Nook

The Notwist

Abrasive noise rock and melodic hardcore from the band's pre-electronic era. Jagged guitars, high-tension drumming, and raw, unpolished energy.

Find on Amazon

Before they went digital, they were the loudest punk band in the basement.

A high-tension explosion of noise and melody that feels both physically aggressive and emotionally vulnerable.
