history
The band was founded in the early 1990s under the name Orange Fields . A short time later, WEA Records became aware of the band and signed them. In the months that followed, the WEA clearly got involved in the band's activities. The musicians should sing in German instead of English texts . The band name and the dress style of the musicians have also been adapted. The new band name Trieb should stand for impulsive, forward-going music, but was often wrongly misinterpreted as a sex drive . In 1995 the debut album Groove Nation was released. The album title is a reference to the album One Nation Under a Groove by the band Funkadelic . The music video for the first single Sexmonster received a lot of airplay on the TV channel VIVA and earned the band a nomination for the Comet music prize .
Shortly before the release of their debut album, the band had a serious accident with their bus when a tire burst at 120 km / h. The vehicle got out of control, rolled over and was torn open by a guardrail . The musicians got away with bruises , concussions and broken ribs . A short time later, the guitarist Stephan Riemer left the band and was replaced by Markus Höhle. Trieb then played several tours in the opening act for H-Blockx and Such a Surge , before starting work with producer Andreas Herbig on her second studio album, Immortal , with which, according to drummer Elmar Walljasper, the band came out of the “crossover uniformity “Wanted to break out. Two singles were released before the band broke up a little later.
style
Trieb called their style "Groovecore". Markus Kavka from the German magazine Metal Hammer described the band as a “link between the consternation and the fun faction” and compared Trieb with Fleischmann and Such a Surge. His colleague Matthias Mineur pointed out on the second album that Trieb relies on "catchy melodies" instead of barking rap - spoken vocals . Musically, the band expanded their spectrum to include loops and samples .
