Grabbel and The Final Cut - Psycho Popsong

They were a band from Lüneburg, Germany in the 90's. That were sadly overlooked, and should of been Germany's answer to Ride. The were comprised of Stefan Zachau (guitar, vocals), Gernot Dornblüth (bass, vocals), Sascha Kotzur (guitar, keyboard) and Christian Grabowski (drums). Heavily influenced by the British shoegaze scene and bands like; The Jesus and Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine and The House of Love. The shoegaze scene faded and the record contract never came. So only a few shoegazers from Hamburg in 1991 were privileged enough to hear them.

The master tapes have been sat in a box for the last 20 years and have now come to life again. Checkout the Bandcamp or LastFM pages.
