Emsch: We have been around since summer 2002. So soon 2 years. We all live in the same area, so we often met at parties and concerts, and when we were really bored, we started making music. Classic, I think.
Knox: Who does the songwriting in your band?
Emsch: Bene and Emsch write the lyrics, and Maddin and Querbux create the melodies. Buschi then drums along to whatever.
Knox: How would you describe your music and what is special about it?
Emsch: Well, I would say we play Deutschpunk. Some would say we play German punk with German lyrics. We find that too silly. As I said, we play Deutschpunk. What’s special about it is that we all listen to quite different music. It ranges from old German punk rock to American punk, hardcore, Oi, metal, and rock 'n' roll. I would say you can find a bit of everything in our music.
Knox: Who came up with the name Bloody Noise?
Emsch: Well, we had our first rehearsal room illegally in a youth center where we still had a key from earlier. At one of the first rehearsals, I had just had a rough weekend and was completely exhausted. Suddenly, a big vein burst in my nose, and blood sprayed all over the room. So we called ourselves Nasenblut. When we found that name too silly, we translated it (admittedly poorly) into English, and it suddenly had a different meaning, which we didn’t care about at all. I think I came up with the name.
Knox: Do you think Becks Gold tastes like beer mixed with water?
Emsch: Yep. Like cow dung?
Maddin: If someone likes it, they should drink it. I only drink it in emergencies (emergency = nothing else available ... )
Knox: Do you think your music has changed over the years?
Emsch: In the 2 years, we have hopefully become better and a bit more sophisticated.
Maddin: I think so, overall it’s not as straightforward as it was at the beginning.
Knox: Have you ever thought about playing music other than punk?
Emsch: I think so. Our guitarists would probably like to play more metal, but apart from a Black Sabbath cover, nothing has come out of that yet.
Maddin: I would definitely be up for playing a bit of metal or hardcore, but that will probably come soon ... ;-)
Knox: What was the first album you ever bought?
Emsch: Mine was "Bis zum Bitteren Ende" by die Toten Hosen.
Maddin: Bought? I think it was Die Ärzte - Live Nach uns die Sintflut.
Knox: Do you have any side projects going on?
Emsch: Bene is probably still playing in another band.
Maddin: Well, in my shared apartment in Marburg, we occasionally have some sessions ... Didgeridoo (is that how you spell it?) on a vacuum cleaner pipe, guitar, trombone ... not really a side project.
Knox: What do you think about bands like Sum41 or Blink 182? Do you think it’s good that they are everywhere on MTV and the radio?
Emsch: Well, I’d say I’m glad when I’m somewhere and have to listen to the radio or am at a pop party and they are playing, I would never listen to them otherwise and I also think they have nothing to do with punk rock. They have been only after money from the start.
Maddin: Personally, I don’t care much, as that’s not really my kind of music.
Knox: Which band has been the most fun to tour with?
Emsch: We had a lot of fun with Ausgelebt so far.
Knox: What are your plans for next year regarding touring and new recordings?
Emsch: In the summer, we will probably give several concerts again. However, it’s not a tour. We have planned recordings for the fall. Then there will probably be a self-produced album or a demo CD.
Knox: What about musical influences? What is your favorite band at the moment?
Emsch: I’m speaking for myself now: My favorites are: Slime, Toxoplasma, 4 Promille, Pascow. I also enjoy hardcore like Blood for Blood… I think my definitive favorite band is Joint Venture.
Maddin: Well, first there’s Sven ... favorite band at the moment: Down, Black Label Society, alongside Bloody Noise of course ...
