Kidnappers

***“Germany's THE KIDNAPPERS have long been one of the best and most underrated punk/powerpop outfits from Europe, created from the ashes of the HIGH SCHOOL ROCKERS they made a splash almost immediately with well-received LPs on Rip Off Records and Alien Snatch before going quiet for a couple of years. Now they’re back, with a trio of punked-up tunes ready for your listening pleasure. ‘Pills’ is a riff-smasher of not-so-nice punk-n-roll that will kick down any door you place in front of it. ‘East Berlin’ is a searing guitar attack with shades of both Teengenerate and Euro-classics like The Kids. They finish with the Dolls-y strut of ‘Diamonds,’ which this tune’s hook is surely one of. A trio of hits exclusive to this release, recorded with maximum volume that will roll over you hard and fast and leave you in their dust. 500 copies, full color pocket sleeves and download included.”—Rich K (Terminal Boredom)
