Cinema Cinema (Brooklyn)
“Cinema Cinema = Black Flag + Babes in Toyland + Hella…If Lemmy started a knife fight with The Stooges and punched Kim Thayil in the face as a warm-up… it might sound like Manic Children & The Slow Aggression…disturbing, yet intriguing” (Slug Magazine)
“These guys sound like each song is life and death. It reminds me of a passion that I have not seen in music in a long time, of a band who is so dead set on trying to carve a new identity…Blue Cheer meets Raw Power Iggy and the Stooges..insanely intense”
(Wicked Channel // JULY 2012)
“Brooklyn, New York has housed many musicians..but nothing like Cinema Cinema has really ever been heard. The complete and utter lack of traditional vanity…is proof of this transcending duo’s ability to represent their home base on an entirely different front. Fusing every genre of rock n roll, this indie treasure…classic, maybe?…portrays a “little something for everyone” attitude…Cinema Cinema is one of those bands of talented weirdos that appear only every now and again…brick layers of disturbia create a glamorous sense of mental chaos”(FensePost // June 2009)

Destroyed But Not Defeated (Wien)
“Whoever wrote the song sings it” steht in den Liner Notes von Hüsker Düs erstem Doppelalbum “Zen Arcade” (1984). “Whoever sings the song wrote it” beschreibt Lelo Brossmann (Stimme, Gitarre) die Arbeitsteilung von Destroyed but Not Defeated auf ihrem im November 2012 auf Wohnzimmer Records erschienenen Debütalbum.
Ein Trio mit Lebens- und Arbeitsmittelpunkt Wien, in dessen Kosmos auf den ersten Blick so gegensätzliche Dinge wie Hüsker Dü und Rhythmische Sportgymnastik (in ihrer genial-dilettantischsten Form praktiziert im Video zur Single “Lost In Translation”) friedlich koexistieren, ein Trio, das durch Markus Reiter (Stimme, Gesang) und Drummer Clemens Franke (welcher erst seit Kurzem den US-Amerikaner Ian Miller, den es wieder Richtung Heimat zieht, ersetzt) komplettiert wird.
