\"\"<\/a>Ok Ok settle down you punks, power poppers & hard rockers It’s been a bumpy ride for the past few months and we’re not out of the woods quite yet what with some countries doing a hell of a lot better (Canada, New Zealand) than others (UK, USA take note).<\/p>\n

RPM is really missing heading out to live shows right now so what we thought we’d do is introduce you to some new bands we like and who should be on your radar if you’ve been paying any attention to RPM Online.\u00a0 First up from outta Canada we bring you the power poppin’ Autogramm.<\/p>\n

Autogramm is a synth-driven, power-pop trio from Vancouver drawing influences from the likes of The Cars, The Go Go’s, Gary Numan, 20\/20 and Devo. The band members are Jiffy Marx of Brooklyn\u2019s Hard Drugs and Vancouver\u2019s Blood Meridian, CC Voltage of Berlin\u2019s Dysnea Boys, London\u2019s Loyalties and Vancouver\u2019s Black Halos and Spitfires, and The Silo of Vancouver\u2019s Black Mountain, Lightning Dust and Destroyer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Just who the Hell are Autogramm?<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Jiffy: Are any of us still who we were pre-COVID?!<\/div>\n
C.C.: We’re three dudes who tried to make a song that sounded like 20\/20 and it became a real band. Jiffy Marx, C.C. Voltage and The Silo.<\/div>\n
\n
Where you from?<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Jiffy: Not sure if its official yet but we are from Vancouver Canaduh and Chicago “The Windy City” IL<\/div>\n
C.C. I’m from a suburb\u00a0of Vancouver called Abbotsford; the bible belt of Canada. Perhaps why I’ve also spent many\u00a0years in Berlin and Cologne.<\/div>\n
\n
How did the band come together?<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Jiffy: We\u2019ve all moved around and traveled a lot but in 2017 we were all living in Vancouver and decided to start a New Wave\/Post-punk\/Powerpop band.<\/div>\n
C.C. Jiffy was visiting Berlin and we decided we wanted to start something while we listened to a 20\/20 LP in Kreuzberg.<\/div>\n
