Formed in late 2022, they self-released their debut EP Première Pierre on cassette in 2023 and quickly took to the road, playing shows across Europe. Two years later, they return with Interlude, mixed and mastered by Kevin Gumz, and notably the last release to feature drummer Opal.
While often labeled as riot grrrl, Trholz operate at a slower, more oppressive frequency than the genre’s usual urgency. Their sound leans toward eerie post-punk and noise-drenched minimalism, stretching long enough to burst from drawls into screams and growls. This recalls a distant, emotionally detached Sleater-Kinney, filtered through Slint’s tension and restraint, if both were queerer, angrier, and less interested in catharsis. This is protest music that burn slowly rather than explodes.

They have made a name for themselves in local D.I.Y circles for immaculate vibes and energetic performances. This Show will be the release of their brandnew EP-which we are anxiously awaiting.

Molotov cunts are a Girl Punk Band from Lucerne, bringing some spice into the music scene with punky riffs, raw emotions and female energy. Relentlessly giging the local underground, they are carving out a name for themselves and we are excited to have them on this bill :)
