Back in Israel, the band grew even stronger and started crossing into mainstream awareness, headlining the rock stages of the biggest Israeli festivals and constantly earning more and more attention from the local media.

THE TEX AVERY SYNDROME sind bei den abgedrehtesten Metalbands Deutschlands ganz vorne mit dabei! Die Frankfurter Fünfercombo um Powerfrontfrau Laura Gierl entleiht ihren Bandnamen dem legendären amerikanischen Cartoonisten Tex Avery, der einst weltbekannte Figuren wie Bugs Bunny, Duffy Duck oder Schweinchen Dick prägte. Und ähnlich rasant wie dessen Trickfilme geht auch diese Band ab. Musikalisch brausen TTAS im offenen Cabrio auf der Überholspur den Highway zwischen Modern Metal und Hardcore entlang und nehmen unterwegs auch mal klassische Rockeinflüsse mit. So viel Energie steckt an: Eine TTAS-Show knallt lauter als eine Ladung Comic-Dynamit, ist irrer als die Looney Tunes, mindestens so hyperaktiv und atemlos wie eine Roadrunner-Verfolgungsjagd und steckt voller Überraschungen!
Nach dem erfolgreichen EP-Debüt „Wolfcity“ (Finest Noise, 2015) legen THE TEX AVERY SYNDROME mit „ORIGIN“ (VÖ 04.10.2019) ihr mit Spannung erwartetes Full-Length-Debüt vor. Elektrisierende Riffs, punchige Basslines und rasende Beats; am Mikrophon die wohl brutalste weibliche Stimme, die der deutsche Metalunderground derzeit zu bieten hat: THE TEX AVERY SYNDROME beweisen ein untrügliches Gespür für Melodien, Rhythmik und dynamisches Songwriting und schaffen es auf „ORIGIN“ über alle zwölf Tracks hinweg immer wieder Spannung aufzubauen und zu überraschen. Zentnerschwere Breakdowns und ein packender Groove entfesseln Wut und Aggression, garantieren ungehemmte Moshpitfreuden, Nackenschmerz- und Ohrwurmpotential. Klargesang wird man auf „ORIGIN“ vergeblich suchen. Trotzdem sorgt Sängerin Lauras gewaltiges Stimmrepertoire, das sowohl derbe, tiefe Growls und bissige Shouts, als auch hochemotionale Screams umfasst, für reichlich Gänsehauthautmomente. Und als Sahnehäubchen finden sich Vocalfeatures aus den Kehlen von 36 Crazyfists und First Blood! Kurz und knapp: THE TEX AVERY SYNDROME legen mit „ORIGIN“ das spannendste Albumdebüt des Jahres vor. Stay tooned!
