LOS PEPES are a punkrock- / powerpop-three piece, which got together
2012 in London and whose sound on the one side is deeply inspired of
77-heroes such as the TESTORS, Johnny Thunders, ZEROS or BOYS, but on
the other hand also adds this pop-sensitivity and harmonies of forgotten
(garage-)powerpop-jewels, as to be found on old Nuggets- and
Pebbels-compilations, to it: Loud, frantic and raw, but always still
with that necessary amount of sugarcoating on top!

Sexphonie was the only album featuring Tyll, a truly talented and
versatile band. They weren’t together long, but left a lasting
impression. Tyll were founded in 1975, and by the time the year was
over. the band was history. Despite being together less than a
year, Tyll left behind a memorable musical legacy. That’s their
groundbreaking debut album Sexphonie. If finds Tyll switching seamlessly
between musical genres, as they create what’s nowadays regarded as a
hidden gem and a lost Krautrock cult classic, Sexphonie.
