Reptyle

In a general musical landscape where six weeks´ trends seemingly mean everything and authenticity nothing, REPTYLE stand out as an example of what rock'n'roll was meant to be. When REPTYLE came into being in the second half of 1999, the basic direction was as clear as it is now: To explore the dark side of rock´n´roll, drawing inspiration from the best of three decades of intense, hard, emotional music. The energy and despair of 70´s hard rock and punk; from the 80´s, the melancholy beauty of the originators of what was eventually called "goth" (hell, yeah! never ashamed of it!); and the eclectic approach of the 90´s underground: All these left their stamp on the new REPTYLE as it began to crawl. Following three demo CDs, all of which met considerable critical acclaim, REPTYLE released their debut album `a high and lonely place´ in 2004, which drew enthusiastic comments: "Goth rock at its best" (Undergroundpress), "100 percent goth rock entertainment" (Sonic Seducer mag), "REPTYLE might become a new spearhead of German goth" (Legacy mag). The follow up "Consequence" is scheduled for release in later 2006. REPTYLE were a live band from the start - years of gigging in Germany and abroad with the likes of IKON, CLAN OF XYMOX, FUNHOUSE and CINEMA STRANGE, and on festivals such as the "HERBSTNÄCHTE" or "JUDGEMENT DAY", bear testimony to this. REPTYLE are an underground band. They do what they feel like doing, and they´ll go on with it...Take it - or leave it. REPTYLE drink much and rock more. REPTYLE want you. Go to their gigs, buy their CDs, buy them drinks. Thanks for your patience! Blessings & Cheers Read more on Last.fm.
