The Mosel punks from HAGBARD CELINE and D.V. A. (THE DECAYING LEGACY) from Stuttgart have joined forces and released an LP together to bring the good old German punk back to the "scene." This is the first new release for the Mosel punks from HAGBARD CELINE in 2 years, while D.V.A. just released their second album "Do you smell the Deutschpunk?" in April and already have 6 new punk rock hits in tow. Now that's what I call pace! The record kicks off with 4 songs from HAGBARD CELINE. The vocals sound quite quirky and unusual in a certain way, but fit the overall sound of the band very well. They offer beautiful, melodic German punk with thoughtful and ironic lyrics. "Ein Wimpernschlag" deals with the destructive power of the plague called humanity, while the song "Hunger" addresses the capitalist mindset of the rulers, who ultimately not only kill people but drive them to their deaths. "Wann platzt Dirk Bach" ruthlessly critiques the monotony that TV, PC, radio, and the like provide us day after day. "Einbauschrank" tells of a life missed amidst years of uniformity. Really good German punk, but D.V.A. immediately delivers my personal hit with their first song on the record: "Renitente Rentner" is the title of this song, which warns us of an underestimated lurking danger in our country. Excerpt: "Renitente Rentner – make my life difficult – Renitente Rentner – have no decency anymore – aggressively and militantly they rant through this country." I won't reveal more here, just buy the record! The song "Randgruppenkompatibel" comes quickly and is pogo-friendly, and surely some will find their personal fringe group in it. In "Satanic Hippie Kindergarten," you receive an urgent warning against flower hat wearers and Led Zeppelin listeners. The casting show for "Germany's next Vollidiot" then calls out all horizontally limited individuals who have always wanted to stand in the spotlight. Finally, D.V.A. presents two parodies of Pascow songs: "Tramper ermorden" and my second favorite song of the album, "Ich, meine Viagra und der verdammte Gott," are impressive, on a musically and lyrically more than successful split album of the two committed German punk bands, which also distance themselves from right-wing open organizers and bands in the info about the split. You can get this good piece from the label SN-Rex in Stuttgart!
