The Grindolls...
Music made by musicians, who cling to being
a fan - in spite of any urge to be genuine.
Almost a year after publishing their debut "Hate, love and greed"
(Mad Butcher/KOB Records)and after finishing a 19-day European tour, the
Ruhr-area-kickass-punkrockers now put the successing album "Kill
your darlings" (Mad Butcher / KOB Records) on the market. While their
debut has been characterized as a successful poach of "the last 25
years of Punkrock", THE GRINDOLLS went back 10 more years to create
"Kill your darlings": Besides classic punk there are influences
of glam, rock and blues shimmering through nowadays,
but there is no blind kind of imitation going - THE GRINDOLLS interpreted
these sounds in their own, winking style. Their spectrum also widened
regards content: THE GRINDOLLS address the garage-rock-ode "Weekend
schizophrenia" to weekend-loser and leisure-time-punks, sing about
the consantly decreasing social and political engagement in society ("Waiting
aside") and also throw a critical glance at the recruiting policy
of the American government ("R.A.M.B.O.").
The recording process has been supported by several friends like Christian
Kubzcak(Colt 45, Broilers, Porters), who shows his piano-skills at "Lady
Copperhead, "Settle old scores" and "Bags are packed",
and the Berlin-punkrockers of STROM, who lend their voices to put the
finishing touch to "R.A.M.B.O.". "Kill your darlings"
- an album for punks, who know how to rock, and for rockers, who discovered
their punk side.
THE GRINDOLLS enjoy the limelight. Guitars
held high - fists in the air. Their first-class live performance speaks
for itself
and it's supplemented by an unusual endorsement-deal with CHENASKI - a
gentleman's tailor!
THE GRINDOLLS feel under an obligation to their
music, their style and their fans.
