L'Point, the indie-rock minimalists from Prague, left port heading towards new horizons with their 2001 debut "Aquila Bert"on Silver Rocket/Minority Records (SRR14/MIN11).They surprised themselves with the intensity yet dreaminess of their contribution to the ongoing history of punk rock. Members hail from such signature Czech bands as Tom is My Sugar, Ember, Lvmen, Interrogation Point and Toxicka Psychoza. With these deverse elements combined L'Point has found itself on a similar path as groundbreaking bands from 4AD and Dischord. Though inspired by 90's sounds L'Point is not engaging on a sentimental journey but rather cutting a new swath with an extraordinary balance between English fragility and American intensity. LŐPoint has passed many milestones in the last two years. A split single with Day After recording artists Anyway released on Silver Rocket and recorded by Ondrej Jezek of OTK found Rock and Pop magazine nominating them for best new artist for 2000.L'Point decided to continue recording with Ondrej Jezek who has worked with the influential Jonathan Burnside (Melvins, Nirvana, Consolidated, Depeche Mode). L'Point and Jezek teamed up with American producer Kip Beelman (U wound, Built to Spill, Sleater-Kinney) to produce the emphatic sound of the full length debut "Aquila Bert". In support of the new release L'Point has played the Czech Republic's two biggest outdoor festivals Rock for People and Trutnov Open Air as well as touring Austria,Poland,Czech Republic and Hungary.The single "Kriegswichtig"has recieved play on the legendary John Peel Show on BBC. L'Point has supported such acts as A Drastic Measure, Chokebore (Punk in My Vitamins), Juno (De Soto), and Pleasure Forever (Sub Pop). The band is currently working on material for their next full length release with new member Dada formerly of Ember and Lvmen.
