It grooves in all four corners! - OX FANZINE
It’s almost impossible to act on a higher musical level. - BLUEPRINT
You have to be ready for Schnaak – preferably through an extensive excursion in freejazz, noiserock and hippie-comprehension. Not until the bones crack to the beat of the breaks and beat-ramifications, it’s really going to be fun. - PERSONA NON GRATA
Damn, that’s really just two people... wicked! Jazz, Noise, Hardcore, African rythms: An open battle between monotony, vast variety, chaos, rhythm, disharmony, aggression, playfulness. You won’t find anything more spaced-out and fancy these days. - BURN YOUR EARS

Bio
After several excursions through Europe, Africa and the United States SchnAAk has lived up and loves weird hip-hop beats, parallel comicart universes and stylish African rhythms. Though still working deep down in a factory of cosmic noise, but adjusting their machines nicely to sing along. Youve heard right: Sing along! Wake up Colossus!
The bucket has been proper band member since the first day, comfortably embedded amongst the two. The two with the four arms: two that stroke the wire, the other holding the wood. They make fire from amplifiers. They know how to do that, because they are smart
and they cook human flesh over it, nicely.
On Wake up Colossus remodeled instruments and weird sounds blend nicely together in super-organic new pop music with a focus on songwriting, way-out grooves and odd hooks. If we were to invent genres we might call this "transcendentally fertilized new machinery pop".
SchnAAk are
Mathias Jähnig (vocals, guitar, keys, synths) and
Johannes Döpping (drums, perc, xylophone, toys, vocals)
