Take estatic vocals, jangly guitars, a driving bass, add some crazy Hyper Hossa samples, crank it up and you've got an on the edge mix of hardcore, funk, latin and reggae.

English and Spanish lyrics spice everything up with a sprinkling of irony, and the end result is the unmistakable Face Invaders Funcore Sound!

Biography

1997 was a milestone year. Face Invaders started a new chapter in rock history. The first Funcore CD ("Big Bugger") was released.

The second release, "Problemas en Acapulco" (Single), made even more of an impact and was voted an instant winner by a panel of judges for the magazine "Soundcheck".

"This lineup with their funcore has already been enjoying a cult status in Munich for a long time. Our No. 1 German music export to Mexico..."

The second LP "Happy Birthday" sold over 1400 copies in its first year. Bookers abroad started to take notice.

2003 saw the release of the third funcore offering "Tiene Hambre Senora":

"... What you hear on the new LP from the crazy southgermans is an excellently well done mix of styles from different genres: Molotov, a sprinkling of Chilli Peppers, a touch of Supergroove, and truckloads of rock'n'roll, funk, reggae and metal. Take note of the biting production which easily keeps up with International Major Standards...." (Rock Hard)

The enthusiasm of the crowd and the positive feedback from bookers have led to many concerts since 2002 and numerous other festivals and venues.

2004 Face Invaders topped all previous efforts with the release of their first live album "Live".

"...Forget the normal expressions for fun, exuberance, party. Just srike them from your memory and think of one band - Face Invaders..."
(SZ Youth Page)

"...Whoever creates such an amazing atmosphere belongs on the winners
podium, and deserves to be right at the top..." (Süddeutsche Zeitung)
