SCHWINDEL ( (subgenre-prefix-)punk, Berlin)
Schwindel play (subgenre prefix) punk and, according to their own statement, even invented this genre. Minor chords that develop an enormous suction effect, dynamic drumming, hammering
bass hooks and wonderfully orchestrated vocal attacks that repeatedly push us against the wall with fantastic lyrics. Pleasantly pointed, wonderfully melancholic-dissonant and completely unaffected. With releases on Mörtel Sounds and Flight13 Records.
"A band from Berlin that sounds like a band from Hamburg. Rough, unpolished discourse punk
with a dystopian undertone." (Ox)

FUN TOTAL (Punk, Hamburg)
The 2nd album by Hamburg punk band Fun Total is called "Da ist gar nichts". "Da ist gar nichts", no support, no "firewall", no ideal world behind closed curtains,
no security, just the calm before an even bigger storm.
Musically, anger, fear and despair are translated as one would expect from local punk bands socialized with Wipers, Wire and EA80. Hardcore and 90s emo/indie influences can also be heard. But despite all the variety, the album remains stringently offensive. Between some tricky parts, a desperate middle finger smiles at you from time to time
towards you. The band has been around for a few years, but while the first album "Tristesse" was a kind of retrospective of their first longer creative phase, the 10 songs on "Da ist gar nichts" were written and recorded in a relatively short space of time. It feels compact and fun total
are rightly very happy with the result
