Dutch trashpop band Zomotta is throwing songs with a twist of anything into the world since about 1998. Until last year, their albums were well received with local press. In 2005, their latest release 'Call 4 Glory' (distributed by the fine people of De Konkurrent) was well-received by the media. Next, Zomotta appeared in numerous magazines and radioshows, and toured with bands like Art Brut, Sweatmaster, Magnapop, or Danko Jones on some of the finest stages in the Netherlands. In 2006, they will be working on their newest step towards world domination.
By the way, Zomotta is dutch for 'This is how to do it!'
"Snarling guitars, raw rhythm & blues, explosive garagepunk and
humorous trash, Zomotta's got it all."
OOR Music Magazine
These are a bunch of coherent rocksongs, worthy of praise.. Stoic like the Jesus & Mary Chain, sharp as the Pixies, and with dirty, blunt T-rex like riffs. Bravo! "

"The band performs their "trash pop", as they refer to it, in quite a schizophrenic way. This entails that some songs are quiet, enduring and sometimes even hypnotising, while other tracks sound more powerful and rebellious."

Hey Zomotta, Zo om de 2 jaar sturen we elkaar weer eens een mailtje. Ik hoop dat jullie deze keer wel kunnen komen :), haha. alles flex verder? ciao, Robert-Jan
Now that we're friends let's do something together. Let's become religious, put on funny clothes, dance silly and start a riot! Friends do such things, don't they? Are you with us?!
volgens mij wel bij ons toen het nog localrock was al weet ik niet zeker of ik er toen al bij zat of dat het bij sandman en nico was. anders doen we het gewoon nog een keer over :)
Really liking the tracks you have here. If you want to send us some material, we would definitely play it on the radio show (address details on our profile), especially if you had any gigs in our area. There are loads of great venues in Bristol.
Thanks so much for the add request, good to have you with us. Hope you are enjoying the programme.
Happy Dynamic Living!
