I hope the Easter holidays are pleasant and you can relax and unwind from the drudgery of everyday life and enjoy some good music. Today I'm coming to a rare record that's not without interest. Not necessarily a Punk classic, but an important building block of the Hanover underground scene. After the debut Inkubationszeit lead singer Bernie left the band, and the previous drummer Micha, took the mic. Thomas "Tier" Wolff of the Cretins and Blut+Eisen became the new drummer, and the second and final album was finally released on Frostschutz Records and represents a significant step in the band's development. Musically, the album oscillates between Punk, NewWave, and Post-Punk, making it an interesting document of the early Eighties. Thirteen rough and unpolished songs with an energetic guitar riffs and driving rhythms. They shine with a variety of sound textures to convey their messages, with the use of synthesizers in some tracks adding a futuristic touch. Particularly noteworthy are the catchy melodies, which exude a certain optimism despite the often dark lyrics. The words are characterized by a mixture of irony and seriousness. Topics such as alienation, social norms, and dealing with one's own identity are addressed in a direct and often provocative way. The band manages to create a connection between personal experiences and social observations, making the lyrics both relatable and thought-provoking. It sounds very authentic and passionate, which is also reflected in the energy of the recordings. Overall, a very good record with catchy melodies and a valuable piece of German music history from the early rebel years.
