This is Cobra Killer's fifth full-length studio album. Cobra Killer are Gina V. D'Orio and Annika Line Trost. Both have played in bands in the former West Berlin since the age of 12/13. They formed Cobra Killer in January of 1998, touring through Europe and revolutionizing the then-boring electronic music scene with their raucous show. In 2002, they took Australia and New Zealand by storm, supporting Peaches on various shows, including the Big Day Out Festival. Shortly afterwards, they were also a support act for Sonic Youth, who were very impressed by the Cobra movement. Recently, they have wowed capacity crowds supporting big names such as Marilyn Manson and Jon Spencer, who also guests on two tracks on this album. Uppers And Downers sees Cobra Killer sounding as defiant and as unpredictable as ever. Recorded in part at Einstürzende Neubauten's andereBaustelle studio in Berlin, and featuring appearances by other such special guests such as J. Mascis and Thurston Moore, the record is a roller-coaster ride that sees the band pushing the limits and again going way beyond expectations to deliver an album that's sure to please their many fans. Chock-full of totally pounding, crazed electro-punk/new-wave mishmash, and some less likely surprises.

"Berlin's hottest act in town, Cobra Killer, are a reaction against the dullness of electro stage shows. Their stage presence has always been as over the top as their sound. They have influenced many women with their wild and pioneering work. Peaches' first show was supporting Cobra Killer. They have also delighted artists from Underground Resistance to Sonic Youth. 'We played a couple of shows these last few nights in Germany with a band called Cobra Killer that completely knocked us out...it's two girls and a sampler, and it was just phenomenal...' (Thurston Moore). Cobra Killer's new album 76/77 sounds hot and highly energetic -- '60s feel electronic rock with subversive lyrics and sharp breaks. They worked with artists such as the Devastations, Patric Catani, T. Raumschmiere, Erik D. Clark, Thomas Fehlmann and Rashad Becker. The two girls sampled, programmed and screamed and here we have their masterpiece: 76/77."
