"Like four bastard sons of the unholy coupling between Lemmy and a troupe of marauding biker wenches, Adelaide’s PISTENBROKE (Geddit??) raise a tattooed middle finger with this searing slab of solid metal. Just like Motorhead, the vocals are gruff, the music is raw, the melodies are strong, the sense of humour is intact, the riffs are memorable and the subject matter is gritty. ‘Manwhore’ is about… well… you can guess! ‘Rock Out With Your Cock Out’ is a favourite of mine that must surely incite riots live, while ‘Forever In Black’ is a runaway train of a track. From the start to the end of this four tracker the Motorhead comparisons remain strong, but only as a benchmark – Pistenbroke ain’t no copycats! There’s a Metallica-flavoured riff here, some punkishness there, and a hefty serve of Aussie pub rock throughout. It’s rough and dirty and raw, and all the better for it! True Brewed Rock n’ Roll – indeed!" - Shane Pinnegar - The Rock Pit
"Looking for some classic rock? Than these are the guys for you! Pistenbroke have done an amazing job at this song. I love the classic sound that these guys have managed to achieve. This song is quite Guns N Roses like and I absolutely love that sound. The guitar riff in this song is catchy and really gives the song some power behind itself. I would have liked to have seen the vocals a little louder but I feel that the volume they are at right now gives enough power for them to just stand out over the top. Watch out for the killer solo in this song! Its awesome! The rhythm guitar in the background help pulls the song along. The bass does a great job at keeping a straight feel to the song. Love the tune guys! Look forward to hearing more soon!" - Perth Sound and Found
Next up was the no frills, foot to the floor heavy rock and metal of the grizzled and rather fearsome looking four-piece Pistenbroke. Think early Judas Priest, Rose Tattoo, Accept and Motörhead and you will be around the mark. Pistenbroke proceeded to pummel and leer their way through a selection of storming songs with no shortage of skill, all of which were very well received by a slowly building crowd. A particular highlight was Nutward which saw guitarist Mark break out the twin neck Gibson. - James McKenzie - DB Magazine

Bio
Remember back to those great days when Rock ‘N’ Roll was about Marshall stacks, Jack Daniels and tattoos. That feeling that what you were listening to was your own personal statement, that it was somewhat dangerous, but also something that spoke only to you, and no matter what else happened in your life, Rock and Roll would never let you down ? Remember how bands like KISS, Rose Tattoo and Motorhead made you feel? They made you say **** yeah, this is how I wanna do it”!! The four guys in PISTENBROKE ( Donnie - Vocals and Guitar, Brad - Drums, Pete - Bass, Mark - Lead Guitar ) remember this all to well, and finally in 2010, after knowing of each other from the South Oz Rock scene for a couple years said, stuff this, let’s crank up THE ’BROKE, write some tunes and see what happens !!! 2011 has seen them playing many shows in South Australia and also recording their first four track E.P titled “The First One”, featuring staples of their live show Rock Out, Manwhore, Riding The Breeze and Forever in Black. The future for the Broke is more gigs, more recording, more guitars….in fact more everything!!! PISTENBROKE’S plan is simple, to play anywhere, anytime, keep people smiling and singing along, keep the beer flowing, and above all keep it LOUD !!!!
