Guts Pie Earshot - 10 Years Compilation (1993 - 2003 The Early Years)

Guts Pie Earshot was founded in 1991 in Cologne, Germany as a
"punk band with cello" called Flowerhouse, which in turn emerged from the band Lucy Killed The Dragon. From the beginning, the political relationship to 

the Squatters and "Caravan" Scene scene was relevant to the band. 

In their early days they also influenced their affiliation to bands like The Ex,  

Chumbawamba, Dog Faced Hermans and No Means No. The concert venues were and still are very often small venues and squats, and associated with the do-it-yourself idea. In 1993, the band was renamed Guts Pie Earshot.

From the beginning it was their trademark to push music to the limits of what is feasible through deliberate neglect (no guitar, then no vocals and sampler, now without bass, and the omission of electronic "replacement" devices such
as samplers or laptops) ( "Punk without guitar", "Drum and Bass without bass",
"Techno without technique", "Pop without vocals").

To break out of existing musical norms in order to create something completely
new, one's own - without degenerating into intellectual construction is the goal.
The quotes from the punk and hardcore are implemented as authentic as drum
and bass, breakbeat, techno or classical influences. Their music lives from the
contrast of catchy-danceable grooves, as opposed to the explosion of listening
habits and punk.
