"Sometimes the tempo becomes some sort of physical entity, an unstoppable force to be negotiated with care whilst you listen in; as might hit you foursquare as it rushes past you… it’s a weird feeling."

"Pas dan merk je dat de tomeloze inzet van de heren ook nog eens leidt tot enkele parels van festivalsongs die kunnen uitgroeien tot hardcore-anthems van het eerste uur."

"Zoals gezegd heeft Organisms een lekker gruizig geluid dat je niet al te vaak hoort; het is net even anders. Schieten in het begin nog namen als (de oude) Black Flag en Hüsker Dü door het hoofd, verderop domineert het retro-garagegeluid… Vervolgens stampt Organisms in een andere maatsoort verder om met drum rolls, dwingende melodie en dito zang de luisteraar bij de lurven te pakken."

The band

A rollercoaster ride through two decades of intelligent, raw and energetic indie rock.

Organisms are 4 guys who knew each other even before the year punk broke. They've been played in bands like Spider Rico, Incense, Feverdream, The Solo Men Only and Fine China Superbone. So it wasn't that hard to mix their individual taste and come up with some noisy rock songs. The music of Organisms of this The Hague / Rotterdam outfit is like an uptempo rollercoaster that guides you through two decades of intelligent, raw and energetic indie rock. During their intense live shows it's not uncommon that instruments get damaged.

The 'Hot Hands EP', released on the infamous Motorwolf Records featured 4 noisy rock songs recorded at the studio of Corno Zwetsloot. It is available on red transparent 10" vinyl.

But this was just a taste of things to come. The full-length 'Rainbow Black + White', to be released 24th February 2012 on Scene Spirit Records, was recorded in Rotterdam at the Qababaca'a Studios by Arnold van de Velde together with their friends Niels van Beers (Low Point Drains) and Mau Pinna (The Deaf).

Ambitious as they were, they asked Alex Newport (At the Drive-In, Pissed Jeans, The Melvins, Death Cab For Cutie) to mix the record. He responded enthusiastically and so the record came about. It's their best recording yet and offers a great perspective of the musical diversity of the band without losing their raw live energy.
