about
Dumbell sind seit mehr als 15 Jahren im Auftrag des Rock n Roll unterwegs, die Besetzung hat dabei mehrmals gewechselt. Der aus Cincinnati, Ohio stammende Bandgründer, Sänger und Gitarrist Paul Grace Smith hat auch diesmal eine erlesene Auswahl an internationalen Musikern um sich geschart: Jamy Holliday (Dayton, Ohio – Guitar/Vocals), Nasty Samy (Morteau, France – Bass) und Turbogode (Colmar, France – Drums). Das Quartett verbindet auf Electrifying Tales in einzigartiger Weise die Empfindsamkeit und Stimmung von PowerPop (Big Star, The Nerves), das „Detroit Chaos“ (MC 5, Stooges) und alten US-Hardcore (Wipers, Hüsker Dü, BlackFlag). Sie lassen sich dabei nicht auf einen bestimmten Sound festlegen, sondern verarbeiten Gothic Einflüsse genauso wie Garage-Sound. Nennen wir es schlicht Punkrock: Oft melodisch, aber immer druckvoll. Die 16 Songs für Electrifying Tales wurden 2011 zwischen den Tourneen in Europa und den USA in einem Lagerhaus in Dresden aufgenommen, gemischt von Mathieu Kabi im Indie Ear Studio (Frankreich) und gemastert von Justin Perkins in Milwaukee/USA. Fazit: Dumbell tragen ihren Titel als Meister des “international doomsday punk rock” weiterhin zu Recht.
This is the sound of a band that is relentless in their mission to bring back the spirit of multiple generations of punk rock and garage. The DIY spirit that has been carried on by singer songwriter Paul Grace Smith in his 15 years of leading this ever changing band of miscreants has come to fruition, as he collected the creme de la creme of French and American musicians for this ruthless display of anger and passion that is ELECTRIFYING TALES. Flinging all caution to the wind, Dumbell embraces Power pop sensibilities (Big Star, The Nerves), tackles Detroit mayhem (MC5, Stooges) and by way of the beginnings of the US hardcore scene (ala the Wipers, Husker Du and Black Flag) they thumb their noses at the guitar pyrotechnics that are expected from their contemporaries. At the same time they combine elements of goth and garage mixing it together for a sound that is all their own. Electrifying Tales was recorded between Dumbell's 2011 USA and European tours. Belted out in a ware house in Dresden, Germany, mixed in the French countryside at Indie Ear Studios by Mathieu Kabi, and finally mastered by Justin Perkins in Milwaukee in the US, Dumbell holds true to their well earned title of international doomsday punk rock.
