NEEDFUL THINGS Czech Republic

NEEDFUL THINGS - Money talks

Info


When it comes to Obscene Extreme and its crucial grindcore genre, we couldn't forget the band that has been supporting the festival and playing on it since the beginning, the Pardubice bards NEEDFUL THINGS!!! This year it will be their sixth time, again after a new recording and this time with a new singer. Uncompromising American way of grindcore, one of the last ones who hold the banner of really pure grindcore in the Czech Republic!!!

Big slackers who, paradoxically, play all over the globe!!! These all, are the NEEDFUL THINGS!!! Grindcore in its purest form!!!

Bio

1995
We start new band NEEDFUL THINGS. Before we played with Roman in one Death Metal band. But we wanted to play Grind Core so we started NEEDFUL THINGS. First name was DISCORD. But we found one band with the same name in Bulgaria so we decided to use NEEDFUL THINGS. Its Stephen Kings book. We really like his books with our first vocalist Majkl. NEEDFUL THINGS has started in ’95 with this line-up: Martin - drums, Roman - guit, Michael - vocals, Otto - bass.  We had problem to find drummer. Our first drummer played with us just 3 months. Than he leaved the band.
