Real name: The Bad Sugar Rush

Effective period / Period of releases: 2021

The Bad Sugar Rush’s rhythm section consisting of scene veteran Peter Zettl on drums and Minyeong Fischer on bass provide much more than only a meat-and-potatoes solid foundation for Josko Joketovic‘s intricate guitar work. Sure, the guys often allow for the guitars to simply slap a big bunch of grated cheese over their perfectly-made lasagna. But that would be only half as great if there wasn’t some next-level interaction going on with intertwining bass, guitar and drum patterns showcasing a tightly knit unit who know what they’re doing and have something to say. Soaring above all that are the powerful vocals of René Hofmann, lending a definite soul feeling to the music while never losing
their rock’n’roll edge – definitely a match made in heaven. Or in the devil’s kitchen, who knows…Sometimes rocking hard, often souly and bluesy, and always grooving spot-on – here comes The Bad Sugar Rush straight to your head. Unmistakable late 60s, early 70s.
