BAITS oscillate between punk energy, pop instinct, and the sweaty charm of the ’90s – raw,
melodic, and always a little unpredictable, driven by rough edges placed with intent.
With tracks like “Sleep with You” and “Take Me Out” they haven’t just conquered Austrian
radio station FM4, but also found their way onto international playlists and even the big
screen (MOND, 2024, directed by Kurdwin Ayub). After their uncompromising debut Never
Enough (2021), their latest acclaimed album All Filler No Killer (2024) followed – a record
that not only sounds incredible, but also never gets dull. On stage, BAITS deliver an intense
experience every time – more like a cathartic outburst than punk rock routine. Carried by
Sonja Maier’s powerful, emotionally charged vocals, BAITS’ music blends anger with
melancholy, pulsing with an overwhelming energy that recalls iconic acts like @The Distillers,
@Pixies, @PJHarvey, and a hint of @JayReatard.
They’ve proven this over the past years on around 200 stages all across Europe (AT, DE,
CH, FR, NL, IT, CZ, SK, HU). In recognition of their impact, BAITS were nominated for the
Austrian Amadeus Music Award in the Hard/Heavy category in both 2024 and 2025.
Currently, the band is working on fresh material with a new line-up, aiming to turn things up
even louder in 2026.
