about

Playing in a band can be a full time job, whether playing with friends for amusement or to make it big, the average band lasts for about three years, give or take. There is the common theme that transition periods in life, such as age, can be a factor. Indeed, many things can change in daily routines and lifestyle within a decade. For some bands, it simply is not about duration or schedules, but rather about chemistry affecting creative differences. For others, it might be a financial endeavour that leads to its disbandment. There’s really no main factor, but rather a combination of issues that can lead to the demise for the creativity of an ensemble by like minded characters.

Such questions are perhaps better answered by this riddle;

What keeps a band together?

Simply put, things change. For the Bermuda Idiots however, embracing change was what made them stick around for so long. Every point mentioned above, this Aarau based band went against, and saw these problematic scenarios as not part of their ethos, but rather as a reason to keep on going forward. From the genesis and fall of this band, with continuous lineup changes and genres, the sixteen songs featured in this compilation have resulted in an amalgamation of new wave, punk, ska, surrounded by a psychedelic glow full of political disdain, nostalgic anecdotes and heartbreak poems. Bermuda Idiots: ALL WE WANTED is the story of a group of people, friends, lovers, that have spent for the most part of a decade being inspired and in awe of each other. Growing, learning and sharing creativity.
