Solo antifolk-folkpunk songwriter project by Jan Bratenstein from Nuremberg
angry antifolk // bearded bluespunk // sassy songwriting
"Unpolished, razor-sharp, to the point, English-language song miniatures full of weird humor and bitterly evil world views".
"Gloriously irreverent, simply grandiose. The Black Elephant Band is something like the Ramones of folk!"
"The badly tuned guitar is unfussy and rudimentary, the voice a furious growl, hardly a song longer than two and a half minutes. Wonderful!"
"Weird anti-folk with beard, guitar and harmonica. To fall in love with!"
"Sounds somehow as if the young Bob Dylan had lifted one with Tenacious D."
for fans of:
Jonathan Richman, Kimya Dawson, Andrew Jackson Jihad, Days n Daze, The Tallest Man On Earth, The Homeless Gospel Choir, Tenacious D, Dave Van Ronk, Billy Bragg, Bob Dylan
