Salad – Absurdity

It’s been some time since we had our weekly encounters with Salad. More or less accidentally we had the chance to catch up on the latest news. We talked with Marijne over the phone. What happened in between records? MARIJNE: Oh, we toured most of the time. And then there were many love-triangle things going…

Seahorses – Distortion is fine

The tension was great. What could there be after the Stone Roses? Many were guessing that guitar-player John would be the only one with enough creativity to pull something off on his own. The debut album of the Seahorses proves them right so far. Without dwelling on the matter of the Stone Roses too much,…

Fluffy – The genuine idea of guitars and rock bands

Fluffy is my kind of All-Girl-Band. Not (only) for the obvious reasons, though. Because Fluffy kick ass – musically speaking. They are a damned fine rockband. Period. However, they seemed to have had their share of the more „obvious“ encounters, because they seemed to be a little bit too defensive, constantly opposing questions I hadn’t…

Samba – to be announced

Die neue Platte von Samba heißt allen ernstes „t.b.a.“ – das ist Branchenslang für „to be announced“ und wird gemeinhin verwendet, solange der Titel der Platte noch nicht feststeht. Was soll’n das? KNUT: Das hat sich so entwickelt. Eine richtige Interpretation, mit der wir gar nicht gerechnet haben, haben wir auch schon erhalten. Es wurde…

Veruca Salt – Into our arms

Nina and Louise are fond of sweet things. Before the interview can start, the manager is sent away to buy some candy. When I enter the room, Nina and Louise lie in each others arms, cuddling. Should this be a hint towards their new CD „Eight Arms To Hold You“? This new record sounds a…

Gallon Drunk – Tension and Melody

Gallon Drunk’s last effort, „In The Long Still Night“ came quite as a surprise. Whereas Gallon Drunk’s earlier recordings were more in the line of Jon Spencer’s swamp-blues-explosions than your average B**tpop-experience. However, on „Night“ all that seems to change. Suddenly there’s subtlety and melody – not that the energy is lost. What exactly did…

Bis – Fun

Who are Bis? What are Bis? Questions which seem to be of only relative importance to the members of everyone’s favourite flavour of the month. Although they seem to be pretty much in touch with reality, they do not take themselves or their music too seriously. Fun being the keyword here. They are children of…
