FRACHTER • Bad Sterben • LP

Gunner Records

Emo Deutschpunk from Weimar, in the style of ...But Alive and early Muff Potter.

"Bad Sterben" impresses with its powerful, three-dimensional sound, memorable melodies, and a consistently rich mix. Frachter’s highly complex and dominant drumming — full of unexpected breaks — is, like the emotionally intense vocals, not exactly new, but noticeably more refined.

At the same time, "Bad Sterben" thrives on its songwriting, clever phrasing, and intriguing wordplay — including inventive neologisms like “Was nicht passt, wird passend gehasst”.

Without ever losing its humorous edge, every lyric bursts with longing. And despite clear nods to the great lyricists of past generations, not a single line feels like a copy.
