DUC - Vor Dem Sprung 1999

The weekend starts with a band from Gelsenkirchen: Doves Under Chairwalk changed their name to DUC in the early 90s for two reasons: The circumstance that the band sang only German lyrics was one, but the main reason was that they have changed their guitarist. From then on, his influence was gone but the band refused to be the same band. So they did not want to change their name completely but worked on under the shortcut of their previous name: DUC. DUC is emotional punk rock from the heart of the Ruhr area and as classic trio, they play fast and trashy with less emphasis on solos and other flourishes than much more on melody and feeling. After two EP's their debut album was released via Bad Taste Records and comes with eleven slightly melancholic songs but always with speed, never lethargic, and maybe fits well with the dark season (yes yes pathetic, I know). But whoever likes emotional music will like this record. Since 2010 the band consisted of Uli on drums, Guddi zupft bass and Tom sings and plays guitar. The last record came out in 2014, since then it has become quiet about the three.
