SoftPlay

The British punk duo SOFT PLAY (formerly known as SLAVES) first made waves with their 2015 debut Are You Satisfied?, followed by Take Control and Acts Of Fear And Love. After a six-year hiatus and a new name, the pair returns with a brand-new album: Heavy Jelly. The sound is as raw and punchy as ever — and despite the name, there’s nothing soft about this duo. Opening track Punk’s Dead kicks down the door with a clear message: punk is far from dead.

On Saturday, May 24, Melkweg presents Pretty Pissed—a night full of (post-)punk in the broadest sense of the genre, as long as it’s angry! Get swept away by the energy of gritty guitars, relentless drums, and raw, heartfelt lyrics—plus, we’re not afraid to throw in some electronic beats!
