Antennas started out as NOVAK on the isle of Gotland in the middle of the Baltic Sea. After some touring and a couple of Ep’s they made the decision to explore new grounds. Some members quit and today they line up as the trio named ANTENNAS. Swedish label Novoton (also from Gotland) picked up Novak at an early stage and has released all of their creations so far.
Antennas bring out that feeling of anger and despair, when you know that it is too late. When all you can do is to scream out your fury and hope that it will eventually bleed out of your body, so your hurting finally stops. Those feelings can also be found in such diverse references as Arcade Fire’s languorous melodies, Nick Cave’s dark voice, Dinosaur Jr’s angry guitars and Silver Apple’s frenetic keyboards. The members claim themselves that they were more than inspired by KLF’s The Manual when they wrote some of the songs; “if it’s good enough for Scooter it’s good enough for Antennas.”
