Updated: Jul 5, 2023


Kill The Action pre-saved single now available

New face on the three hills

Unfortunately today's debut EP launch of this Gozitan band had to be postponed due to bad weather and whilst we wait for a new date here's some information about Krejon:

Mario and Manuel, brothers and guitarists, are the original members and founders of the band. They drew inspiration from instrumental guitar music and embarked on a journey of writing instrumental pieces and songs together. As their repertoire grew, Christopher became a valuable addition to the band, initially as a percussionist and later as the drummer. Subsequently, Alan joined the group, filling the role of the bassist. Thus, in mid-2021, the band solidified into a four-piece ensemble. Their inaugural performance took place in December of the same year. Following a series of successful gigs, the band contemplated diversifying their sound by incorporating additional instruments. Several months later, keyboardist Steve joined Krejon, completing the lineup.

News In Brief


  • Sludge/stoner band Lady Lizard have just wraped up recording their debut full length album, which follows their self-titled EP released in October 2018. Recordings were done at Cornerhouse studios with Daniel Bezzina (Slit / A Broken Design) and Luke Grech (Relikc).

More info regarding release and gigs in the days to come.

  • In the meantime Luke has also just released tunes under the moniker Greck:

'Avocado Macchiato' feat. Rob Chapman can be viewed here while Garden Groove can be seen here.


  • On Friday 19th May The Areola Treat released yet another new song titled 'Deserter', which can be listened here.

A fun-loving punk rock/garage rock anthem. Rhythmic bass, distorted guitars, female vocals that remind one of Siouxsie Sioux and inspired by The Saints. Having a penchant for destruction, our clumsy subject is both a mascot for freedom and a loser in the modern world. But the deserter is set to be ahead of the game.
