THE SLEEVEENS (US) / THE SIDETRACKS (CH) / THE FAGS (CH)

When Irish-born Count Vaseline/The Mighty Stef songwriter Stef Murphy met Stiff Little Fingers guitar tech Jamie Mechan in Nashville, Tennessee, it began a musical partnership of the highest order. After cranking out a few tunes at Mechan’s fledgling studio, 302 Sound, the duo started recruiting other musicians. The band was rounded out by drummer Ryan Sweeney (Cheap Time) and Eli Steele (Sweet Knives.) Dubbing themselves The Sleeveens, an Irish term for a trixter, the band got to work. After recording and releasing their highly-touted “Give My Regards To The Dancing Girls” 45rpm single on Sweeney’s Sweet Time Records, they finished off their 11 track debut LP. The quartet were soon approached by longrunning punk label Dirtnap Records (Marked Men, Exploding Hearts) for the album’s 2024 release.

The Fags are a punkrock two-piece from Switzerland and they love Ramones and Queers. Since 2006 they've been coverting hipsters and other dumbasses to the orginal sound. Their latest and greatest 4 song EP contains lo-fi hardhitting poppunk tunes about girls, boys and love in general. The Fags are without a doubt the best band ever from Duggingen City! https://thefagspunk.bandcamp.com/album/totally-fucked-up
