Den post-garage-punk og psykedeliske powerpop-anomali, der er Chemtrails, startede som DIY-soveværelsesoptagelsesprojekt af de romantiske partnere Mia Lust og Laura Orlova, og udviklede sig til et fuldt band i 2016. Deres uhyggelige talent for at spytte mærkelige, men uimodståeligt fængende popsange ud blev hurtigt bemærket af det svenske label PNKSLM Recordings, som signede dem lige efter deres første koncert - på Trans Pride Brighton.

Efter at have flyttet fra London til Manchester i 2019, slog Lust og Orlova sig sammen med en ny rytmesektion, der satte den sidste brik i puslespillet på plads. Med Ian Kane på bas og Liam Steers på trommer, er Chemtrails-maskinen nu fuldendt med en turboladet rytmisk motor, der driver de hookfyldte sange til nye niveauer af rå kraft, mens bandet veksler mellem snusket punk, hektisk krautrock og sardonisk sassy grooves. Serveret på en seng af tossede og uklare guitarer, primitive synths og polykromatisk pop, tager Mia Lusts tongue-in-cheek-tekster fat i fremmedgørelsen, det absurde, den menneskelige tilstand, den forestående apokalypse og af og til hendes plads i verden som transkønnet kvinde.

Bandet nævner deres største påvirkninger som Pixies, Blondie, Oh Sees, Fat White Family, samt tresser-psych og garagepunk, men det, der altid har holdt hele projektet sammen, er det endeløse udbud af iørefaldende melodier, leveret med bandets kompromisløse spænding og energi.

SUPPORT: Doed Asfalt

Navnet refererer til den slags vej, det tager en evighed at tilbagelægge, selvom der ikke er noget, der holder dig tilbage. På samme måde spiller Doed Asfalt alternativ rock, der går virkelig hurtigt, samtidig med at der bliver brugt meget energi på ikke at røre sig ud af flækken. Det går hurtigt, det er punket og catchy, men også stort og tungt og højt. Doed Asfalt er en trio bestående af Esben Rasmussen (vokal, guitar), Emil Findalen (bas) og Anders Hamann (trommer). Live har de en ekstra guitarist med.

I efteråret debuterede Doed Asfalt med ep'en Hesitant, som blev spillet på P6 Beat. Flere anmeldere nævnte referencer som Psyched Up Janis, Hüsker Dü, Jay Reatard og Dinosaur Jr. I 2024 udgiver de deres debutalbum, der er indspillet hos Jens Benz (Iceage, Yung, Cola Freaks m.fl.)

Doed Asfalt har i slutningen af april udgivet førstesinglen “Steppin’ Sideways” fra det kommende album.

ENGLISH

The post-garage-punk and psychedelic power pop anomaly that is Chemtrails started out as the DIY bedroom recording project of romantic partners Mia Lust and Laura Orlova, evolving into a full band in 2016. Their uncanny talent for blasting out weird but irresistibly catchy pop songs was quickly noticed by Swedish label PNKSLM Recordings, who signed them just after their first gig — at Trans Pride Brighton.

After relocating from London to Manchester in 2019, Lust and Orlova joined forces with a ferocious new rhythm section, putting the final piece of the puzzle into place. With Ian Kane on bass and Liam Steers on drums, the Chemtrails machine is now souped up with a turbocharged rhythmic engine, propelling the hook-filled songs to new levels of raw power, as the band sashays between sleazy punk, frantic krautrock and sardonically sassy grooves.

Served on a bed of twangy and fuzzy guitars, primitive synths and polychromatic pop, Mia Lust’s tongue-in-cheek lyrics tackle alienation, the absurd, the human condition, the impending apocalypse and, occasionally, her place in the world as a transgender woman. The band cites their biggest influences as Pixies, Blondie, Oh Sees, Fat White Family and sixties psych and garage punk, but what has always held the whole project together is the endless supply of catchy melodies, delivered with the band’s relentless excitement and energy.

SUPPORT: Doed Asfalt

To begin with, Doed Asfalt was an attempt at playing music that would fit what the name designates: the kind of road that takes forever to get through although nothing seems to hold you back. Similarly, Doed Asfalt is rock music played really fast, but limited to a few, simple ideas. It never really goes anywhere, while putting a lot of effort into doing just that. From the original idea of guitarist and singer, Esben, Doed Asfalt has developed into that classic rock format, the trio, with Emil on bass and Anders on drums. It’s fast and it’s hopefully fun.

In 2023 Doed Asfalt released their first EP Hesitant which was played on DR P6 Beat. Critics could hear references such as Psyched Up Janis, Jay Reatard, Dinosaur Jr. and Hüsker Dü. Doed Asfalt will soon release their debut album which is recorded and mixed by Jens Benz (Iceage, Yung, Cola Freaks, etc.).
