Niki Lauda Firefighters are from Berlin, Germany and they are no strangers to the pages of this webzine because we reviewed their demo a while ago. Now, it is time for their debut full length album. This beauty is an energy bomb containing 17 songs. Sounds long with too many songs? No, not at all! Because the music of Niki Lauda Firefighters is a fast mixture of skate hardcore punk, some crust and d beat here and there, also melody and straightforward punk influenced guitar work. Vocals are just right, screaming at the top of the lungs when necessary, also being a bit more melodic yet harsh at times when song atmosphere needs such voice. Lyrics are mixture of personal and humor, black irony and cinic aggression at times, greatly written. I would very much enjoy this band live, because judging by studio efforts, they deliver tons of energy and hardcore food for the hardcore hearts while playing live. Some of the songs are very anthemic, like one of my personal favorites ‘Landlords’ and also ‘Artificial Stupidity’, some other favorite being ‘ Too Much Information’ and ‘One Pint, One Piss’. This is a great band with strong and fast debut album so check this one out immediately.
