about
Dutch Nijmegen’s inventive noise rockers Mannheim gives birth to grooviness from a higher heavier dimension. Mixing a sweaty punk vibe with a “black jazz” approach, the band sounds like a power clash between And So I Watch You From Afar, Shining, Zu and a free jazz driven locomotive. Whilst no strangers to jazzy, avant-garde skronk, the quartet have an almost sludgy sensibility to them as well. The saxophone (courtesy of Otto Kokke, one half of Nijmegen’s finest jazz-grind combo Dead Neanderthals) plays a prominent role throughout, without ever becoming overbearing or gimmicky. Whilst obviously not quite as focal as his work with Dead Neanderthals, the sax gels fantastically with the roar.
