This is the third EP from this increasingly brilliant German two-piece band.
I have to admit, I heard their first two records in passing and thought they were cool,
but even though there are only a pair of instruments on this platter, this is a record
and band that takes a few listens to really sink in. It´s obvious these guys are well versed
in early German punk like SLIME and VORKRIEGSJUGEND, but their seemingly simple
songs offer up a lot more stylistic variations than I thought. All the tracks
are catchy, most offer dual vocals ( the male/female chorus on "Exess" is great )
, and the riffs are driving, but also melodic and expertly linked. Flipside opener
"Rei Bung" sounds like the SELBY TIGERS gone hardcore and the closing track
"Neue Kreise" is like the TYRADES channeling HÜSKER DÜ, fucking bananas, but
somehow they make it all work. An invigorating EP and one of the best
Deutschpunk records in recent memory. Get into it.
