Believe me, it is hard to find a band nowadays that has the same intensity, drive and adventurous attitude as these three guys from Groningen, Holland. Refusing to give the audience what it wants, GREEN HORNET gives the audience what it needs; an irresistable mixture of sleazy soul and almost soundtrack-like organ instrumentals, but switching just as easily to punkrock and even swampblues. To GREEN HORNET it comes natural this way and they sure make it sound like Rock & Roll is meant to be like this. It's all so typically GREEN HORNET that it might as well be a musical style on it's own. In their small line-up including only a drummer, a guitarplayer, and one person continuously switching between organ, guitar and mouth harp, while two out of three take the lead vocals, GREEN HORNET has a very distinctive sound indeed. Not at least because of the intense screaming of the organ and by skipping a bassguitar completely. Once on stage these three guys go wild and their fucked-up mental state can make it a menacing experience. GREEN HORNET just released their new album So Much To Give on Excelsior Recordings. Like their previous albums this record is full of furious and intense Rock & Roll. But So Much To Give takes it to a new level. Purposedly recorded in the rehearsal room and mixed at home, this album captures GREEN HORNET’s mindset better than ever. So Much To Give sounds obnoxious and raw with a lot of soul. And don’t let the ‘lo-fi’ recording techniques scare you: This album rocks! GREEN HORNET has played the (in Holland anyway) famous Lowlands festival, the Popkomm, the Eurosonic and Noorderslag festival and has toured all over Europe. GREEN HORNET drinks from the same eternal well of Rock & Roll that keeps us all alive, but is far to stubborn to sound like any band at all. Trust me: these guys know what they are doing. They are in full control of re-inventing Rock & Roll for one purpose only: Pure excitement! |
