7Up is our new weekly wrap up with 7 songs you might have missed but definitely should not have. 1. Free Throw – Randy, I’m the Liquor Well, what can I say to this song? I must have stumbled across the band on their old labels Bandcamp page and it was everything I expected from a band releasing through Count Your Lucky Stars! Randy, I’m the Liquor is the first single from their upcoming second full length Bear Your Mind dropping May 26th via the much bigger label Triple CrownRead More

Okay, okay, this post is filed in the video section even though this is not really a video. But look, I had to share this with you. To be honest, I was never that much into Sorority Noise, I mean they always popped up in my feed, in playlists or on tour schedules. But I never connected properly with them. This might be about to change though. No Halo might be the fresh start I needed with this band. The song speaks about death and how to deal with it.Read More

Figures by Jessie Reyez is probably the best song you’ll hear all week. Don’t get me wrong here, this site is not going into some sort of Blog-overhype-mode, but this song is brilliant. Trust me. It all started late last week. I was sitting on the Sbahn back home on Friday night. After work I met a friend at our usual Friday night bar for a few beers and some conversations. It wasn’t a late night, but late enough to feel a little dizzy from the beers and cigarettes. JustRead More

It’s been too long since Rudi Maier aka Burkini Beach last released a song and could it come any more fitting to this time of year than World At Our Fingertips? The song is probably the most Bright Eyes influenced song so far and it suits Maier really well. We’re biting our fingernails while we’d have the world at our fingertips he sings in the chorus before subtly changing the words to we’re biting our fingernails down and then we’re biting our fingertips. It’s the little things that make thisRead More

Oh German punk, you are truly doing well. If you hear and watch the new song by Farben/Schwarz called Jahr der Schlange there’s no other possible outcome. The last months brought us new albums by Turbostaat, Captain Planet, Fjørt or Kmpfsprt and Farben/Schwarz do foster your appetite for their upcoming EP. Heavy guitars, thundering drums and aggressive vocals broken up by clean verses and breaks. Jahr der Schlange is probably their best song to date. On it, the band shuffles between post-rock breaks, Fjørt heavyness and Kmpfsprt’s thorough energy. GetRead More

This year is shaping up to be a great year for music. While the whole world falls victim to ugly terrorist attacks, disgusting right wing propaganda and the seething death of our planet, music is a welcome distraction. The Hotelier are one of the bands whose record I am looking forward to the most. Piano Player is the first proper song (ballad Goodness Pt. I put aside) – and if the band isn’t going to blow up with this record I don’t know who will. Home, Like NoPlace is thereRead More

We have a weak spot for the Northern German punk rock. Our readers should know this by now. One band in particular is Turbostaat. We really liked their last album Abalonia and we kept telling you how great they are live. Now they have recorded a little session at Off the Road Studios. Apart from the band ripping through their new song Ruperts Gruen there’s also an old Märchenonkel who tells us about the band sitting in a comfy chair. Even though you won’t understand what he’s on about ifRead More

Leoniden are back. Do you remember these guys? Their last EP was released by the now defunct indie label Delikatess Tonträger in 2014. It was an infectious blend of groovy audio-sexyness. And to be honest, I was asking myself a few times now, what the band has been up to recently. And now we know. 1990 is the first song from a new upcoming EP titled Two Peace Signs. We can only go as far as saying, that even with a new lead singer, the band is totally killing it!Read More

Punk, rock and German indie these are the poles between which Astairre have set foot. Ich hasse meine Freunde is the first song from their upcoming EP So lange wir noch funktionieren. And it’s a belter. I have to admit that I’m not totally unbiased here – I’ve met bassist Robin on a long night out at Reeperbahn Festival a couple years back. Since then I’ve been tracking what the band is up to. With Unter Schafen Records they have finally found the right home for their sound. And ifRead More

A Tale of Golden Keys are just great. We talked about our love for last year’s album Everything Went Down As Planned and now Three Weeks is the next single from it. Do you remember the piano in the swimming pool in the video for All Of It? It plays an important part in this video again. Just listen to the song and enjoy the slow visuals popping bye and let the little story unfold. I’m sure there’s a deeper meaning to it and I have my own theory. ButRead More
