Songwriter Saku Tammelin comments:
” “Slivers” is straightforward and one of the fastest songs on the album. It’s a story about emotionally and physically abusive person whose victims survived and moved on in their lives.”

(review) Missstand – Bon Apathie

cover

Austrian punks Missstand are in no way strangers to the pages of this zine. After I watched and listened to their fantastic show at now defunct Tepih na paleti festival in Slovenia couple of years ago, I interviewed the guys for this zine. Now, I am happy being able to listen to new record that is out for a week or so. This time there are 13 new songs and boy do they sound great. Missstand play an energy bomb of fast and melodic punk with super lyrics in German and occasional in English that are smart mix of personal and political coupled with dual vocals and great guitar work. I don´t know how to explain this but the music of this band always makes me want to pump my fist in the air and hug the sweaty kid in the pit next to me. This is punk rock par excellence. My favorite songs are: Bonjour Tristesse, Heute Alles and Morgen Nichts.
