The autobiographical voice is a must in our word course. And in this case, it is not a cozy life review, but a stirring journey through the abysses and great moments of a difficult artist's life. Tex Bracht, frontman of the punk band Slime since 2021, tells of his difficult youth, his merciless life as a homeless street musician in Berlin and an almost miraculous reversal of fortune that brought him to the biggest festival stages (Wacken) in his memoirs "Dreck und Glitzer" (Dirt and Glitter), published in 2024. And he doesn't just talk about it - he also sings about hardships and borderline experiences in his unmistakable voice.
