COCKTAILBAR STAMMHEIM - s/t LP 2011

An interesting duo called Cocktailbar Stammheim comes from Düsseldorf and the band consists of Christian (vocals/guitars) and Alex (vocals/guitars/drums) and they make amazing music, and besides Klotzs, they're the only duo I know, and that alone is remarkable. This record is their debut and was released in an edition of 500 copies, plus 100 (different artwork) for P.Trash Club members only! Songs between the beauty of failure with an angry smile, anecdotes about the stupid society, and personal views of the global threat, all wrapped up in a scratchy catchy sound how I love, definitely not a summer record. Label info: "These two trashcan-shakers were already spilling their rot-gut Punkrock as Bud White on the Killed By Trash Vol.2 compilation and now decided to open up the Cocktailbar Stammheim for everybody who doesn’t want to sip that fancy-schmancy hipster sound through a narrow-minded straw anymore. These fourteen songs are as honest as Asbach and Cola with which you flush down the ugliness of a sheeple society drinking Wodka & RedBull and running for another season of Big Brother on fucking TV. Two guitars, two feet stomping on the drums and the love for the Wipers are the base for the Bar in which these fine German songs are shaken and stirred in the best Kommando Blumen Am Angeschissen Arsch Von Oma Hans way, refined with a little shot of EA80 and a dirty dash of Superhelicopter and served with a crying angry face. Though this may probably seem to be an untypical release for the P. Trash catalog, but this record has heart and soul and every swig of it runs ardently down our dusty throats, and that’s the way we like it!" - Me too Peter (R.I.P.)
