Exactly 20 years after the release of their milestone album "UUAARRGH!" (the one with the Fert on the cover), WIZO makes a spectacular return with "Punk gibt's nicht umsonst! (Teil III)" (again with a Fert on the cover).
19 new songs with over an hour of total playtime are now available for download in the Hulk-MP3-Shop (http://wizo.punk.de), and on all relevant music platforms.
The CD has been available in stores since July 18, 2014, or at Hulk Räckorz.
As a double LP in colored vinyl, the album will be available from August 15, 2014, at Hulk Räckorz!
"At the end of the day, the only damn task of a band is to make music and nothing else for now. We hope you enjoy our new songs!" This is the brief but unmistakable message from WIZO mastermind Axel Kurth.
The band consciously opts out of advance releases, chart promotion, or attempts to create questionable media hype with dusty marketing tools. Instead, the three punk rockers fully rely on their 19 new songs.
"Punk gibt's nicht umsonst! (Teil III)" is a breathtaking musical and lyrical rollercoaster that sweeps listeners on an emotional, varied trip through angry, cynical nihilism, rough romantic tragicomedies, tempestuous outbursts of rage, and strictly vegan self-mutilation. Always seasoned with bittersweet earworm melodies, rugged compositions, and razor-sharp arrangements in a uncompromising production. All elements that have etched the creative eruptions of one of the musically most skilled punk rock bands of the golden 90s generation deep into the hearts of countless fans around the world for decades.
"Punk gibt's nicht umsonst! (Teil III)" is a genuine WIZO album, not only for the ears of the fans but especially for their hearts, their bellies, and their outstretched fists.
With this album, WIZO has impressively fulfilled their "only damn task" once again and beyond all measures.
In line with the release, there will of course be the autumn tour: WIZO - Tour gibt's nicht umsonst! (2014)
Following the spectacular guerrilla release of their new punk rock milestone album "Punk gibt's nicht umsonst! (Teil III)", the first follow-up from the Swabian punk rock legend is now here.
The first confirmed dates for the autumn tour 2014 are available, with more to follow later. The tour will take WIZO across over 30 concerts through Germany, Austria, South Tyrol, and Switzerland starting October 23, 2014.
From small clubs to sports halls and even an open-air event in December, WIZO will take their much-cited "only damn task" seriously and blast their hits at the audience, shower them with love, curse them wildly, or do whatever else is necessary to stir their hearts, bellies, and outstretched fists.
In his typical, unmistakable manner, WIZO mastermind Axel Kurth has the following call:
"Come to our concerts! We will play your and our favorite songs, the old ones and the really old ones, but of course also a few of the new ones. We will give it our all and we will be thrilled if you enjoy it. It will get tight and hot, dark and loud. And with good chances of bruises and ringing ears and lost shoes and sweaty clothes. And everyone will sing at the top of their lungs and there will be a lot of laughter. And depending on the physical condition, there will be moshing and hugging with strangers, drinks will be consumed and maybe even thrown up again. But for a few hours, all the everyday crap can go to hell, and no one can take away the great time we have together. And the next morning might be tough and hard, but who cares, when we think back to that evening, we will have that unmistakable, silly grin under our deep eye bags. And that’s how we will recognize each other everywhere, and then we will have to grin even more. And we are looking forward to that!"
