But Berlin is also a city with its own laws, rules, and trends.
There certainly won't be hipsters in the countryside. At least not like those in Berlin, as they can only survive in the big city. And even there, the common hipster has enemies.
Why am I writing about hipsters here? Because those were my first thoughts while listening to the debut of VAL SINESTRA.
VAL SINESTRA was founded in 2011. The band members have played in other bands, including Chrü, who has played with the Berlin ska punk band Delikat and has been seen on the stages of the city for years.
The band took three years to release their debut.
The six songs that are only available on vinyl or as a download clearly indicate what the band does and where they stand. This band has truly found its way.
The path consists of a healthy portion of hard rock seasoned with indie sound, solid guitar and bass playing, and vocals that find their home somewhere between screamo, emo, and indie.
In summary, the sound is hard rock-heavy indie hipster sound. Perhaps there’s also a hint of punk attitude, but that can only be sensed. If the band members were in their early twenties, I would say the guys need to deal with their world pain. Music is certainly better than therapy.
However, they are not.
Thus, VAL SINESTRA is a band that plays a sound that is currently very trendy. The German lyrics fit well with that. There may certainly be social groups that will embrace this band.
I will not be one of them.
I do not belong to that group.
