These guys are as exciting as they are fresh. The mix of Tamil with German and English in the lyrics is exciting, although it also makes understanding of parts of the songs beyond a lot of people. The Swiss accent in the Tamil rapping is particularly catchy. The music is exceptional and original. I am hoping for more egreat things to come from these guys in the future. At the very least, we all know there is now someone flying our flag in Switzerland.
