On the CD, contrary to Michael Knight's announcement, there is no heavy metal and no macho rock'n'roll offered, but rather first-class intelligent and straightforward 77 punk rock. Sometimes with English lyrics, sometimes with German. Lyrically, it mostly revolves around the adversities of everyday life, but political themes are also not excluded. And the rock'n'roll influences cannot be denied either. By the way, please do not confuse this band with the 'BECKS STREET BOIZ', 'BECKS BIER BOYS', or 'BACKSTREET NOISE'.
The CD, which was released on Matula Records and Volxdroge Records, is overall very entertaining, but only 3 songs stand out remarkably and are real hits that I must immediately add to my personal favorite songs list. You should do that too: 'Schneeregen', 'Königsmischung', and 'Zwangsjacke'. Oops, I just realized that these are exactly the German-language songs on the album that I particularly like. Maybe I am just a stubborn German punk fan? Well, whatever, behind it all is certainly great songwriting and the rest of the album isn't bad either.
One might also want to highlight the song '500 days', which is a bit calmer, but I do enjoy when a male voice meets a female voice in songs. I definitely recommend this album! MP3s are available on the homepage of this band.
