Relaxed beer, end of the workday, and a comfortably spinning 7" on the turntable. What more could you want? Damn, the calm is quickly over with The Rätz when the opener "Looking for a fight" blasts through the speakers. The bass line brings a smile to your face. The vocals are as pissed off as can be, barking out the consistently engaging, scene- and socially critical lyrics. In my opinion, the A-side is the clear winner of the single with three punchy, short, yet melodic songs. The vocals remind me at times of a more melodic version of MDC. This makes it clear where the journey is headed. 80s hardcore that convinces. On the B-side, the tempo is initially slowed down a bit, with the bass dominating the songs in a pleasant way, yet the energy never fades. The second song then goes straight back to the 80s. Overall, this is for anyone who likes hardcore in its original form (and not from N.Y.). Released as a 7" with all lyrics in a fold-out cover as a co-production of Kink-Records and That Lux Good Records. The band can be reached via Myspace.
