Artist History Goddamn evil rock'n'roll from the wastelands of the Midwest US to the gothic temples of Germany and landing on the blasted shores of Belfast. 4 alcohol fueled, rock'n'roll sleaze bags formed a rock'n'roll panzer that was 3 years in the making, with a track record of about 500 shows collectively to date. When the final line-up formed in December 1999 a realisation occured. This fuckin band blows your nuts off !! The 5th release in three years is due out in stores in April 2000, with a mixture of MC5 guitar pyrotechnics, fast driving straight beats, slippery hooks and a generous dose of undefineable originality. Wanna know what it's like to have your head chomped off by a wild boar and then ask for more ? Go see this band and you won't think twice !!

Press Reviews Nachdem Skandinavien erst kürzlich wieder den europäischen Chanson-Contest gewann und auch der Rockthron verdientermaßen seit einiger Zeit dort steht, kommt nun endlich die passende Antwort aus unseren Breiten: Dumbell haben mit ihrem dritten Album eine mächtige Säge aus dem Werkzeugkasten gezerrt und deren Zähne schon in die Beine jenes Hochsitzes geschlagen, von dem die nordische Rockliga herabschaut. Mit „Don’t Mess With Cupid!“ kommt ein Bolide auf die Gemeinde zugerollt, der die Energie von Zeke und den New Bomb Turks mit Oldschool-Zutaten à la Dead Boys und frühe Black Flag verbindet. Verstecken brauchen sich Dumbell mit so einem glühenden Eisen nicht einmal hinter einer Vorzeigeband wie den Hellacopters. Dieses Album ist der beste Beweis, dass nicht alle hiesigen Bands internationalem Standard hinterherhecheln müssen. Autor: Christian Sch
