I've finally gotten around to putting something up at my band's homepage. Our latest (only) portastudio demo is available for download at

http://www.kurtz.se

I play the guitar, so feel free to criticise everything but that.

Nice band name. Not convinced about the name of track four though. It sounds offensive for the sake of it, which could lay you open to the criticism of being a group of semi-literate pseudo-intellectual central european teenage goth-rockers (not rollers).

Which I don't think would be a fair impression.

And here I thought track four was exactly the song you'd identify with most.

Track four is actually called "The Ballad of Robert 'Sick F**k' Black". I cut it short for aesthetical reasons. Apparently Bob is some kind of porn producer. I'm completely at loss when it comes to the lyrics. Most of them are about acquiantances of the singer.

In a half-hearted defence of the vocals, it was recorded in three hours, with one take on everything, mostly.

Thanks. We've written roughly 100 songs, these were the ones we knew best by heart when we got to borrow the porta one day. We really should do something about it. Maybe our first proper release will be a 8 CD box set.

My band did a Portastudio demo too, it was awful and not much fun to record, plus it cost us. We split up soon after. I think you guys should stick at it.

Some Joy Division, TSOM, and a bit of early REM? Or is that just the way the singer sings?

Nevermind.

Do you do any gigs?

Mugabe,

Firstly, nice well balanced recordings for the most part :)

Like the stuff, the SOM influence is in there, and something else i cant put my finger on....

Good stuff though, keep up the good work!

Paddy.

Three men and a drum machine. What a wonderfully unique idea...
