How To Loot Brazil - Joy to Be Had (2024)

For 18 years straight, How To Loot Brazil consistently cut their own path without a care in the world. Being described as „probably Germany's best indie band“ (OX) or „even more genius than the band itself can imagine“ (VISIONS), they still stay under the radar of attention, not meeting the demands of social media as they don't have anything to sell but their music. And there's a lot: Eight albums and one EP in the last 12 years underline their impressive work ethic. Their sound can hardly be categorized but maybe best be described as eclectic indie pop with an attitude, from fast and angry (Post) Punk with Riot Girl shoutings to anthemic Indie Rock and acid flavoured dance music with an undeniable love for the 80s, giving labels and bookers a hard time to put them in their rosters. But the golden thread running through all of their songs is the undisputed commitment to catchy melodies and their frenetic drive to write ultimate pop hooks. Since How To Loot Brazil's mastermind Maik T., also ex-long time bass player for Phillip Boa And The Voodooclub, co-songwriter for Sondaschule, LOT or Kid Vincent, decided to share some of their isolated vocals, the internet is bursting with remixes by hundreds of producers around the world, e.g. Mojjo, Never Surrender, French Fuse or, most notably, Kodak Black who sampled the chorus of Errror for his massive hit Super Gremlin resulting in a billboard platinum certification and a billion streams in total.
