screensaver (AU) + Etsamoe

Crunch Tapes & Punkfilmfest present:

• SCREENSAVER (AU)

Blending hypnotic beats, punk energy and swirling synths, screensaver channel themes of power, control and systemic failure into a dark yet danceable strain of maximalist post-punk, drawing from krautrock and new wave.

Formed in 2016 as a trans-Pacific project between Christopher Stephenson (Spray Paint, Exek) and Krystal Maynard (Bad Vision, Polo, Swim Team), the band later settled in Melbourne with a full lineup featuring members of Personal Touch and Rat Columns.

Their debut Expressions of Interest (2021) introduced the band internationally and drew support from KEXP, Maximum Rock’n’Roll and Clash. Follow-up Decent Shapes (2023) earned praise from NME, Rolling Stone Australia and Brooklyn Vegan, with the single “The Guilt” reaching the AMRAP Top 10.

Support:

• ETSAMOE

Etsamoe is a band blending alternative rock, shoegaze, and math rock into a unique and dynamic sound. Recently reunited and now calling Berlin their home, the group is bringing fresh energy and heartfelt intensity to their music, promising an exciting new chapter for both the band and the audience.
