Tel-Aviv’s heavy rock duo ‘carusella’ brings out the essence of “Boy-Girl”, “super loud”, “two people are enough”.
Their live performance presents their tensed chemistry and explosive charged energies. Carusella's debut EP album shows their genuine and innovative approach to rock'n'roll, stretching the boundaries by writing unique hardcore songs yet arranging them in a poppy way. Now after two successful European tours and a self produced and self distributed EP album, the two are back in Israel planning their third tour, writing new materials and continuing to tour Israel.
Press and Reviews:
* "When was the last time you went to see any live Israeli group and you felt like a Semi-trailer has crashed into you?"
("mako.co.il" - Zachi Biran)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* "two-piece from Israel whose sole intent is to make a hell of a racket...It helped that the skin basher is a born-again drumming lunatic, full of tricks and angles (such as balancing one-legged on his stool) and the doe-eyed harpy who thrashes her guitar as if it was a ragdoll threw a lot of interesting musical shapes. This was live music at its best, creative, fun, of the moment, allowing the audience to suspend disbelief… It was fantastic"
("incendiarymag.com" Richard Foster)
