Influences form Charles Mingus to Frank Zappa and King Crimson to electronic club sounds. Soon to be released is UNDERKARL's maxi-LP with re-mixes by Holger Cukay (CAN), Mouse on Mars and Computer Jokeys.

Klaus von Seckendorff in Rolling Stone, 06.03:
"Selten seit Zappa waren Anarchie und Disziplin, Ohrwurm und Schrilles, Jazz und Rock so stimmig vereint wie bei Underkarl, der 5-Mann-Bigband um den Bassisten Sebastian Gramss."
4 Sterne

Markus Mayer in Süddeutsche Zeitung, 16.04.2003:
"Ohne sich in geschwätzigen Soli zu verlieren (...) bringen sie die Vorgaben auf den Punkt. Nebenbei gelingt Underkarl das Kunststück, Elektronika, Dancefloor-Ästhetik und treibende Rock-Rhythmen in einen ebenso jazzigen wie zeitgenössischen Gruppensound zu integrieren: Gil Evans' coole Bläsersätze, revitalisiert für die Zeitgeist-Lounge. Gramss' Tierleben, neon-beleuchtet, in Szene gesetzt mit viel Humor und feinem Hintersinn."
