Oska Wald of Berlin garagesters Chuckamuck and member of punk combo Die Verlierer, on his solo outing – Motel Reno (LP/digital release 17/3/23 Bretford Records/Cargo) – situated on a purgatorial stretch of the Highway to Hell, where the amenities include cable TV, a door mat for dusting off your cowboy boots, running water that works most of the time, a bed with a pillow and a couple of blankets with mysterious stains – well, okay, so not much, but enough to launch a series of dreams both good and bad…

It’s hard to imagine the Berlin music scene without Wald. Not only has Chuckamuck been one of Berlin’s most popular bands since its inception more than 15 years ago, influencing many other bands here and being named as the german equivalent of the Libertines or the Black Lips with their gloriously sloppy liveshows and irrepressible energy, he has also contributed significantly to the underground scene of the capital with his unique comics and poster designs. Bretford is really happy to release his solo album this march. Hit us up for bookings as well !!

! Also, first single GRANADA just released today !
