It's almost time for the annual meet-up of the music and tech industry in Austin nobody wants to miss. As ambassadors of good music, NBHAP is teaming up with the German representation this year, focussing on some of the country's finest new bands and artists.

Old favourites like Lykke Li, The National and Bon Iver meet beloved newcomers like Sarah Klang, Fenne Lily, Wy and Louise Lemon to celebrate life's less easier moments.

Just in time for Valentine's Day Ralph Pelleymounter and his gang deliver a fitting tune for the occasion.

Armed with a violin, her loop station, a magnificent voice and an epic story - this young lady surely got a lot to tell and deserves a closer look at the concept behind it all. NBHAP did and also debuts new music from her upcoming LP.

The acclaimed German composer presents a simple yet quite fascinating concept for the latest single off his wonderful 'Mare' album.

The restless songwriter and his band deliver an uplifting new piece of music from the anticipated debut album.

There are ups and downs in every band's career but the latter ones are way harder when your start was a furious one. And it looks like many groups from the glorious 00s indie movement are in an ongoing creative crisis.

Chet Baker, The Staves, Joan As A Police Woman and the indestructible 'Wicked Game' from Chris Isaak found their way in this quite delicate selection by the British indie institution.
