Schmand

being the greatest band ever to exist, the history of SCHMAND has begun in the year of 2002 as a two person project, to compensate the musical range of influences that left being unrealised within the founding members current hardcore band THE LAST ORDER.
after two years of songwriting, Simon Riedel and Andreas Gessler recorded a demo in 2004, that has been self released and passed away to friends for free.
soon Bjoern Schade - a close friend and bandmate in a stoner/sludge band called DESIATO - was forced to take over the bassplayer duties. since all of the other bands the three were included broke up, they decided to work on new SCHMAND songs on a more constantly and serious basis.
the first couple of live appearances were already made as a three-piece, when PaTrieb - former vocalist for BLINDSPOT AD - was asked for doing the vocals in SCHMAND.
being openminded, for nearly every subgenre within the hardcorepunk movement, is responsible for keeping the SCHMAND sound diverse and challanging.
both the music and the lyrix are delivered with talent and integrity - think of a musical range inspirated and influenced by bands like Converge to Neurosis, Kyuss to Turmoil, Keelhaul to Mastodon...
we are now (oct. 2007) working on our second demo and also got some detailed plans for at least 2 vinyl-outputs in 2008.
already reached the fifths year of the 10 year takeover plan for the world domination, it´s about time to intensive the life appearances of SCHMAND - so please - don´t hestitate and get in touch to book us fo a show...
