Police Shit

The band from Frohburg is really no stranger anymore. The band was founded in the mid-90s, specifically in 1994, and has since significantly shaped the East German DtschPunk and Oi! scene.

Anyone who remembers albums like "Diagnose Punkrock" or "Stützen der Gesellschaft" knows exactly what to expect here. Now they finally follow up with "Nonsense of Life," and the wait has definitely been worth it. Musically, the thing hits differently right out of the speakers. Since Anti from the Starts and Faun from Faunamok took over the guitars, the whole sound is much more brutal, thicker, and powerful than on the old stuff. Nevertheless, the typical Police Shit sound remains fully intact, which is mainly due to Pierre's unmistakable, snotty voice.

The concept of the album has turned out to be a really cool and varied number this time. On the A-side, the band hits us with three brand new tracks, has re-recorded their old cult hit "Doch was soll's," and gives the classic "Heilung" (by Die Jungs) a fresh coat of paint. The B-side has been completely utilized by the band as a sampler. Here, friendly bands take turns, some of which the Police Shit crew has had a hand in or still does. Included are tracks from Bonobois, TZM, Nüscht!, Starts, Faunamok, and Kathrin Dor as well as Punk im Gemüseladen.

Maik has put the record together with Laketown Records and has packaged a really nice deal for vinyl lovers: The piece comes on thick 180g vinyl, includes a stylish A3 insert with lyrics and photos, and there's a download code as well. The whole thing is limited to a slim 300 copies – of which 100 are in classic black and 200 in stylish red vinyl with yellow splashes. If you're up for an honest piece of Saxon punk history, you can order the album directly from the online shop of Elb-Power-Records.
