[engl] Super Killer Debut Album Re-Issue from Switzerland’s most Notorious Psychedelic Punk Band, Strictly Home Recorded on Smokey Sundays and hangover Mondays between 1995 and 1996 in their Teens they admired Spacemen3 and these days they are produced by Spiritualized Deren Tony „Doggen“ Foster, but this here is a RE-RELEASE from their 1st 10“ Vinyl release on Voodoo Rhythm records back in 1996, 1 year before their Debut Album, Roy and The DMC was the 1st not Beat-Man band on the Label and they continue releasing for the label since then. You have to notice, back then in 1996 it the peak of TECHNO/TRANCE MUSIC and MTV Mainstream Music, there was no place for music like that, and we think today that album fits much better, its a weird time we live in and it needs weird music and It’s an album full of teenage weirdness optimistic mood power forced by the Punk Power of the MID 70’S and spaced out sounds of the 1969 BRITISH PSYCHEDELIC AREA... Recorded by the band itself, at the Roy Home Studios on real tape to tape, to another tape and to another tape, than true a telephone and to another tape, then blasting everything up .. that’s what made the bands music famous worldwide... these amazing recordings, stuff you can’t do with a computer today, truly handmade, music from the beginning to the end, so please welcome one of the 3 Swiss Mountain Brothers and the Drummer Roy and the Devil’s Motorcycle

[engl] Three guitars, one drum set, three voices, a daredevil ride into the Kingdom of Wild Animals, Recorded in Nottingham by Tony "Doggen" Foster (Spiritualized) including their gorgeous evergreen "Learn to Lose" and Janis Joplin’s "Ain't Got a Worry" A new album from Roy & the Devil's Motorcycle – it’s their first in six years. And what a title! "Im Reich der Wilden Tiere (No Milk, No Sugar)". “In the Kingdom of Wild Animals” was a television programme for children, explains Markus Stähli, the youngest of the three brothers who make up the band alongside the drummer, Elias Raschle. "It was presented by some stiff colonial type gentleman. He was sitting in his office, talking about wild animals. Why is this a fitting title for the album? Because it's zeitgeist." Eight years ago, Roy & the Devil's Motorcycle supported post-psychedelic superstars Spiritualized on a European tour. Their guitarist Tony "Doggen" Foster was so impressed by their uncompromising dedication to the power of massed guitars and the mood of the moment that he invited them to his studio in Nottingham for some recording sessions. During the following few years the Roys returned to the "Mouse House" again and again. Always supportive and enthusiastic, Doggen never tried to interfere with their vision. "We played live with the same raw energy we used to play at our shows, guided by emotional chaos and excess.” The seven songs were mixed by Markus Stähli at home in Basel's Happy Home Studio. Hardly any overdubs, lots of feedback, and a very real pneumatic drill thrown in for good measure. "Pounding away right in front of the studio in Nottingham, it was part of the ambience. Gives you an idea of the sensibility at play, I guess." Three guitars, one drum set, three voices. As it says on the album cover: "Not a comfortable sound, nothing landscapish, no distance to a wide stereo spectrum, no ready-made room you can go in. Confrontation - talking to you. No milk no sugar." Four songs were written by the band, including their gorgeous evergreen "Learn to Lose". Driven by a hypnotic xylophone riff from the keyboard, the minimalist "Mo Rice" shows the Roys from a new side. A sign of things to come? Their cover of John Jacobs Niles's "Look Down That Lonesome Road" sounds hardly any less spooky than the original but clearly tells the story in a language of their own. The same applies to covers of the Little Anthony hit "Tears on My Pillow" and Janis Joplin’s "Ain't Got a Worry". Give thanks to Roy & the Devil’s Motorcycle! Theirs is a daredevil ride into a land of animal power and beautiful mystery.
