BIOGRAPHY Founded in 2011, this band has made it its goal to fundamentally change the Swiss music scene. The founding members Kevin and Flavio Schärer, Mathias Sax, David Mele and Oliver Strub set out to write music history. In April of 2012 the current drummer Daniel Baumgartner joined the band, followed by guitarist Raffaele Uccella who replaced Oliver Strub in October 2013. The band s smashing EP is called Hopefully This Will End Well and was released in May of 2012. Their debut which they created in association with producer Lars Christen offers melody, intense riffs, animating beats and a well-proportioned dose of Electro. These guys are not trying to redefine the wheel, but make it their duty to beat it into shape to create a compact sound that cannot be heard anywhere else. The upscale production and the professional music video of Is Your Knee Alright? It Touched My Head! served as a worthy allegory for the starting pistol of a hopefully long-lasting career in the music business and left the recipients longing for more. The following year started with the release of the official live music video of the song Relentless and to shorten the latency for the fans, a cover of Seven s hit Lisa was released in October of 2013. In October 2014 the band released their single Take Me Away, accompanied by a lyric clip. Currently the quintet centred in Argovia, Switzerland is working on their new album, which is scheduled to be released in 2015.
