(review) The Streetplants – ‘Unsere Helden Unsere Zeit’

The Streetplants are from Brunswick, Germany and this release contains five songs. This one is a crossbreed between Deutschpunk or German pop punk mixed with some grungy feel in some songs, but also melodic punk/skate punk thrown in for good measure. This is pretty raw recording being a demo of maybe even rehearsal studio recording. But, this is DIY and who cares about recording if the music is alright and this is more than alright. Lyrics are in German, this is such good language for punk rock and as I learned it in school decades ago and speak German, there are more personal themes and the music reminds me a lot of old Yugoslav punk band KBO!, their slower songs, because here prevails more mid tempo to some up tempo punk rock, this is not your ultra fast melodic hardcore punk if you thought about that, but this one has great guitar melody main lines, good vocals who could be a little more energetic in some songs and in all, has that punk energy that we all love so much. I am looking forward to future releases from this band.
