In the artist's words:

Do you love guitar riffs, political lyrics and confetti rain at concerts? Then you probably already know Kraftklub - and if not, it's high time you did! The five guys from Chemnitz are among the most important voices in the German indie rock scene. They are loud, critical, danceable and regularly deliver new music that gets both under your skin and into your legs.

Founded in 2010 in Chemnitz (then still known as "Karl-Marx-Stadt"), Kraftklub mix indie rock with a punk attitude and a good dose of hip-hop. Frontman Felix Brummer (aka Kummer) raps, sings, screams - and always has something to say.

The lyrics are often political, ironic and socially critical, but never preachy. They strike a chord - especially with young people who are caught between capitalism, climate and chaos in today's world.

New Kraftklub album?

After their successful album KARGO in 2022 and countless legendary live shows and open-air appearances, the band has been rather quiet of late. Now, however, the guys are taking to social media and teasing new music. Let's hope that the teased song will be backed up by heavy live shows and a loud album.

Everything by Kraftklub is actually worth listening to, but maybe you already know this one:

• "Songs für Liam " - an indie classic with a sing-along guarantee and a banger at every Hausi
  

• "Ich will nicht nach Berlin " - the ironic anthem for anyone who has had enough of the capital city hype
  
• "Shots in the air" - political, loud, uncomfortable - a song that makes you think
  
• "Chemie Chemie Ya " - a danceable critique of gentrification and big city madness
  

These tracks have brought Kraftklub not only into the charts, but also onto the really big stages.

Are you looking for a concert that is more than just music? Then grab a ticket when Kraftklub perform in your area - whether it's a club show or a festival stage. Their new music shows: The band has by no means had enough and hits the zeitgeist with every record.
