Go Bananas was founded in the year of our lord 2007 in a dusty little drinking hole in the suburbs of Salzburg, Austria. Five crazy guys that enjoy their drink and never take things too serious decided to start jamming together; henceforth the naming of the band was easy. And their style came naturally as well and remains to this day: all over the place. The main dominator is heavy rock though; infused with stoner elements, metal passages and psychedelic structures. Their first album was released in the summer of 2011. It sometimes reminds of Monster Magnet or Black Sabbath, and other times it’s more like Thin Lizzy, AC/DC or even Colour Haze. But above all the sheer fun and love for the music shines through. They got their driving rhythms down, the fuzzadelic guitarsound and their steady drums. The lyrics are fun and even if the vocals could use a little work; it has spirit and conveys their primal emotion with pure excellence: Go Bananas!
