Künstlerbiographie Debile Menthol

DEBILE MENTHOL
RIO / Avant-Prog • Switzerland
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once Upon A Time In Neuchatel Switzerland There Was This Band Called Debile Menthol Who Played Rock In Opposition In The Vein Of Samla Mammas Manna Etron Fou And Henry Cow And With A Sort Of Minimalistic Approach That Reminds Massacre Fred Frith . Founded In 1979 This Band Managed To Record Only Two Albums - Emile Au Jardin Patrologique 1981 And Battre Campagne 1984 . Both Albums Were Released By RecRec Which Is A Swiss Label That Was Created In Order To Release Their Albums. RecRec Has Re-Issued Those Two Albums Together As One Release 2-CD Case With Bonus Tracks 1994 . The First Album Is Rather Cheerful Sounding With Occasional Darker Parts Jazzier And Has A Large Lineup Consisting Of 9 Members Playing On Violin Sax And Clarinet Among Others . This Album Can Appeal To Samla Mammas Manna And Miriodor Fans. The Second Album Had A Smaller Lineup And The Sound Changed A Bit As Well To A More Fierce Sound And More Similar To The Massacre Sound Than The Samla Mammas Manna Sound Although The Eccentric Touch Of The Swedish Band Is Still There . Overall This Is A Weird Sounding Band Which Created A Mix Of Quirky Rock Punk Fusion Free Jazz And Plain Eccentricity. The Lyrics When There Are Any Are Being Spoken Sometimes At High Tone In A Non-Melodic Style Not Sung And To Me Reminds Of Massacre And The Clash In French And Filled With Satire And Humour As Their Name Might Suggests . During Their Tours The Band Was Under Financial And Personal Stresses Which Lead To Its Disbanding And The Creation Of Two Other Bands Mentioned Below.
