100 KILO HERZ • Zurück Nach Hause (red Vinyl) • LP
Release date: 1. September 2023
The third studio album by the Leipzig-based "Punks with Horns" is available as an LP (Inside-Out cover with transparent relief gloss finish, Red Clear Vinyl, 180 grams, LP booklet) on Bakraufarfita.
After seven years of being a band and three years after the surprising chart success of their predecessor "Stadt Land Fluss" (ranked 20th), the sextet led by singer and bassist Rodi is now more in the spotlight than ever before. Despite the limitations in the live music scene during the pandemic years, the band played remarkably many and increasingly larger live shows, accompanied by a steadily growing interest. And the twelve brand-new songs meet the rising expectations head-on: 100 Kilo Herz knows exactly where it's headed.
With astonishing ease, they deliver anthemic refrains paired with two-voice horn hook fanfares. The driving, melodic punk rock is arranged even more diversely than before, and the sound is more transparent and powerful. The themes of the songs are chosen and sung with precision. Critiques of right-wing tendencies, domestic violence, nursing shortages, or ableism stand alongside the processing of grief or losing oneself - all articulated in a language that is free of clichés and delivered with warmth. Each of these songs is a genuine punk rock hit! Recorded, produced, mixed, and mastered by Michael Czernicki (Antilopen Gang, Rogers).
