Anyone who thought that the Viennese band had presented their most original album to date with “Different” will be proven wrong: standing still is not part of the band’s vocabulary. “Friendly Fire” is the name of the latest longplayer with which MARINA & THE KATS are making their mark on contemporary swing music.
With their mixture of modern indie sounds and nostalgic swing, they have been delighting fans all over the world since the release of their debut album “Small”. The result is an exciting dynamic that appeals to both those who long for the past and those who are in search of new sounds. In short: a captivating mix of old and new that sounds familiar and fresh at the same time.
If you don’t know this Austrian band yet, firstly you’ve missed something and secondly you should know the following: Three of the four band members actively play drums or share a set. “The concept of ‘shared drums’ has never existed before and makes it interesting for us and gives us the freedom to stand out from other bands,” says the band.
This is precisely the trademark of M&TK. There is no other band with this completely unique sound!
