Apron (looking for brand new bassist)

Violence is our Art, Crosscore our Sound

About Me

Apron, thats simply joie de vivre for me. The freedom to be just how the fuck you want to be. There are no boundaries. , says Thomy Bambuch with the eyes of a little sunshine and a most thrillingly hideous smile, that he tries to hide. In vain. Accordingly, he did not just talk about a brand new compact car but about his band Apron, a five-headed Crosscore-monster from Bavaria, Germany. Thomy, he is the front man(-iac), singer and shouter who now willingly explains the name of his band to us: An Apron can be found in every household. Its something that keeps away the dirt. Everyones got one and so does everyone have his tricks to keep his white vest nice and clean. What kind of music does the band with this sociocritical name make? Crosscore, as already mentioned is Aprons very own and specially branded musical niche. A blend of the straightforwardness and force of Crossover and the brutality and recklessness of Hardcore, thats what were doing!, bassist Andreas Ortanderl puts forward. His brother and Apron guitarist Johannes nods: We simply see no reason why we should restrain ourselves or our music. If we want to play a Blues riff or a Bossa Nova beat we just fucking do it and at the end of the day we create unusual but unique songs. Five of these hard, however gracious tracks are finally available on CD now: On Aprons first official release, named The Broken Child-EP. On this record the listener gets a taste of the enormous bandwidth this group actually has. Furthermore it illustrates quite fittingly what happens once Apron step on stage: a burst of pure energy and raw commitment or better utter exploitation of the musicians bodies. But lets listen to what guitarist Michael Hofstetter has to say: Every time we play live, and you see people how they freak out together with us while were playing our music, this confirms that an important part of Apron is being understood. Indulge yourself in an hour of Apron; scream as loud as you can, let off some steam, after that youll feel a lot better. Hard music and extreme live shows are two important features in the philosophy of Apron: Violence is our Art, drummer Andy Kuhn grins perfidiously, all this shouting, all this noise, all this energy are part of our very sophisticated interpretation of violence. Our music has nothing to do with brainless raucous bawling or senseless beating-the-crap out of our instruments. Apron are brutal, no doubt about that. But that is more in the sense of maybe Alex De Large in Anthony Burgess A Clockwork Orange, who doubtlessly is everything but a dull hooligan. Were on our way now, Thomy Bambuch concludes the conversation, and were not going to let anyone stand in our way. Look out for this band, so raw and loud, stomping and quivering, morbid and beautiful, sweet and evil. Apron is coming to get you!Text: George Fisher, freelance music journalist
