First EP Release from Austrian Band "The Black Drums"
The Black Drums, resident in Graz and Carinthia, Austria, were founded in 2015. The band consists of Andy Knafl (Drums), Berend Lippitz (Bass), Michael Polzer (Vocals & Guitar) and Alex Pipam (Lead-Guitar). Their music is, at first sight clear and catchy, but only if you take a closer look/listen you will spot the variety of layers it contains, just like their name. The influences of the four members are as versatile as they are diverse, they spread from classic-rock, hardrock of the 70s to indie-rock, punk and even blues. With this variety, The Black Drums developed their very own signature to the rock-genre, which is clearly reflected in their own songs.As different as their songs may sound, the powerful voice of Michael Polzer, which is deeply seated in the punk-genre, runs like a common thread through each and every single one of their songs. The same thing goes for the guitar play of Alex Pipam. Their goal is not to show off their virtuosity, but to create an emotional moment where rawness meets euphony and punk-attitude meets haunting melodies. This results in a completely different musical work that always stays authentic and that promises an exciting listening experience.
