Scraps Of Tape.
A musical collective which started as a loose gathering of people in 2000-2001
in southern Sweden, playing music from their hearts fed through distortion, noise, melodies, beats, words+no words.
Fast forward to 2007. 2 cd-r's, 2 fullength cd's, 1 7", 6 European tours, 1 Japan tour and 100's of one-off shows,
S.o.T now consists of Micke, Marcus, Kenta & G.
4 friends and brothers who just can't seem to stop to disagree, argue, fight and love eachother.
Fast forward to whenever you want to...we'll be here.
"With their debut release Read Between the Lines At All Times
in 2004, Scraps of Tape emerged onto the instrumental music scene
as a band showing incredible promise.
The album was steeped in emotion at every turn, with a great diversity
and subtlety present in each song's creation,
and most bands would be hard pressed to deliver
a sophomore effort after such a stellar debut.
Fortunately, Scraps of Tape isn’t like most bands.
Instead of rushing to produce its next album, the band took its time,
completed a few tours, and grew as a band, something that really shows
with this new release. This Is A Copy Is This A Copy improves
on the debut in every area. It’s got the emotion,
the great songwriting, the diversity, the subtlety,
the heavy parts, the quieter parts…but the significance
is that This Is A Copy…has got more of them. Much more."
/James Ould, The Silent Ballet

I Bogota doppar man en riktigt fin fet ost och en croissantliknande bulle i varm choklad. Dar far de langsamt smalta och sedan stoppar man girigt i sig godsakerna och tanker: nu skulle Scrapsarna varit med och mumsat - gott som fan. =Kram=
