So what are these DORKS?
This band, four guys and singer Lizal, has been actively touring the republic for several years and five albums, showcasing their interpretation of punk rock. The interpretation has changed with their musical skills. Until the third album “Tyrannoplauzus Fett,” it was still classic German punk, with biting, aggressive, and sometimes sarcastically funny lyrics, but for the last two albums, it has become a unique mixture. A key ingredient is length. The songs are unusually long for punk rock, featuring a consistently loud and well-played guitar, with many tempo and style breaks. Additionally, singer Lizal roars, sings, screams, and screeches the lyrics into the microphone. Her voice may not appeal to everyone, but punk rock doesn't have to please everyone either. However, punk rock might be too narrow a definition here. The band's style encompasses much more. It is a potpourri of punk, metal, ska, power-pop, and hardcore. And the guitar is always loud. Very loud! It bites and fights alongside Lizal. Everything fits together quite well. However, the recording is such that Lizal cannot always assert herself. Thus, one hears a high guitar with a high vocal line. At times, this can be somewhat overwhelming. Here, the guitar could have been turned down a bit. This would not have detracted from the music and would have greatly aided in understanding the lyrics.
The lyrics fit the songs. They are quite long. With few exceptions, they depict a picture of our society. A picture that pleases fewer and fewer people, which does not necessarily lead to more people resisting.
Songs like “Freie Radikale” or “Der Stoff aus dem die Alpträume” fit like a glove. We live in the “System of Shame” (it’s hard to describe Fortress Europe and the newly emerging nationalism better) and are “In the Heart Anti-Social” (slightly elitist and completely right).
One can only say, “Together we will become a wildfire.”
It’s about time. It’s cold outside and in our hearts too.
