FOTOCRIME is singer/guitarist/producer Ryan Patterson, guitarist Nick Thieneman, and bassist Will Allard. On a foundation of danceable, battle hymn drum machines and layered synths, Fotocrime is known for their transcendent electronic-meets-organic post-punk with driving bass, chiming guitars, and Patterson's unmistakable baritone.
Formed in early 2017, Fotocrime released two EPs that year, Always Hell and Always Night, followed by their first full-length album Principle Of Pain on Auxiliary/Golden Antenna in 2018. Their second and third albums, South Of Heaven (2020) and Heart Of Crime (2021), were released by Profound Lore Records and in 2022 Fotocrime self-released Alcoves, a collection of cover songs from Leonard Cohen, Portishead, Discharge, and others.
Over the past half-decade, Fotocrime has toured the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Europe multiple times over on shows and tours with Nitzer Ebb, Soft Kill, Hide, Crippled Black Phoenix, Bleakness, Russian Circles, Emma Ruth Rundle, Jawbox, Pop.1280, and Choir Boy and appeared at venerable festivals Roadburn, Amplifest, and Electric Funeral.
Fotocrime’s fourth album and first for new label home Artoffact Records, Accelerated finds the band leaping forward from their signature darkwave-leaning post-punk into new territory. The album includes electronic rock anthems, soulful sophisti-pop, minimal synth punk, hints of Italo Disco, and dreamy art rock.
The culmination of everything Fotocrime has worked toward to date, Accelerated is the sound of a genre-bending electronic-infused post-punk band at the peak of their powers.

THYMIAN effortlessly blends 80s New Wave and modern synth-pop. With recurring themes such as doubt, change, and fears, he uses his work as self-therapy to actively challenge stigmas.
While in his debut EP «THYMIAN», which was released in 2019, topics of change were the main theme. In his debut album tho, the musician deals with his fears and thoughts and dares to explore his inner world more closely. "Rhythm of Doubt" describes the phenomenon of paralysis through analysis.
“Landmarks – A Cover Collection” released in March 2022 is an homage to a selection of THYMIAN’s favourite songs which inspired him in his own musical endeavours.
«KOzmos» is the second single off the upcoming EP «WHite knuckled» which will be released on may 17th
