TRAUDES straddle the line between hip hop and (electronic) pop, combining powerful vocal lines with pure rap. The Amsterdam band deliverstight beats, strong lyrics, a convincing, groovy live show and tons of energy. They released their first EP 'CRLS & GRLS' in January, and it is full of raw break-up stories set against the backdrop of the city of Amsterdam in the form of testimonies from the band members about darker periods of booze, drugs and women.
