Zerfetzer formed in Berlin in 2003 around Sven Friedrich and Diego Viera. Their 2006 single 'Chocolate in my Beer' got some attention with its oddball premise about mixing beer and chocolate, giving them a bit of traction in rock circles.
They've put out a few albums, starting with a self-titled debut that had a raw feel. Later work brought in some blues and punk touches. The lineup has shifted around Friedrich and Viera, with bassist Joonas Syrjä and drummer Dominik Kappelsberger among those who've played with them.
Songs like 'Dixi' and 'Hammer Smashed Hamster' show their taste for unconventional lyrics and heavy rock. They've drawn some criticism for being too experimental, but they've kept at it with their own approach.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
