What the fuck is the sophomore jinx? These 4 guys are better now than ever and happily serve you 40 Minutes of inconvenient joy. Awesome.- Format

Already having plaid in a couple of other bands over the last decades they are quite experienced musici- ans and have nally found their perfect sound together. THE LOST TAPES are combining early 80's post punk & wave (Joy Division & Wipers) with the dark sound of nowadays' bands like the Estranged, Grave Pleasures or Arctic Flowers. Very catchy echoic/reverberant guitar and vocal melodies meet prominent bass lines and straight drumming. Also, awesome cover by Roger Ballen.- Format

MESSER
Augen
"Die Gruppe Messer aus Münster, das sind Hendrik, Pascal, Pogo und Philipp. In dieser Konstellation handelt es sich um vier Individuen, die ihre kulturellen Einflüsse und Sozialisationen auf verschiedenste Art und Weise gesammelt und erfahren haben. Die Schnittmenge, die diese 4 Musiker zusammengeführt hat ist schnell zu benennen: Punk. Es wäre einfach jetzt zu sagen, Messer sei eine Punkband. Das sind sie, aber im gleichen Atemzug sind sie viel mehr (Perspektive: viel weniger) als das, denn die Gruppe Messer möchte sich sicherlich in diesem Genre ausleben, steht dabei aber sämtlichen Genres der Musik, sowie sämtlichen Kunst- und Kulturformen - wie Literatur, Film oder Malerei – offen entgegen und lässt sich gerne durch 'das andere' inspirieren „Messer“, ein Instrument, dass in seiner Simplizität so genial ist und deswegen in seiner nahezu ursprünglichen Form schon unzählige Generationen von Menschen überlebt hat. In erster Instanz ist ein Messer ein Instrument, welches dem Zwecke dient zu dekonstruieren. Dabei kann es belassen werden (vgl. Messer als Waffe) oder aber, es dekonstruiert um zu konstruieren (vgl. Messer als Küchenwerkzeug). Darüber hinaus ist ein Messer spitz, scharf, präzise und auf dem Punkt. Beim Hören der Songs, die die Gruppe Messer im Sommer diesen Jahres (2011) auf ihrem „Alle Tage“ Demotape (April, Top-5 Records) bzw. auf 7“ Vinyl (Juni, Tusk Records) vorgestellt haben, wird schnell klar, dass hier keine Kids mehr am Werke sind, sondern zu Musikern herangereifte Kids. Die Musik als solche wirkt ebenso durchdacht wie die düsteren, intelligenten Texte. So dringt ein wahnsinnig treibendes, teilweise fast schon krautiges Schlagzeug ohne Umwege direkt in meine Beine. Der kräftige Bass hängt wie Blei in meinem Hals und zieht mich würgend auf den Boden, während die Gitarre (wenn sie sich entfaltet, denn sie wird auch gerne mal 'nur' als Akzentgeber fungieren), mich abholt und in eine andere Welt oder vielmehr eine andere Wahrnehmung trägt. Die warme, aber kratzende Stimme tut ihr übriges um mich in Trance zu versetzen und mich in einem Fiebertraum als sprachgewandter und schweigsamer Abel Nema durch die Gassen dieser Nacht zu schleifen. Dann ist alles auch schnell vorbei und obwohl ich nicht wirklich weiß, worüber jetzt in den Liedern, in Form von verständlichen (Wörtern) aber gleichzeitig kryptischen (Konstellation) Texten gesprochen wird, fühle ich es. Es geht um Isolation, Verzweiflung, Orientierungslosigkeit, Enttäuschung, Wut etc. pp.. Es geht um die dunkle Seite des Mondes, jene Seite die nicht zum Vorschein kommt oder kommen soll. Jene Seite, die man als Mensch gerne im verborgenen lässt. Dabei ist die Gruppe Messer keinesfalls ein Katalysator für das Negative im Menschen. Die Gruppe Messer ist vielmehr eine authentische Auseinandersetzung mit eben jenen Facetten der eigenen Empfindung und Wahrnehmung, mit den man sich nicht so gerne befasst. Eine Komplementierung. Und am Ende frage ich mich, ob es Sinn macht über die Gruppe Messer zu schreiben, wenn alles, was man darüber sagen könnte, viel deutlicher wird, wenn es gehört und gefühlt wird.. So wie es keinen Sinn ergibt, auf Fotografien von Nan Goldin tanzen zu wollen." (Dennis "Eazy-D" Woste, 2011)- Format

MEXICAN WOLFBOYS
for the want of a home
[engl] Bookers and promoters use to file the Mexican Wolfboys as “Punkrock with upright bass”, “Punkabilly” or “Psychobilly/Punkrock”. But their wild blend of Punk, Surf, Country, Blues, Soul and Rockabilly refuses to fit such narrow categories. This Rock’n’Roll melting pot might rather remind listeners of other genre breaking bands like The Clash, Against Me! or The Peacocks. And indeed the Mexican Wolfboys don’t have any formula to their song writing. They just love what they do, which is hanging out, playing music and drinking beer on park benches. The band started out as a four-piece in early 2009 with Bene on drums, Lukas on guitar, Marc on vocals and Walid on upright bass. In late 2009 Jup joined in on rhythm guitar. With the completed line-up they played a couple of shows and recorded a demo in April 2010. Supporting various national and international Psychobilly and Punkrock bands in the following years the band grew into a roaring and howling live appearance. Around the turn of 2011 and 2012 the boys entered the studio again to record their first full-length. The result is “For The Want Of A Home”, an album that reflects the band’s love for guitar-driven music and captures their energy as a live band, as well as their charisma and humour. Played with just the right amount of passion and pathos, these twelve sing-alongs display a punk at heart spirit and a taste for vintage Rock’n’Roll sounds. Yeah! Beer!- Format

skatization of the christian west
[engl] The rst sign of life after nearly 5 years from these ve gentlemen out of Aachen. And a lot has happened since their debut in 2012. It's still the same talented group of snotty punk rockers (members of WHEN THERE IS NONE, FOR THE DAY, SHERIDAN, DKB ...) but they got rid of the upright bass and replaced the 'psychobilly" with a solid portion of "skate". The songwriting on "Skatization of the Christian West" is sophisticated and intelligent, so are the lyrics and don't get me started on the awesome cover/artwork. 10 great songs of melodic punk rock with occasionally background choir mixed in, a Gorilla Biscuits cover and a clear message - Skate the system!- Format

It’s like singer Marco says: “it’s a blend of post punk a la Wire, Joy Divisi- on mixed with some electro in the vein of the Units, Screamers, Vicious Visions and a dose of Scandinavian / Euro punk like Mass- hysteri, Tristess, Invasionen etc.”- Format

MODERN PETS
plastic mind
[engl] Modern Pets were born in the beginning of 2009 by four friends who shared an unhealthy dosage of despise against the south German yuppie-zone around Stuttgart, as one of many band projects they already had. After a few first shows and a demo recorded in their practice room and released by F.Y.I.T.H. Records, it happened that everyone decided to put as much time as possible into the band, rather than get into the next boring job or another pointless band and so things started getting serious…. A first 7” was recorded in January 2010 by Smail Shock in Berlin, named “Killing Sounds For Rotten People” and hit directly into the picture that was drawn by 70s UK and 80s US Punkbands before. This release, which was followed by two European tours in summer and fall 2010, sold out within a few months and two more 7”s (re-release of the demo tape and “Vista-Alienation”) emphasized their standing as one of the hardest working bands in this genre! Meanwhile located in Berlin, they put out their first longplayer on P.Trash and Concrete Jungle Records, as well as Modern Action Records in the US in June 2011. This release was followed by a 4 week European tour in summer and another 2 week tour in fall, which brought the guys to countries like Switzerland, France, Spain, Netherlands, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Italy, Czech Republic, Hungary […] and was extremely successful, which got them also a lot of attention by the European underground music press. Again the new record was sold out within a few weeks and needed to be repressed quickly. Now here ya go with four fresh tunes for a rotting Eurotour! “They lit their snot-filled crackerjacks on their cigarette butts and throw them straight into the face of all the yuppie scum and career advisors, covering the cities in good old 77´ styled Punkrock slime! Snotty and wild Punk songs with damn fine lyrics that will leave all hipster punks drooling in their fancy drinks and pissing their designer pants in awe.”- Format

But this name dropping doesn't do the band justice. NIGHTMEN are just a really good Garage/Punk/Power Pop Band and these brand new songs prove it impressively.- Format

[engl] Six song shooter from this awesome new band that hails from Berlin. PRETTY HURTS easily combine punk rock with noise, melody and with different layers of post hardcore. And they get away with it! These nervous half a dozen tracks sound like an angrier version of some DC Bands during the 'Revolution Summer' mixed with post-modern scandinavian noise bands. In other words, this debut ep 'Make Graves' will probably remind you of bands like Rites of Spring, Samiam and Lower. You won't find any moments of dullness on this!
