[engl] Eaten By Snakes are a Post-Punk / Pop / Synth two-piece from Bielefeld, Germany. They formed in 2017 after their former band MODERN SAINTS was put on the shelf for yet indefinite time. Deriving from a classic Garage / Pop-Punk type lineup, Daniel on drums and David on vocals / guitar added analogue synthesizers to their sound and took the melodic turn. Musical influences range from THE THERMALS to THE DAMNED, from PORTUGAL. THE MAN to whatever lies within or outside these boundaries. Even greater times for sarcastic lyrics ever since, so in early 2023 they hit the studio again to record their sophomore album 'Peace And Love'. Soundwise, Eaten by Snakes enhanced their definition of punk rock with a handful of drum loops and piano samples. Always remembering their favorite Bible quote: One, two, three, four, who's punk? What's the score?

[engl] A few friends come together, some have played music before (read: JUST WENT BLACK, KRANK, NO WEATHER TALKS, NEW WINDS) even together - others have never made music at all. Some old song ideas are dug up from the digital archive, noise is made in the rehearsal room, new ideas are conceived - and suddenly there is a new band with a certain life of its own, something that is more than the sum of its parts. With the 5-song demo tape, TRUE GLOOM explores the rocking boundaries of hardcore - and the tape is just a beginning.
