ABOUT Laurel Sin
Laurel Sin is the tag that denotes four Hamburg-based musicians and their timeless sound between Rockabilly, Dark Surf, Country and Tarantinoesque movie scores. Having their roots in classic Rockabilly music, their sound undogmatically blends the elements of related musical styles and delivers a contemporary approach towards a classic vintage sound. Their classic line-up consists of lead and backing vocals, two guitars, an upright bass and drums. They perform a powerful set, ranging from their own material to well known classics and obscure highlights of the whole musical era. |
