Even though BUMS has grown up by now, their critical social stance and love for punk music remain, and they want to make a strong statement once again. The motivation is high, and with "Artikel 5," there is also a new album that seamlessly connects to the old battle cry times, during which BUMS might also be known to some as the band FLUCHTPUNKT TERROR.
Lyrically, the classic critical themes such as surveillance by the "Verfassungsschutz" or the constant struggle against one's own resignation are punk-rocked. You can trust no one, most of all yourself. The album aims to encourage breaking out of the madhouse of life, is energetic and angry. Danceable hits alternate with catchy, melodic anthems that invite sing-alongs and are musically arranged with extremely cool metal guitars. A combination that really packs a punch.
With "Artikel 5," BUMS has delivered a great German punk record, which also boasts a very professional studio production. There is really nothing to complain about the overall work; the only thing I have to criticize is that there is a CD booklet without song lyrics. After all, the lyrics are the hallmark of a punk rock band. So next time, I want my booklet; otherwise, there will be a proper BUMS on the lazy backside when we meet again. Otherwise, you guys did a great job ;-)
