We existed from 1990 to 2000. During that time, we had three singers, two drummers, and the rest were always there.
How did the band name come about?2
Actually, we wanted to call ourselves THE GOLDEN GNOMES WITH DIAMOND DICKS, but then we found that a bit too childish, so we decided on the coolest band name possible - at least we thought so.
Who wrote the lyrics for you?
Everyone wrote a song at some point. If it fit the music and the singer could handle it, it was used.
Which bands influenced your music?
Dschingis Khan, Iron Maiden
Have you ever played here in Schleswig Holstein??
Yes, twice in Kollmar, a small village near Glückstadt. There was a very nice and active punk named Michael Thee, who also sang in the band PISPOTT. He organized concerts there. We played once in a bowling alley, and then a second time on a tractor trailer at the harbor. Those were some of the best concerts we ever played. If Michael is reading this: get in touch!
What was the trigger for the breakup?
After ten years, the air was simply out. There were also moves, jobs, family life. The usual stuff when you become "adult." The band was still doing quite well, but as they say? You should stop while it's still fun.
What changed for you after Small But Angry?
The weekends were suddenly not planned. But there was also somehow a feeling of emptiness.
Can I still buy your records somewhere? If so, where??
With a bit of luck on eBay or rockauktion de, but on our homepage, you can download all the songs we've ever recorded for free. The covers of the two CDs can also be downloaded as PDFs, printed, and cut out.
And now your 5 favorite records?
Timo: Slayer - Reign in Blood; Motörhead - England; Ramones - Rocket to Russia; Johnny Cash - American Recordings I-IV; Descendents - Milo Goes to College
Guntram: D.I. - Horse Bites Dog Cries; Iron Maiden - Killers; Motörhead - Overkill; Leatherface - Mush; The Sisters of Mercy - everything
Are you now playing in another band after Small But Angry, or have you finished with punk rock?
After SMALL BUT ANGRY, Timo played bass in NOTHING IN COMMON and DIE INNUNG and recorded CDs with both bands, and he continued to tour a lot with NOTHING IN COMMON. Jenz moved to Trier, I founded KILLER RELEASE RECORDS and delighted the world with cool punk records. (myspace.com/killerreleaserecords / killer-release.de) Recently, Timo (bass), Tommy (drums), and I (Guntram/guitar) started a new band. There’s another guitarist (Torsten, Tommy's brother) and Andreas Gruiter (Vengeance fanzine/vocals) involved. The band is called FILTH HOUNDS OF HADES, after the first TANK album. Musically, it’s much harder and faster than what we did with SMALL BUT ANGRY. It's about a mix of NO MERCY and WOLFPACK. Let's see how it develops.
