More Is More
[engl] Fix blew me away with their debut single a couple years ago – not from the music, but from the fact that they just called themselves “Fix”, blatantly swiping the name of one of the greatest American hardcore pioneers for their basement-y sounding weird-punk band. This time around, it appears Fix is an actual live band, and with that came a stylistic shift. Rather than blasting out some direct-to-laptop egg-punk full of neon farts and irritating-on-purpose motifs, they’ve transitioned to a sinewy hardcore-punk outfit, no contrivance needed. On More Is More, they come across like Germany’s answer to Hank Wood & The Hammerheads. The drumming has that same swing (and lots of cowbell!), and the vocalist delivers his shouts in short staccato bursts, much in the Hank Wood manner. Can’t say with certainty that Fix are intentionally aping Hank Wood this time around, but the similarities are certainly glaring, and Hank Wood are one of the most popular underground punk bands, or at least were a year or two ago, so it wouldn’t be a total shock. Thankfully, Fix do well with that same set of sonic characteristics, and the lack of singalong hooks might be more due to my lack of fluent German than their lack of catchiness. Now then, if some other band from Leipzig starts calling themselves The Necros and sounds eerily like Chubby & The Gang, my tolerance will truly be put to the test. - Yellow Green Red- Format

DISPO / TELESATAN
s/t
[engl] Dispo, at times, sounds like a more urgent, chaotic Death Wish Kids, certainly no easy feat if you're familiar with that band's sneering, crazed brand of streetpunk. At other times it's luSCHIACH

[engl] Over the last five years, there’s been no shortage of TOTAL CONTROL-type bands on the international scene. I’m here to tell you that SCHIACH is one of the finer such units. Maybe that’s becauseBATTRA//
2014 - 2017
[engl] If I told you the career-spanning collection of Halle, German’s drum and bass duo Battra//, 2014-2017, began with a sample of Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting, you might not believe me. Or, in thALDI OST
s/t
[engl] "Aldi Ost: the debut of the male-fronted punk discounter. With a sympathetic and healthy pissedness, the distorted vocals wail their way through the seven songs, over the cutting surf guitar of the eaF.E.I.D.L.
Wödmusik
[engl] The first F.E.I.D.L. full length! And just like the 7", everything just fits here again! Viennese dialect, brass band music, this guitar made of glass-cutting sugar and one or two stories from life inÖPNV
Deutsch Funk Revolte
[engl] It’s such a pleasant association for me that I was willing to allow ÖPNV a little ska-punk if they wanted, but this Berlin post-punk group clearly have no interest in any form of skanking. Theirs i
