Guano Apes came out of Göttingen, Germany, in 1994, with Sandra Nasić's voice cutting through a racket of alt-rock and nu metal like a switchblade. Henning Rümenapp on guitars, Stefan Ude on bass and Dennis Poschwatta on drums all pitch in on backing vocals, and between them they welded metal, pop and rap into a sound heavy enough to mosh to and catchy enough to hum.
Their 1997 album Proud Like a God, on GUN Records, brought "Open Your Eyes", a coiled, explosive blast built on crunchy riffs and Nasić's snarling, soaring hooks, and "Lord of the Boards" showed they could ride a groove just as hard. The MTV Europe Music Awards named them Best German Act in 2000.
They have put out five studio albums along with a live album, two compilations and five video albums.
