About the artists:

Cat Rapes Dog (SE) - This year, Cat Rapes Dog is playing at the Wave Goth Treffen in Leipzig for the first time in 20 years, and it was also just as long since they played live here in Stockholm, then at the Tinnitus festival at Elverket and at Kolingsborg. Cat Rapes Dog (CRD) is a Swedish electropunk, EBM and heavy metal band, formed in 1984 by Joel Rydström and Magnus Fransson. Annelie Bertilsson joined the band in 1990 before the 12" "Fundamental" and became a permanent member after this. Cat Rapes Dog's album debut was with "Maximum Overdrive" in 1989, which the following year received its sequel with "God, Guns & Gasoline". Initially, the band themselves released a number of albums on cassette (then a trend followed by many independent acts of their type), plus a cassette album and vinyl singles on Swedish label Front Music Production. Between 1989 and 1991, CRD released three studio albums on KK Records, a Belgian independent record label specializing in New Beat, EBM & Industrial (Frontline Assembly/Vomito Negro etc) and released over 300 titles between 1987 and 1996. Several CRD albums were later released on Swedish Energy Records (Die Krupps/VNV Nation/Front 242 etc) and Subspace Communications (Covenant/Apoptygma Berzerk etc) and most recently on Artoffact Records in Toronto, Canada (2013). The band made their big breakthrough in 1993 with "Moosehair Underwear", which was produced by Die Krupps duo Jürgen Engler and Chris Lietz in their famous Atom H studio. During the recordings of the sequel "Biodegradable" (1995), the original singer Joel Rydstöm unexpectedly left the band, which led to an almost three-year break before returning in 1998 with "The Secrets of God" with the new singer John Wreibo Lindqwister and the new member Jonas Avertoft after that they also made a record label change from Energy Rekords to SubSpace Communications. 

The Guilt (SE) - The Guilt is an odd concept of danceable melodies and punk, combined in a sweaty live show. It's heavy vocals, simple beats and guitar strumming. Emma (vocals) and Tobias (guitars and beats) play loud and simple, anywhere, anytime. You want to dance and scream. You want The Guilt. Emma and Tobias live in Malmö, but it all started in Helsingborg, with an overwhelming need to play loud and simple. In 2012 The Guilt played their first gig and since then they have continued. The simple setup has made it possible to serve up punk rock disco in lounge bars, galleries, apartments, offices, barns and arenas across Europe. In 2015 The Guilt released their first EP called "Die" on Heptown Records and in 2016 on Suicide Records the single "Dance to the Revolution" was released. The song was inspired by the Emma Goldman quote "If I can't dance, it's not my revolution", in times when it's more than important to do both.
