Thanks Wikipedia for the info, but this is not about the city Freiburg. It’s about the punk band you dumb f…
Kanüle Abwärts is the first sign of the band’s new album Brief & Siegel out October 2nd via This Charming Man records. And to be honest, I didn’t remember the band being so heavy! While the last record Aufbruch was deeply rooted in German punk (think Turbostaat, Düsenjäger) this first song shows a heavier production. The talking/singing mixture has made way to heavy screams. Their last record wasn’t a pretty affair neither, but this is taking it up a whole notch. If it’s anything to go by Brief & Siegel could be an unexpected punk highlight of the year!
Pre-orders for the album are up and running. Get hooked on vinyl here or the CD here.
