Neurotic, Impulsive, Naive, Manic, Sensitive, Unstable, Eccentric
For these emotional states is the music of the band from Krefeld, Germany-Papercuts, the elements of gothic rock, trip hop and alternative sound mixes. The band name, a play on "paper cuts" and "pay-per-cuts," symbolizes all the injuries that one experiences in life. Painful and annoying like paper cuts, some left their scars for ever. This led to the whole concept of the band and runs through text, music, artwork and band outfit. Date founded in 2006 by Nihil Pale and Violett Eve and as a project to process their own emotional conflicts musically, it grew over time grew into a real band and was completed in 2007 with guitarist Constantine in the line-up of the band in early 2010.
The present E.P. "Sick Soul" was recorded in late summer 2009 with mature songwriting, clever dynamic changes and new style elements. The title of the E.P. says it all: fat and weird riffs alternate with melancholic lead guitar, accompanied by a gloomy bass and wild drums. Hypnotic samples and gothic keyboards provide a constant up and down in all 6 songs. They know perfectly how their audience suffers (as presented on the bands web page).
Lee- I am dedicating this bands song 'Stay Away' to Jack - he won't stop following me! When are you coming back to your cave?
