Biography

MAMMOCK is a venture into the unknown by a mothership of longtime musicians & friends. Formed in early 2018 by Giannis (guitar) and Klearhos (bass) with the addition of Vangelis (drums), they started out as an instrumental trio and after experimenting with ideas they decided to find their voice via Andreas (vocals). In the summer of 2022, Dimitris took over as the band's drummer. Mammock’s compositions stray from the typical rock forms, incorporating various elements from punk to jazz, post-hardcore and the nineties’ US noise rock scene. The quartet possesses the self-awareness and technical capabilities to carve their own sound and explore their character into finely tuned songs, which grab the listener from beginning to end. All members participate equally into the song-building process, letting aside creative differences to serve their art. The ultimate result is to sound like they have been playing for years, inoculating their weird music canvas with their fathomless chemistry. Mammock has been compared to the likes of legendary bands such as The Jesus Lizard, The Melvins, Tool, System of a Down, Rage Against The Machine, and the Dead Kennedys. “Itch” received a warm welcome by local and world press, described as an electrifying debut release. On November 2022, the band released the long awaited follow-up "Rust" via Venerate Industries. Lineup: Giannis A. – guitar Klearhos G. – bass Dimitris L. - drums Andreas K. – vocals
