Powersolo (DK) // Ahmed & The Romans

Sour Grapes Records presents...

POWERSOLO

POWERSOLO is a rock and roll band which formed in 1996 in Aarhus, Denmark by Vocalist/Guitarist Kim “Kix” Jeppesen. Their sound- termed by the band as “Donkey Punk” is characterized by an often frantic and raucous blend of Garage, Punk, Psychobilly, Surf, and World Music. This patois leans heavily on a Blues-based rock sound which is recorded often with what could be called utilitarian, obscure, or often primitive instruments and tech. This loans a very authentic-sounding vintage aesthetic to their recordings.

POWERSOLO’s live shows often leave even the most seasoned of showgoers bewildered and confused, but always entertained by their quirky, rude, and silly-yet-threatening stage antics- if not by the simple raw power that this group delivers to the crowd at every performance. Influences and Genretizing Issues.

Ahmed & The Romans

There’s no two ways about it, Ahmed & The Romans are one of the ones to watch on the continued rise of the whole garage-psych scene. Theirs is a warped blend of rhythms that spit and jar over a bopping groove beneath. We said it when they released their debut EP, the band deal in sharp shots of wired energy, shades of Gang Of Four riding along somewhere within that whole Osees weirdness, playful and to the point. -  Louder Than War
