Dole and Sascha formed the band in 2001. In the last years we played more than 100 shows all over Europe and met a lot of cool people, bands and girls ;-)
We released two longplayer, two singles and took place on a lot of compilations.
How would you describe your music?
Pure punkrock deep from our hearts.
What are your influences?
Everyone of us has different influences and we mix it all together. Dole loves bands like Social Distortion, U.S. Bombs, The Forgotten and stuff like that. Sascha prefers Bonecrusher, Cock Sparrer but Guns�n� Roses, Metallica and Sepultura as well. Hannes is listening to Psychobillymusic and old punk stuff. Schorse prefers Rockabillymusic, Rock�n�Roll and Metal.
Which football team do you support?
What a question!! HANNOVER 96 !!!
Your plans for the future (gigs, new album�)?
To have fun together, travel round the world and met more great people from all the different countries.
This year we want to release a Split EP and we�re working on a Tribute EP/CD to our footballclub Hannover 96.
The next longplayer will be released in 2008.
What do you think of politics (right-wing or left-wing) ?
Fuck off politics! But: �Love music � Hate fascism!!!�
What do you think of the scene today?
We still love our way of life. But nevertheless are there a lot of things which are going the wrong way in our �scene�. Right-wing bastards who call themselves Skinhead on the one site and left-wing do-gooders who think they are the scene police on the other one. You can see more and more of these people on punk shows. But anyway, there are so many great bands, clubs, labels, zines and people all over the world who keep the scene alive.
Any last words?
