Aaaah....
Being fully screamed at after just a few seconds of runtime...
Ladies, ready for take off!
...and bam, here we go.
SCHNUPPE from Cologne, three women, latecomers, either too old too soon or too young too grown up. The trio, consisting of Kat, Mel, and Diana, shows a lot of energy and a strong “I don’t care what you think” attitude right from their first song “Storno.”
Vocally, Kat reminds me a bit of NDW punk or NDW avant-garde stuff.
A little over the top, a bit too loud but right on point.
“Bier für die Girls” makes me think of always too loud and too pushy female groups celebrating something like a bachelorette party and probably hated by ¾ of humanity. A song that is a bit....special.
The sound is noisy, punky, wavy, reminiscent of NDW punk.
The lyrics are somewhere between anarchy, a fuck you all attitude, and emancipation, yet never bitter, always with a smile on their lips and a kick to the shins. Even calmer songs like “Showbizz” don’t hold back much.
A highlight on the album is certainly the well-known song “Rock´n´Roll Freitag,” which the band recorded with singer Annette Benjamin from Hans-A-Plast. The original song with the original singer gets a new lease on life. An still great song that has found a very good male counterpart in “Geh wie ein Tiger” by Normahl, but that’s just by the way.
Stylistically, one can certainly think of “Acht Eimer Hühnerherzen” from Berlin, which is not a bad reference.
“What it says on the tin” is not Schnuppe to me.
What the three have banged out in the studio is quite decent.
