GUNMOLL

Energetic, mysterious, exotic. If you were allowed to describe Gunmoll in just three words, those terms would get you quite far, but you'd still be missing out. This band, led by Jolien Grunberg (vocals, guitar, you might remember her from her solo project Jolene) and Bram Bol (guitar and, like Jolien, a teacher at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam), creates an energetic mix of (surf)rock, eastern sounds, and pop. Their music wouldn't be out of place in the most thrilling chase scenes of your favorite movies. Neo-noir is also a tag that wouldn't be misplaced on their songs. If you were to say that Gunmoll is the result of a joint studio session between Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Queens of the Stone Age, we might just believe you. Gunmoll will also play at Pinkpop this year. If you're smart, you'll check them out at Altstadt during BRIDGE Around Town, so you can proudly say you were there.
