the lipstick durability test

I find it surprising that a German band is capable of surpassing the quality of groups like The Strokes with their debut.

The music is an emotional rollercoaster. Similar to bands like The Strokes, their personal record collections range from rough Sixties punk to the New Wave of the 80s and US indie rock. However, they never lose sight of the present. The band, founded in 2001, has built a steadily growing fanbase through tours with Blackmail, Metric, Muff Potter, and their labelmates Skinny Norris. They also felt right at home sharing the stage with bands like Thermals, Kettcar, Metric, or Samiam. An emotional rollercoaster, oscillating between loud and soft tones, always within the realm of experimentation. The guys pursue their path shyly and without the dull compulsion of rock. A significant blend of pop, rock, and punk. We will definitely hear much more from this band!

So wonderfully playful yet highly meaningful, there is currently no other band that has captured the last 40 years of pop and rock quite like this. They enjoy mod and Sixties beats, glam and 80s pop, and of course, the American guitar sounds of the 90s from Seattle to Boston.
