  (Zürich\, CH)</p><p><strong>The Secret French Postcards</strong> - Formed 
 in 2016\, the band channels the raw energy of punk\, the ethereal depth of 
 post-punk\, and the dark romanticism of early ’80s new wave and goth.</p><p
 >Led by Olli Ohlander (vocals)\, with Peter Björkman (guitar)\, Martin Brom
 an (bass)\, and Fredrik Ringvall (drums)\, The Secret French Postcards weav
 e soundscapes that are romantic\, pale\, and dark — echoing lost memories a
 nd nocturnal longing.</p><p>After a hiatus spent nurturing Sweden’s local s
 kate scene\, Olli returned to music\, reigniting his creative fire with his
  bandmates. Together\, they’ve built a sound that feels at once nostalgic a
 nd vital\, shimmering between melancholy and defiance.</p><p>Their discogra
 phy traces a journey through the shadows — from their debut Les Éditions Os
 tra to their latest release Life Got Claws — each record deepening their so
 nic signature.</p><p>With releases on Backmask Records and Cold Transmissio
 n\, The Secret French Postcards have become a name synonymous with emotive\
 , cinematic dark wave.</p><p>Now\, as they prepare to take their electrifyi
 ng sound from the studio to the stage\, The Secret French Postcards invite 
 audiences to step into their world — where passion meets shadow and beauty 
 haunts every note.</p><p>“A dark\, cinematic journey through emotion and me
 mory — where each song feels like a love letter from the shadows.” — Cold T
 ransmission Music</p><p>“Sweden’s finest export in modern post-punk melanch
 oly.” — Backmask Records</p><p><strong>Incirrina</strong> is a dark electro
 nic/minimal synth duo based in Athens\, Greece. They have appeared in sever
