BLINKER LINKS come from Cologne and are a side project of CHEFDENKER and the successor band of AUSGANG OST. The musical resemblance is unmistakable; the album "We're Not a Reggae Band" comes in the typical CHEFDENKER/KNOCHENFABRIK style. The debut album "Der liebe Gott sieht alles" was released in 2007, from which the song "Pimmel raus, Mofa fahren" particularly stuck in my memory. I was even more excited when I received the latest punk rock effort from the band sent by Chrissi Subwix (whose label SUBWIX from Stuttgart produced the record together with Nebula 5). So I threw the record into the player, and after the first song wasn't really my thing, I quickly moved on to the second. And now it really kicks off: "Anhalten! Abwürgen! Abfeiern" hits hard right in the face and is also the motto of the album, which is only 26 minutes long. Musically, the record offers very brilliant, catchy riffs and solos; no one can outshine the guitarists here. Additionally, there are amusing lyrics that take just about everything lightly. In "Ich steige in kein öffentliches Verkehrsmittel", Deutsche Bahn gets a piece of the action, while "Metallica waren mal geil" provokes commercially successful rock bands. Quote: //For all of that, I find you guilty, but you're not such a jerk as Lars Ulrich!// When you play guitar as well as on this record, it's of course double the provocation hehehe!!! That they not only have the lyrical but also the musical chops is impressively proven with the song "Riffoschinski-Wir rocken uns hier einen ab und ihr geht einfach Bier holen". There's also a nice description for wannabe guitarists in the booklet;-) Brilliant solo in "Immer diese brennenden Herzchen". Simply fantastic! Here are a few more song recommendations that pique curiosity just by their titles: The song "Indie-Underground-Stadionrock" lives up to its name and lets the guitar shine once again. Songs like "Sprit kostet immer genau richtig" or "Tanz mir ein A", which poke fun at all the esoteric folks, capture the spirit of the times in an ironic way. So to the potential voters of the Violets: Better not call Astro TV, but with the remaining money you have left for the month, buy the new record from BLINKER LINKS; maybe that will free your chakra again ;-)
