About Me

founded 1995 the band started as a german-singing quartet, trying to interpret the own understanding of indie-noise-pop, resulting in 1996 and 1998 4 track eps.

after the split from two members njatr moved to bielefeld, integrating tom and markus, disintegrating the old sound.

between melancholy and aggresion, the remainig room is used as a reminiscence to the wall of sound of the late 80s, early 90s independent and newer influences from post-rock and pop, leading to some sort of everything at once and really loud. playing with disharmony, switching between soft and loud, between reserved and noisy, always tending to drama. hiding melodies in noise, building a space where beauty and uglyness melt into each other the consequence rocks.

period

after markus departed for finding fullfillment in emo, erik had to quit the joy of making music due to problems with his ears.

randy joined as our new drummer bringing a groove-oriented srangeness to our sound.

we decided to be 3.
we decided to be much more down to earth, and less head driven.

what you hear is some of the old stuff, but new demos are on the way...
