Le Scrawl

Genre: Experimental / Grindcore / Jazz "(Le) Scrawl was formed by Mario and Peter in 1989. Initially playing "typical" Grindcore we eventually blended it with various musical styles - not necessarily stuff we're huge fans of, but music we're listening to occasionally, like Jazz, Ska, Swing, etc. After putting out 4 songs on the "I kill what I eat" compilation (Ecocentric Rec.) in 1993 we started playing live shows, e.g. with A.C., Agathocles, C.B., etc. Following the release of a 7" (Psychomania Rec.) in 1994, and the "Q" mCD (Ecocentric Rec.) in 1995, we recorded a bunch of cover songs released on the "Rotten fake" mCD featuring Agathocles and 7 MxOxNx in 1998. Following a few years in hiatus we release a discography entitled "Too short to ignore" on "Life is abuse" and "RSR" in 2002. By that time Simon (guitar) joined the band and we added the "Le". Moreover, with engineer/ producer Harris Johns - known for his work with bands from the metal circus (Sodom, Kreator, Immolation ) and punk/HC alike (Slime, Daily Terror, Vorkriegsjugend ) we also found the perfect person to record our stuff. He taped the songs for "Eager to please" (Life is abuse/ RSR) in 2003. Furthermore, he mixed our "Full Frontal Nudity" - DVD (Morbid Rec./ Life is abuse) featuring gigs of our California tour and the OEF recorded in 2004 - released in Spring 2006. In May 2007 he recorded our "Whisky a go go!" miniCD at his recently reformed "Music Lab" in Berlin. In 2010 we've recorded our newest release entitled "Snowblind" a new mMCD containing 13 new songs - which has been released on Obscene Prod. on October 22nd! "
