Notic Nastic is an intriguing, anonymous group of New York/Berlin-based musicians fronted by their strikingly beautiful, chameleon-like band-mate who acts as the face of the band. Together, they deliver their unique sound and energy with a fierce yet almost alien sensuality. After receiving much critical acclaim throughout Europe with their debut album and energetic live shows, Notic Nastic's clear voice and message inspires people to be aware, to take action and to go Fullscreen. This fierce follow-up to their debut release, It's Dark But It's Okay (STRIKE 110CD) draws influence from the two vibrant cities they represent. Fullscreen is playful but contains a potent and positive message. That message is for people to wake up to the forces that manipulate our choices in this world, to no longer be sedate and inactive but to make informed decisions about who and what they support. Their distinctive sound combines hard-hitting, finely-crafted beats, combined with soft yet profoundly passionate lyrics and vocals. The opening track "Cyanide" is a revelation -- fearless and honest. The fast-paced, twisted industrial sounds are matched with the storytelling of an awakening, of breaking free of constraints. Notic Nastic will tour again, bringing the energetic live shows they are both recognized and celebrated for. Notic Nastic want you to know that this is the age of information and the truth will set you free.

Shitkatapult's first album release in 2010 is the exciting debut by New York and Berlin group Notic Nastic. It's Dark But It's Okay tells a story about a girl as she grows up and changes a lot. Not a real coming of age thing, but more a collage of life. The soul of the story is that no one is just one character. We will each be 1,000 different things to 1,000 different people in the world... ID is slippery. The album features a great deal of electronic music, kicking, forward, disturbing, as well as easy, pop music based on fat beats. Right off the bat, the first three songs "Let Go," "Stupid Happy" and "Secret Life" grow an intense mixture of music elements that remind you of some cocktail of Missy Elliot, T.Raumschmiere and the typical Shitkatapult out-of-nowhere style. A perfect picture of a human life that assembles the results of the neverending morphs we all go through. The album also fantasizes about the quiet, inner vision you have of yourself that no other person will ever completely see or understand: "The Secret Life." Notic Nastic draws this riddle in musically-perfect praxis: 13 songs blend fast breaks, variable parts, catchy refrains and disturbing, but always grooving, breaks and bridges. Notic Nastic makes pumping, popped-out, strangely addictive electronic bon-bons where twisted vocals meet freaky beats. Besides this fantastic debut album, Notic Nastic has already drawn great feedback with their live-performances. They wear glowing masks and put out big beats. Their show has a great, energetic output with power, acid and life. No matter how weird or dark things get, there is lots of fun to be had -- so shut up, chill out and shake that ass.
