what people have said about schande:
"Schande's side is not unlike Cat Power, but the vocals sound even more exotically fragile (in an emotional sense) than Chan Marshalls. But it should be mentioned that the main riff of Dig the Halo is pretty goddamn addictive, so if youre susceptible to this kind of stuff, beware." - Byron Coley, Wire (re: split 7" with The Cribs)
"The kind of American music I lurve. Effortless cool, smart n slinky guitars underpinned with a minimalist rhythm section thats sooo on the money. Now, top all this off with sweetly snarling Voice of the Beehive type pure pop vox and you got yourself a rekkid. Top fucking noise and no mistake." - Unpeeled (UK)
"This was a band with a big instrumental presence, the kind of textural sonics that Grandaddy does so well, or perhaps a bit like those long and winding intros that The Cure used to do at their peak. As the set progressed, a sort of hypnotic ambience took over, courtesy of the effective instrumentalism, and Jens vocals I would have been perfectly happy to listen to the Schande for the rest of the night." - Moles Club, Bath, UK (Live Review)
"Their full-length, I Scored an Ocean (self-released), has all of Schande’s thoughtful catchiness on full display. There are guitar hooks galore, as the two guitars play parts that sometimes interlock and sometimes oppose each other, creating the type of melodies that stay with you for days, endlessly repeating in your head and – unless you’re a cold-hearted, jaded-as-hell son of a bitch – make your head nod every time. Punky riffs of the jangly and buzzing varieties are in abundance as well, injecting the perfect dose of rockin-out to balance the more angular and edgy parts." - Mike G., Wiretapmusic.com
"I have no penis" - Random woman on the street
