Peter Kernel

Peter Kernel is a swiss/canadian pop noise band. Founded in 2005 by Aris (guitar), Barbara (bass)
and Däwis (drums), the initial idea was to give
a voice to moving images. Their rehearsal room
enhances the desire to evade (musically speaking),
a filthy and dank attic of a fry house.
Highly influenced by experimental moviemaking
of the bass player Barbara (videomaker as well),
they begin to assemble tunes around the end
