The annual Wave Gotik Treffen music festival in in Leipzig, Germany, was certainly a terrific showcase for established bands of goth/post-punk/alternative leanings but it also proved to be a great opportunity for new bands to emerge before big audiences as well.

Case in point: Holygram from Cologne, Germany, who released their self-titled debut EP on Feb. 17 via Reptile Music. Parklife DC photographer Paivi caught the band in action on June 5.

Holygram say they walk the line between new wave, post-punk, and Kraut with their debut EP, which included five original songs and four remixes. Watch the official music video for “Still There” by Holygram on YouTube:
