Nothing Works + Static Vision + Undertone - Silent Call Collective presents
Nothing Works (DE)
Nothing Works, formed in late 2022, has quickly established itself as one of the
most exciting new bands to emerge from Berlin’s underground. Drawing on ’90s
indie and alternative while embracing the urgency of modern post-hardcore, the
band pairs emotionally charged songwriting with uncompromising political lyrics
and an explosive live set.
Their debut EP, Bold Talk for a Burner Account, introduced the band’s blend of
emotionally charged post-hardcore and socially conscious songwriting. Now they
will release their second EP, Some Folks Are Getting Way Too Comfortable, in
August 2026. Across four new tracks, the band tackles gender-based violence,
racial microaggressions, xenophobia in Germany and the climate crisis, asking a
simple but uncomfortable question: what happens when society becomes comfortable
with injustice?
Despite being a relatively young band, Nothing Works has already shared stages
with international acts from Austria, Canada, Germany, Mexico, Peru and the
United States, including CURB, Punitive Damage, Shoreline, Girls Go Ska, Dry
Socket and Tomar Control.

Static Vision (BE)
Hailing from the heart of Kortrijk, Belgium, Static Vision is a relentless
hardcore force. Their sound reflects the intensity and authenticity of hardcore,
blending aggression with melody and raw emotion. Their 2025 EP Through Different
Eyes, released on Genet Records (EU) and 51st State Records (USA), deals with
the struggles of everyday life, conveying a sense of urgency and resilience that
resonates with hardcore fans worldwide.
After a release show for the EP at Ieperfest and a weekend run with Hell Can
Wait in England, Static Vision took time to reflect on how they wanted to evolve
further. They chose to move forward with two guitarists to incorporate more
emotion and melody into their music, drawing inspiration from bands like Love
Letter and Modern Life Is War. After a six-month break, the band is once again
ready to play shows and present their renewed sound to the world.
FFO: Modern Life Is War, Incendiary, Love Letter

Undertone
Undertone is a hardcore punk band from Hengelo, the Netherlands, with an
explicitly anti-capitalist and anti-fascist perspective. Rather than providing
an outlet for frustration, the band aims to ignite and collectivise anger
towards capitalist society, turning individual discontent into collective
consciousness and contributing to solidarity and the emancipation of the working
class.
FFO: Backtrack, Peace Of Mind
