Éxitos," compiles five original songs and a cover of Nino Bravo's "Un beso y una flor," where they tackle everything from heartbreak to self-destruction to unpunctuality with a unique blend of humor and authenticity. Live, their professionalism and overwhelming energy make each concert a heartfelt celebration fueled by the mutual affection that unites them.
As they themselves say: Niños Bravos, we haven't fought since 2023.

Good Franco It is the musical project led by Fran de Armas, born in Famara, Lanzarote. Their sound, defined as "spacey indie," fuses indie, funk, electronica, and rock with echoes of their Canarian and Latin American heritage, giving rise to immersive atmospheres and catchy riffs. They combine elements of indie rock, synth pop, and psychedelic dreams to make each song unique, keeping them simple and meaningful. After a solo stint, Fran teamed up with Juan Pérez (Tawant, Boreals) and Leo Segovia (US, Laiv, The Good Company) to create their first EP, released in early 2024. Now they present "No fue el verano del amor," a new single that delves into psychedelic pop, with enveloping synthesizers and a powerful bass riff, narrating a summer "almost love" in a nostalgic tone. The song, released by Millo Solo Canarias / Sony Music Spain, is accompanied by a music video directed by Richard Cavero, in which an alien and a fisherman engage in an impossible romance in the surreal landscapes of Lanzarote.
With a dance energy and an increasingly defined focus, Good Franco continues to expand his sound universe with freshness, personality and a lot of identity islander.

Las Dianas They are a Granada-based band made up of wise young women who, since the release of their first single in 2020, have cultivated a vibrant and forceful approach that fuses acid pop, luminous punk, and an irreverent attitude, charged with social criticism and feminism. In the studio and on stage, they appear self-assured, precise, rich in nuances, and constantly redefining themselves, reaffirming their place as the group you want to listen to. If the mythological resonance of their name already underlies feminist values, these take clear form in their music: determined to change the things they cannot accept, Las Dianas bluntly denounce the inequality between men and women, especially in the music industry. Their first album, Lo que te pide el cuerpo (2021), revealed surprising solidity for such a young group, while their long-awaited second album, Ya resolver mañana (Ya resolver mañana, Casa Maracas, 2024), confirms their melodic evolution, their creative ambition, and their ability to transform vulnerability into confidence.
With songs like “Imposter Syndrome,” “Putivuelta,” and “Me Jode,” Las Dianas continue to challenge expectations, celebrate diversity, and assert individual freedom with lucid, energetic, and deeply necessary discourse.

Live, they offer intense and energetic concerts, establishing themselves at important national festivals and venues, highlighting performances in front of thousands of people and a great media presence: they have been recognized with the 2022 Best New Band Award at the Canary Islands Music Awards, they reached #1 on Los 40 Canarias with "Lo Que Nunca Te Dije," and their viral video on social media reached more than 500,000 people.

Born and residing in the Embajadores neighborhood of Madrid, Toldos Verdes are four friends who met at a festival in León and decided to form a band. With a unique costumbrista aesthetic, in which they defend neighborhood culture, this new and interesting musical proposal close to rock but with an air of cockiness appears in the Madrid new wave. Their punk attitude with garage sounds and frenetic rhythms contrasts with the dancey and catchy melodies that make their live shows real parties. And that's exactly how they define themselves: kinky and romantic.
Two years after their birth, they released their first self-titled album that will take them to numerous venues and festivals in the country in 2024, including the festival where they met two years ago when they started.
Antiplankton is a rock band with electronics that builds its style
from a solid rhythmic base appealing to the primary and most essential aspects of the songs. The band is made up of Carlos Castillo (vocals, guitar, synthesizers, programming), Fabián Yanes (guitars, synthesizers, programming), Nolo Hernández (bass) and Sergio Díaz (drums, bases).
In everything Antiplankton does there is a duality. The artisan with the electronic, the popular with the experimental, the past with the present.
The Shivas are a rock & roll band from Portland, Oregon that began their journey in 2006. Since forming the band as high school best friends, they have taken their raucous dance party to nearly all 50 United States and more than 25 countries around the world.
Meanwhile, they have released 8 full-length albums, plus many EPs and singles on a variety of labels such as Tender Loving Empire, Suicide Squeeze, and K Records. The Shivas' latest release, "Alive In The World", is a full-length live album from their 2022 European tour of the same name. The live album was recorded every night for almost two months, and favorite performances were then selected, creating a track list for the album from an archive of more than 50 hours.
They claimed the right to temporary inaction as a remedy against confusion in “My Moves.” Admitting paralysis and exalted anger, they transformed indefinition into self-affirmation in “Leave me alone.” They questioned the “New ways of missing.” They examined, until they found the strength and lost desire, the extreme decay of spirit in “Afonía de alma”. It is evident that adversity awakens the talent of Friends!.
