ôApron, thatÆs simply Æjoie de vivreÆ for me. The freedom to be just how the
fuck you want to be. There are no boundaries. ô, says Thomy Bambuch with the
eyes of a little sunshine and a most thrillingly hideous smile, that he tries to
hide. û In vain. Accordingly, he did not just talk about a brand new compact car
but about his band Apron, a five-headed Crosscore-monster from Bavaria, Germany.
Thomy, he is the front man(-iac), singer and shouter who now willingly explains
the name of his band to us: ôAn Apron can be found in every household. ItÆs
something that keeps away the dirt. EveryoneÆs got one and so does everyone have
his tricks to keep his white vest nice and clean.ö What kind of music does the
band with this sociocritical name make? ôCrosscoreô, as already mentioned is
ApronÆs very own and specially branded musical niche. ôA blend of the
straightforwardness and force of Crossover and the brutality and recklessness of
Hardcore, thatÆs what weÆre doing!ö, bassist Andreas Ortanderl puts forward. His
brother and Apron guitarist Johannes nods: ôWe simply see no reason why we
should restrain ourselves or our music. If we want to play a Blues riff or a
Bossa Nova beat we just fucking do it and at the end of the day we create
unusual but unique songs.ö Five of these hard, however gracious tracks are
finally available on CD now: On ApronÆs first official release, named ôThe
Broken Child-EPô. On this record the listener gets a taste of the enormous
bandwidth this group actually has. Furthermore it illustrates quite fittingly
what happens once Apron step on stage: a burst of pure energy and raw commitment
or better utter exploitation of the musiciansÆ bodies. But letÆs listen to what
guitarist Michael Hofstetter has to say: ôEvery time we play live, and you see
people how they freak out together with us while weÆre playing our music, this
confirms that an important part of Apron is being understood. Indulge yourself
in an hour of Apron; scream as loud as you can, let off some steam, after that
youÆll feel a lot better.ö Hard music and extreme live shows are two important
features in the philosophy of Apron: ôViolence is our Artô, drummer Andy Kuhn
grins perfidiously, ôall this shouting, all this noise, all this energy are part
of our very sophisticated interpretation of violence. Our music has nothing to
do with brainless raucous bawling or senseless beating-the-crap out of our
instruments.ö Apron are brutal, no doubt about that. But that is more in the
sense of maybe Alex De Large in Anthony BurgessÆ ôA Clockwork Orangeô, who
doubtlessly is everything but a dull hooligan. ôWeÆre on our way nowô, Thomy
Bambuch concludes the conversation, ôand weÆre not going to let anyone stand in
our way.ö
Look out for this band, so raw and loud, stomping and quivering, morbid and
beautiful, sweet and evil. Apron is coming to get you!
