STARTER

and then saturday evening, I caught the live show

featuring STARTER, a sophisticated five-piece fusing

Brecht/Weill with the Jam. The band call their sound

Anti-pop, but it's certainly not anti-melody, with

frontman Max Stumpf displaying all the attitude and

style of early British guitar driven Post-punk. With

their musical energy and angry young men lyrics they

soon won over a young audience as they won me over.

Listen out for the name Starter, you'll be hearing it

everywhere soon. As the Band themselves say: Starter

kommt! (Axel Roem, Scottish Observer, February 07)
