IGEL VS. SHARK DON'T LIKE TO TALK. THEY PREFER TO DO. so let's save all the unnecessary "blah blah blah" and get straight to the point: THEY PLAY ROCK, THEY DO IT LOUDLY AND EVERY TIME AS IF THERE WERE NO TOMORROW. MAYBE THAT'S WHY THEY WERE ALLOWED TO DO THIS BEFORE BANDS LIKE AC/DC, AIRBOURNE, SKUNK ANAN- SIE, DANKO JONES, FLOGGING MOLLY, THE SUBWAYS, THE SUPERSUCKER ETC. DO.
IGEL VS. SHARK, THAT'S LUKAS REICHHOLD, LUKAS LINSCHINGER AND JULIA LORüNSER - JOP, NO COOL SPELLING NAMES, NO TATTOOS AND THEREFORE THE THREE ARE "ROCK, ROCK, ROCK AND YES, A BIT OF ROCK." (CHRISTOPH THORWARTL, SUBTEXT.AT). AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY PROVED TO US WITH THEIR RECENTLY RELEASED SECOND ALBUM "500,000 MILES"...ahem, ROCK! -- As a band from the far north, the Hamburg surf/psych trio POOLHEAD could hardly be further from the sunny beaches of California. But it's precisely this distance that gives their 60s-inspired sound an independent mix of beach punk and wanderlust blues. Sometimes wild, sometimes driving, reverb-soaked melodies and groovy rhythms flow directly into the ear and create the soundtrack for a musical surf trip along imaginary coasts. instagram.com/poolheadband
