Schnipo Schranke is a two-girl band consisting of the teenagers Friederike Ernst and Daniela Reis.

Discovered by Rocko Schamoni, their first underground fame brought them, despite their studies of cello and recorder at the HDFMK in Frankfurt, gigs as opening band of Nuclear Raped Fuck Bomb at the Festsaal Berlin Kreuzberg and of HGichT at the Kampnagel in Hamburg, among others. When Fritzi's budgie died after a long illness, the BFFs moved to Hamburg for a strategic reorientation and musical takeover.

Stylistically, the duo classify themselves between metapunk, post-hit and progressive chanson.
