DROOGIES - Remember 1989

Some re-upps switched and now a new post: The Droogies were a three piece from Reinfeld and consisted of Kai (vocals/guitars), Wolle (bass), Jan (drums) and this is their first full length, which came one year after the debut Sometimes EP, on Nuclear Blast. Remember (came also in limited blue & red shiny vinyl) is an album that combines the essence of raw sound with emotional lyrics and the three deliver a collection of fast as well as melodic gems. This gives the whole thing a hearty and honest touch that comes straight from the heart and accompanies the words perfectly. The guitars are loud, the bass is running and the drums are driving, and the vocals are passionate. Each song is full of energy and transports strong feelings of loss, fury and a bitter self-reflection, and choruses that stick in your head. The Droogies deliver a honest and authentic performance. Some listeners might find the album a bit monotonous, as many songs have a similar structure and style, but the clean production makes up for all that and never gets boring. A classic slab I think, and you will certainly appreciate it because it conveys feelings that we all know and no one is innocent. It's just a pity that the singer later developed right-wing tendencies, but apart from that the record fits well into this theater. See for yourself!
