  • Walter Schreifels is a rock musician and producer from New York City currently living in Berlin. In the late '80s, he played in many New York hardcore bands, most notably Youth Of Today and Gorilla Biscuits (where he also acted as the songwriter and lyricist). After Gorilla Biscuits broke up, he formed the short lived Moondog. In October 2006, the band's self-titled EP was officially released for the first time ever on Anthology Recordings. It was previously available only as a bootleg 7" record. Moondog would transition into the more metal-oriented post-hardcore band Quicksand. He also collaborated with his former Gorilla Biscuits bandmates in the melodic hardcore band CIV, writing much of their first LP and one song on their follow-up LP despite not actually playing on the record. He would go on to start World's Fastest Car, a relatively short-lived project. The band recorded a demo and an EP, neither of which have been officially released. The EP was supposed to be released by Revelation Records, but that never came to fruition due to their breakup. Later, he helped create the melodic indie rock-styled band Rival Schools. After Rival Schools' dissolution, he went on to form Walter and the Motorcycles, who recorded but never released a self-titled LP and played a few shows but quickly broke up. Walking Concert, his next project, was heavily influenced by classic British acts such as Elvis Costello, The Kinks, Syd Barrett, David Bowie and The Smiths. In addition to a new solo acoustic LP scheduled for release in 2008, Schreifels reformed Rival Schools in June 2008 with plans to release a new album. As a producer, he has worked with such hardcore-related bands as Hot Water Music, Sinch, and The First Step. Recently, he produced the EP Deer Strutter, the first from UK band Cars As Weapons. He is also part owner of the record label Some Records.
  • Walter Schreifels ist ein Rockmusiker und Produzent aus New York City. Er lebt derzeit in Berlin. In den späten 1980ern spielte er in vielen New-York-Hardcore-Bands, vor allem Youth of Today (Bass) und Gorilla Biscuits (Songwriting, Gitarre). Ab 1989 – noch vor der Auflösung der Gorilla Biscuits – gründete er die Band Moondog, deren unveröffentlichte Aufnahmen und Demos erst im Oktober 2006 durch Anthology Recordings veröffentlicht wurden. Nach einem Konzert im CBGB wurde aus Moondog die stärker Metal-orientierte Post-Hardcore-Band Quicksand. Schreifels arbeitete in der Pop-Punk-Band CIV weiterhin mit den Musikern seiner ehemaligen Band Gorilla Biscuits zusammen und schrieb viele ihrer Stücke, ohne als Musiker selbst auf der Platte zu spielen. Später half er dabei, die Melodic-Indie-Rock-Band Rival Schools zu gründen. Walking Concert, sein jüngstes Projekt, ist sehr klassisch britisch von Bands und Interpreten wie Elvis Costello, The Kinks und The Smiths beeinflusst. Eine neue Solo-Akustik-LP ist in Arbeit. Als Produzent hat er mit Hardcore-orientierten Bands wie Hot Water Music und The First Step zusammengearbeitet. Kürzlich produzierte er die EP Deer Strutter, die erste der UK-Band Cars As Weapons. Er ist auch Teilhaber des Labels Some Records. Zudem übernahm er auf dem 2008 erschienenen Album "Egotronic" von der gleichnamigen Band (deutscher Electro/-Punk) Background Vocals in dem Lied "Kotzen (feat. Walter Schreifels)".
