Markus - Scooter Boy

  


  Markus (https://www.facebook.com/markusistliebe/) are a new name to me but they're from Munich and they've just released their 4th ep. They're a 3 piece comprising of Markus Beger, Markus Burnuthian & Markus Will. They kicked off in 2019 with Die Leyla which featured 9 noisy tracks, none of them going past the 60 second mark. The tracks were a little longer on last March's Meeresbrisée whilst November's Moon Boots was another dissonantly brief affair. 

  They recently released Reservoir and it's my favourite yet. It's available on cassette from Berlin based record label Späti Palace (https://spaetipalace.bandcamp.com/) and as a digital download :  https://markusistliebe.bandcamp.com/album/reservoir 

  Their sound has been described as post-punk/noise rock, I can hear influences from the likes of Kleenex/Lilliput or maybe a more contemporary comparison would be with Berlin band Toylettes. It's mainly fast and shouty which is a good thing. This is my favourite track and it's called Scooter Boy...
