19 October 2023

BAND: FRÄULEIN
WHO: Frantic North-Irish/Dutch tandem

NEW SINGLE: LAST DROP

“It’s about manic uncertainty, the confusing, exasperating and self-destructive patterns that you can fall into after the end of a relationship. It’s meant to represent all of those feelings, which is why the song feels like a bit of a rollercoaster, but it’s short and intense, as those feelings tend to be”.

TUTV: To be honest I’Ve never heard of this British duo until last week when they played
as support act for the galvanizing Big Joanie. But they’re now on my follow up list. Their set was raw, rough and roaring. Post-punk at its genuinely sharp, from the heart and the soul. No special effects for Fräulein.

Singer/guitarist Joni Samuels give it her all with frantic fervor and bluesy/grungy riffs, while drummer Karsten Van Der Tol hits with brawny panache. You can experience the spirit on their recent EP PEDESTAL (stream/buy below) and their brand-new single THE LAST DROP
