(review) ZSK – Ende der Welt

cover

German ZSK released their sixth studio album. This time boys from Berlin deliver 12 songs of their trademark melodic and energetic punk rock with lyrics in German and one being in English. I understand German, so I can say it is a fine mix of political and personal, just the way I like it. There are some faster songs, which are my personal favorites, like awesome title song for example.

Some would say that this band has gone commercial and lost its touch and roots, but I really don´t think so, just listen to fantastic Kein Talent and lyrics hit the theme right in the eye coupled with nice punk rock and melody. The band cleverly mixes Deutschpunk, street punk, skatepunk from the nineties, ska and brings really nice punk rock and I love this record. My other highlights are Sag mir wie lange and Alle meine Freunde.

 

(review) Yeah Sure – Sasquatch Ain´t Hidden

cover

Yeah Sure are punk band from Kentucky and this is their e.p. which is in fact a concept album about funny thing of getting high with sasquatch, they call themselves cryptid punk.

This e.p. offers 6 songs of dirty, raw, almost rehearsal, garage punk rock, played kinda sloppy and with don´t give a fuck attitude and funny lyrics, but underneath there are enough horror punk influences with some really nice melodies coming out underneath all punk don´t give a fuck song structures. You gotta go with Shark Week, and song titles ordered in concept, check this out: He Is, Just, In A Cabin, In The Woods, Watching, Shark Week. Nice, eh? If you are looking for sloppy cryptid punk with fun and done diy then go support this one.
