Ronker + Coilguns

RONKER might not be the first-ever speednoise band to exist, but they are definitely the first to coin the term. Formed in the Belgian swamplands in 2020, they have quickly become one of the fastest-rising acts in the heavy music scene. Their 2024 debut was a massive critical hit, launching them onto major stages like Hellfest and Pukkelpop, and securing support slots for the likes of The Melvins and Brutus.

Striking while the iron is hot, their sophomore LP ‘Respect The Hustle, I Won’t Be Your Dog Forever’ (2026) finds the band at their most ambitious. Recorded live, this fierce concept album tackles the frustrations of "hustle culture" through a sophisticated melting pot of David Bowie and Slayer. From the pure rage of lead single ‘No Sweat’ (praised by Metal Hammer UK) to the bleak introspection of ‘Snuff’, this is RONKER at their absolute peak. Kicking off 2026 with a SOLD-OUT Ancienne Belgique and a massive tour ahead, the dog is officially off the leash.

Emerging from the DIY hardcore scene, Switzerland’s Coilguns have spent years crafting a completely unique, explosive blend of punk and ecstatic noise-rock. The band is infamous for their raw, uncompromising, and euphoric live shows—purpose-built for dancing freaks and crowdsurfing misfits.

Their fourth studio album (released November 2024), tracked in Norway and mixed by Grammy-nominated Tom Dalgety, marked a massive turning point. It launched the band into their most extensive global tour yet, packing in over 85 relentless shows worldwide in 2025 alone.

Fueled by this unstoppable momentum, they immediately channeled that energy into writing a fifth album between tours. Recorded in the vintage-gear-packed warehouse of their own label, Humus Records, producer Scott Evans (Thrice, Neurosis) flew straight to their hometown of La Chaux-de-Fonds to capture the session. Enlisting Ben Chisholm (Chelsea Wolfe) for additional production and Tom Dalgety (Ghost, Pixies, Royal Blood) for the mix, the resulting tracks represent Coilguns at their absolute peak. Spearheaded by the fierce singles 'Peace Trader' and 'Carbon Magic', Coilguns prove they are louder, hungrier, and more vital than ever.
