MODECENTER, HELLA COMET

serve a dose of highly effective European crisis-rock. Hannes Gruber, Dieter Kienast und Michael Schneeberger dig into the raw musical energy of both minimalistic and megalomaniac noisy post-punk that doesn't want to be held back by any set beliefs or ideologies.

Dense walls of guitar sounds and the ethereal vocals of bass player Lea Sonnek – the comparison with Sonic Youth suggests itself, shoegaze elements are also undeniable. But this doesn’t quite describe it all: the music of the Austrian band also draws inspiration from various post-rock acts of the 1990s, as can be deduced from song lengths beyond seven minutes and cunning drum beats.
