Über Röck's newest writer, the mysterious JJ Michaels, sat down with this terror trio from the teen pregnancy capital of Europe.

 When David Whistance reviewed Orden Ogan's 'Easton Hope' album back at the start of 2010, we were all waist deep in snow and frantically headbanging to the album to keep warm. Band members Seeb (guitar/vocals) and Tobi (guitar) liked the review so much they decided to try and set up a full-on interview with our roving reporter. Now all we had to do was get them in the same place at the same time...tricky? You bet.
