Pool - What It Is

2 Song For You

“Columbia!” ist eine vierköpfige Indie-Rock-Band aus Lübeck. Erst vor etwa vier Monaten haben sich die Jungs dank gemeinsamer Freunde zufällig gefunden. Leon Savill (Lead guitar und Kent Kaspereit (Bass) haben schon länger zusammen Musik gemacht. Später kamen Pontus Klempin (Lead Vocals) und Leo Ziems (Drums) dazu.

Letztendlich sind “Columbia!” vier Jungs die einfach Bock auf Musik haben! Zwei der Vier sind halb Engländer und somit fast gezwungenermaßen mit Britpop aufgewachsen. Bands wie The Stone Roses, Blur, Arctic Monkeys usw. haben natürlich einen Eindruck hinterlassen, aber auch andere Bands wie Foals oder The Strokes haben die Band beeinflusst. Dennoch haben die vier ihren ganz eigenen Sound entwickelt. Geschrieben ist alles selbst, sowohl die Musik als auch die Texte.

Noch ist die Setlist zwangsläufig eher übersichtlich. 11 Songs haben die Jungs geschrieben. Rock ’n Roll!

Recorded in 15m² rehearsal room using 5 mics & 2 line signals.
Latest mix, slightly different EQ & balancing

Columbia! - Shame (Roughmix #3)

super summer spring time mixtape 2

.......................................Falling..............................................................
In autumn 1987 the Arch Criminals exited the smoke-filled, instrument-strewn stage of a club in north Germany. Their drums had been accidentily set alight, the bassist was bleeding from his eye...they  were exhausted, broke and had not the faintest idea that the next gig together was to be in spring 2012 ................................Burning Through Excess ...................................
The Arch Criminals had risen from being a local Essex based outfit to an internationally recognised post-punk band, played by the BBC´s John Peel, gigging with the likes of The Vibrators, The 
Cockney Rejects, Conflict, Phillip Boa.Their E.P. "Hang"had been released by Motarhate in the U.K. , had a recording contract with Überschall in Germany and had toured extensively in Germany, Switzerland, Denmark and Norway (Roads of Light) ............................................The House that Burned Down ..........

Simultaneously they had suffered a number of unfortunate events: 
Original drummer Kev left after the first tour of Germany in 1986, Rob(vocals) ended up in hospital for 3 months half way through their European tour in 1987 having almost severed his hand in an accident (Holy Hands) all their cash from the gigs in Norway was stolen, disagreements with the sound engineer led to the band refusing to have their album released, and the final straw was the replacement drummer Simon leaving the band after the ´87 tour.(End of an Era)__________________________________________________


25 years Later the Arch Criminals have been revitalised with a new interest in the band coming from Boston, U.S.A. and a fresh interest in Post-punk music in general. The excitement and challenge of performing again from from what were some of the most memorable and influencial times of their lives was a chance not to be missed. .........................................

Listen to Yourselves .................................
In June 2011 the Criminals met again in a studio in Battersea, London.
The songs kept coming, great tune after great tune....it felt as if they´d never been away. The music feels as relevant now as it ever was!
The introduction of Hanno on drums in December 2011 completed the lineup and the time has come again for the Arch Criminals to embark on a new Cinematic Ride .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Touring in Germany -April / May 2012 


............and the beat goes on!
