For some time now, the state executive has been investigating suspicious gang musicality within its own ranks. According to investigation results, a band was formed in December 2019 in Leipzig Connewitz, bringing guitar-heavy music to the population. With a fast beat, electronic accompaniment, and multi-voiced singing, the perpetrators have already overwhelmed their audience at live concerts, creating a powerful listening experience.
The separation of powers into the areas of Legislative, Executive, and Judiciary is outdated. Because there is only good and bad violence left. Right-wing violence is good. Left-wing violence is bad. At least that's what SOKO LiNX claims in their current single "Gewaltenteilung". Furthermore, right-wing violence must be better because it is more successful. In 2024, there were 5,857 left-wing and 37,835 right-wing crimes. Nevertheless, the horseshoe continues to turn, but at least to the music of SOKO LiNX.

The masked Teletubbies of electro-punk with Aldi bags and occasional rap excursions are back! What? Again?! As if two albums weren't enough already. But so be it. After "AUF DIE FRESZE. FERTIG. LOS!" (2022) and "BLOSZ KEINEN STRESZ" (2024), the third long player "PUNK FÜR LEUTE, DIE PUNK HASZEN" will follow in 2026.
On "PUNK FÜR LEUTE, DIE PUNK HASZEN", once again, everything that seemingly doesn't belong together is thrown together. In the end, somehow everything fits again. The musical structure stands once more solidly on the four genre pillars PUNK, ELECTRONIC MUSIC, POP, and RAP. Ironic exaggerations and political themes, alongside everyday stories, once again form the lyrical corset that holds the album together content-wise. Furthermore, SOKO LiNX for the first time becomes self-referential and poses the question of whether their own music is still punk or already mainstream? Probably neither.
This album was created in a time of massive change and upheaval. In 2024, a close friend and important companion of the band passed away unexpectedly. Drummer and founding member NiXS KOOL left the band after a period of uncertainty. The recordings did not take place as before within two weeks in Leipzig, but in different sessions spread over two years in two Berlin studios. ACEY AVALON supported the guitar and drum recordings. He even played the drums himself due to the lack of a drummer. For these reasons, "PUNK FÜR LEUTE, DIE PUNK HASZEN" means both an ending and a new beginning. An ending, also because this album will complete a trilogy. A new beginning, also because with the new drummer ONLi KOXS, fresh influences and impulses will enrich SOKO LiNX.
But SOKO LiNX still holds on to the tried and tested. Because SASCHA HÖHM has once again been responsible for the typical sound of SOKO LiNX for the third time in a row as producer. Also, highly regarded musicians were invited to the studio again to refine the sokolinxian back catalog. Only two accepted the invitations, but they are significant. On one hand, Axel Kurth from WIZO complements the already timeless classic "ZEITMANAGEMENT" with his unmistakable voice. On the other hand, Fati Morgana from THE DEAD END KIDS enriches the song "KEIN KOMPLIMENT" and gives both the song and her own voice a new facet. Conclusion: worth listening to!
The album "PUNK FÜR LEUTE, DIE PUNK HASZEN" will be released on 07.08.2026 on Fettfleck Records (Cargo) as LP and digital and contains 15 new songs that can be danced and sung along to between lethargy and megalomania. As always, AI-free, even though AI is now making art.
