Release Notes:
--------
Navel donÆt really seem to care too much about big words and the glittery
glamour stuff. Advertisement, label talk, slogans, big names, big lights û
forget it. EveÆs (b/v), JariÆs (g/v) and SteveÆs (d) only reference of matter is
what you do to your instrument on the stage youÆre standing on and the effect
this has on the people in front of you. The people in front of you will tell you
what you are. Either you are a band that rocks or you are a band that doesnÆt
rock too much. If you rock, people will dance, tell more people and next time
you will have to book a bigger club. Leave the slogans and the promo gibberish
to those who live in constant fear of the next Hives, Muse, Bloc Party, Foo
Fighters or Metallica album and who measure their achievements in MySpace
clicks. What you want to strive for as a band on your way to sweet independence
is the Slayer Appeal. Lose the similes: SLAYER! NEW ALBUM! It never was, SLAYER!
BIT LIKE METALLICA BUT FASTER AND WITH A BETTER DRUMMER PLUS SOME SATANISM! When
SLAYER! is the slogan you definitely want to play in Slayer or be like them, if
only for this very reason. The medium is the message I guess. Consequently,
Navel, this young and very loud band from and around Basel, leave promotion and
anaemic taglines to others like me or fellow music fans on YouTube: THE SINGER
LOOKS LIKE KURT COBAIN! NEO GRUNGE! NAVEL IS A RIP OFF! THE BASSIST IS CUTE! SAW
THEM WITH THE QUEENS AND THEY ROCKED! And so onàI donÆt want to write myself
into a rage here and why the commotion? While all this is happening, NavelÆs
magazine ad for the upcoming album Frozen Souls reads nothing but NAVEL 28/03.
And when NAVEL is the slogan you definitely want to play in NAVEL, record more
guitars like this, book bigger clubs and rock more people! ThatÆs all. Enjoy!
