In an interview with ByteFM, musician Knarf Rellöm talks about his earliest memories of music and his childhood on Mercury and Saturn. He also explains why punk is reactionary and wonders what's wrong with squares.
In the 1990s, Knarf Rellöm founded the band Huah!, whose lineup included Bernadette La Hengst and Mense Reents. Since then, Knarf Rellöm has performed under various pseudonyms, such as Knarf Rellöm Trinity, A Tribe Called Knarf, and Knarf Rellöm Arkestra. Under the latter name, he released the album "Kritik der Leistungsgesellschaft" (Critique of the Performance-Oriented Society) in 2022.
