Ninamarie, the side project of Marten Ebsen (Turbostaat) and Thomas Götz (Beatsteaks), is more than a high spirits band, but of course less than a normal band. At Sylvester 2005 they were jamming around in the rehearsal room and discovered how much fun it was writing songs and playing together. After two singles and one 10” mini album we are proud to present another six new tracks which will be released on 12” vinyl and as download only. The album opener “Das Hochzeitsgeschenk” is a pop hit with a great hook line, we have songs with roaring guitars, but with melody, one with a flute (feat. Thomas’ flute teacher Mila Morgenstern), one with synthesizer and one having Masha Qrella on guest vocals. A great mix of genres: punk, power pop, NDW (Neue Deutsche Welle), indie rock and an ethno rock like instrumental. Vinyl comes with poster insert and download code!
DIVING FOR SUNKEN TREASURE are hoisting the sails again with 14 new songs on board. The journey continues where the pre-released single „Caravan“ has left us waiting: rougher, louder and more unpredictable than it´s predecessor, „Motherfucker Jazz Bar“ comes with more distortion and twangy guitars that bring Tarantino soundtracks to mind.
Stakkato drums, double bass, harmonized vocals and highspeed acoustic guitars remain the fundament of DFST´s trademark gypsy-punk sound. With intimate recordings from the belly of the whale (in this case an old brewery in Neukölln/Berlin), produced in the usual rough manner by Sebastian Kiefer, DFST leave the safe port to throw established clichées overboard. Don´t miss them on their „Motherfucker Jazz Bar Release Tour“ early this year.
Here you’ll find twelve first class Glam-Garage-Punkrock smashers by The Fume, hailing from Gothenburg/SWE. The Hives just invited them for their Scandinavian tour in April 2013. And this fits perfectly! Where The Hives rather hommage the 60s, The Fume pick up influences of Slade, Bowie, Bolan & Roxy Music. With an often slightly distorted sound, but great punch and drive, you won’t find too often nowadays. This is the ultimate soundtrack for your Rock n Roll party. Fans of Eagles of Death Metal and Turbonegro will love The Fume.
The second album of Love A contains eleven new and two older tracks (singles, that appear in new versions here), oscillating between raw German speaking punk and melodic indie rock with an influence of pop. Lyrics deal with politics, humour, cynicism and observations of daily life, somewhere between punk rock fury and being mellowed with age. The drums come straight and to the point, the non distorted guitar travels between staccato salvos and melodic excursions, the bass pushes und backs and the voice yells, sings and proclaims in German speech. With the help of Robert Whitely, Liverpool located producer (Wombats, Hot Club De Paris, Voo), recordings mirror perfectly the band’s sound which is unique and catchy at the same time. Minimalism meets melody, think of a mixture of (post-)punk, indie pop/rock and NDW (Neue Deutsche Welle). Vinyl comes with printed inner sleeves and download code.
