Beatsteaks are one of our favorite bands. That’s no secret, right? But so far we didn’t know they were big fans of cycling. Well at least that’s what they look like in their new video for Ticket. That’s right, there’s a new single and it’s not even from the album?
So is there a new Beatsteaks EP coming? No there isn’t. What is coming though, is the first proper Best Of from their time with Warner music (sorry folks, but that means no classics pre-„Living Targets“ will be on there unfortunately). Anyway, that will give everyone a great overview as to how fucking great this band actually is. Oh and Ticket is one of two new songs on there. The compilation is called „23“ and will be out 18. September to celebrate 20 years of Beatsteaks!
Here’s the full tracklist of 23:
01. Summer
02. Let Me In
03. Hand In Hand
04. Hey Du
05. I Don’t Care As Long As You Sing
06. Hello Joe
07. Frieda und die Bomben
08. Jane Became Insane
09. Cut Off The Top
10. Demons Galore
11. Meantime
12. Hail To The Freaks
13. Milk & Honey
14. Cheap Comments
15. Automatic
16. House On Fire
17. SaySaySay
18. DNA
19. Gentleman Of The Year
20. Make A Wish
21. Everything Went Black
22. Ticket
23. Mad River
