EINKAUF AKTUELL
BLUTENDER MANN VOR LANDSCHAFT (MARBLED ECO VINYL) (SMITH AND MILLER)
Second album of the band around Dirk Kranz, once relevant as King Kranz in the 1990s with DOG FOOD FIVE in the 77 garage punk scene.
Since then active in BERLIN DISKRET, FRANTIC ROMANTICS, TONYA HARDINGS among others.The band sees itself like this: "Four relatively semi looking guys from Berlin who like cold beer, old punk rock and new wave, expectable guitar-bass-keyboards-drums line-up, unspectacular music, well, your taste decides.
Fuck you and kisses, kisses! "EINKAUF AKTUELL have once again done everything themselves, from recording to mixing to artwork, and have remained pleasantly true to themselves: Snappy NDW punk between DER MODERNE MAN, and the KFC, lyrically one approaches the GOLDEN ZITRONEN, the span ranges from toxic to absurd.
Kranz himself reminds in parts of an amused Rumpelstilz mix of Helge Schreiber and Frank Z.
Superb! Underpinned by a snappy sound: Rough guitar riffs, strong bass line and squeaky-spacious electronics.
Has proper drive! Drawer: Scurrile best entertainment for cynical capital city-damaged, 15 nasty songs on entertaining 45 minutes.
Extra: DLC included!
