As previously reported, SPV/Steamhammer will release the Roots & Rock N' Roll EP from Engrained on March 1st.

According to the label: Engrained was born in Sarstedt (Rock City) near Hannover, Germany in the early 90s as a 3-headed hardcore band. First members were Axel Niklowitz on drums, Jens “Fenne” Fennekohl bass / vocals and Olaf “Stoffi” Krebs on guitar who just arrived from SUCKSPEED.

The first relevant release was a 6-track CD called Capricious in 1992 followed by many different smaller releases and loads of appearances on samplers like on a tribute sampler for HUSKER DU together with some bigger names of the scene and POISON IDEA’s classic 'Plastic Bomb' which is still part of the actual live set.

For over 20 years Engrained rocked a lot of stages with excellent bands like THE DICKIES, PETER PAN, GLUECIFER, US BOMBS and many more. So today the fast, hard and straight Punk´n´Roll of Engrained is well known in local clubs around Hannover.

After a few changes of the lineup the actual band members are Fenne (the one´n´only since 1992) on vocals /bass, Schorse and Carlos on guitar and Gonkel on drums.
