Nein, „The Maverick Vendetta“ sind keinesfalls eine Bollo-Hardcore Band, noch sind die vier jungen Bielefelder italienischen Ursprungs. Gegründet als Trio im Herbst 2006 begannen Max(Drums), Birger(Guitar/Screaming Vocals) und Björn(Guitar/Vocals) die ersten Songs zu schreiben. Birger und Björn spielten schon vorher in diversen Bands zusammen und Björn ist nebenbei auch noch mit seinem Soloprojekt „The Heartbreak Circle Club“ unterwegs. Nachdem Basti(seines Zeichens Bassist bei Pointless And Me) für einige Monate am Vier-Saiter aushalf fanden die drei Jungs im Februar 2007 mit Joscha einen festen Bassist, der das Line-Up vervollständigte. Die Musik des jungen Quartetts pendelt sich irgendwo im Rahmen des Emocore mit starken Anleihen im Alternative Rock aber auch teilweise im Punkrock ein. Textlich geht es einerseits um persönliche Erfahrungen, Situationen und Gefühle, andererseits aber auch um erdachte Geschichten mit fiktiven Charakteren. Die vier Jungs sind bereit ihre Mischung aus ruhigen, aggressiven, langsamen und schnellen Stücken auf den Bielefelder und den Bühnen OWLs zu präsentieren.

Englisch: Well no, “The Maverick Vendetta” are whether a hardcore band, nor does any of these four fellows from Bielefeld have origins in Italia. Started out as a three-piece in the Autumn of 2006, Max(Drums), Birger(Guitar/Shouting) and Björn(Guitar/Vocals) started to write their first songs together. Birger and Björn played in bands before and Björn is running an acoustic act, called “The Heartbreak Circle Club”, together with Bastian Schmidt, who temporarily played the bass-guitar as a supporting musician for “The Maverick Vendetta”. As he is also involved in another band (“Pointless And Me”, who are also friends of “The Maverick Vendetta”) he couldn’t participate in both bands as a full time member and therefore Max, Birger and Björn went searching for a bass player who would eventually become a full time member. They found Joscha in February 2007, who completed the line-up. The music of this young quartet can be somehow defined as a sort of Emocore but is strongly influenced by other genres such as Alternative Rock and, from time to time, Punk Rock as well. Their lyrics cover personal experiences, situations and feelings, as well as invented stories with fictional characters.These four guys are ready to present their set, consisting of rather calmer and slow songs, as well as fast and aggressive songs, combining pop-influenced melodies with more advanced technical arrangements, in almost any venue to almost any audience who would show up.
