4	Schandmaul (translates to "foulmouth") are a German band that helped to create and popularise the genre of Medieval Rock, and brought it to mainstream attention. They tend to play songs meant to evoke the style of a court jester's tunes, or popular medieval folk songs, using a combination of modern instruments along with older ones such as bagpipes, hurdy-gurdy, and so on. Their name refers the tendency to sing about things that some might consider to be offensive, and the frequent {{Take That}}s inherent within. They're made up of six people, each with their own specialty in instruments, but all of them will switch between different ones during concerts.

6	In keeping with the "jester" background of their name and music, the lyrical content is usually funny, semi-political, and almost always tells a story of some kind.

8	!! Tropes exemplified by Schandmaul:
9
10	* {{An Aesop}}: One of their songs, ''Die letzte Tröte'' ("''The Last Whistle''") is about a ruler who wants to ban all music, and how this in turn incites all the people to rise up against him.
11	* {{Audience Participation Song}}: Most of their work is this. Special mention goes to ''Trinklied'' - literally, "''Drinking Song''".
12	* {{Fanservice}}: The two women sometimes dress in such a way as to best show off their looks...
13	* {{Knight In Shining Armor}}: TheHero in their song ''Drachentöter'' ("''Dragonslayer''") is a classical example.
14	* {{Sliding Scale Of Idealism Versus Cynicism}}: Way on the idealistic side. Sometimes at least.
