Ausverkauft | DIE VERLIERER + BENZIN + SEXVERBOT

In the organizer's words:

Presented by Mangel, Bretford and O'tool Studio!

"Notausgang" by Die Verlierer offers a cutting musical flight forward. The Berlin band's second album, released on Mangel Records, proves to be the best gift of the year, despite the gloomy times. The five members have created a musical kaleidoscope that takes an introspective look in the mirror and an inventory of life in Berlin today in fourteen tracks that deal with personal themes such as powerlessness, searching, loneliness and excess, as well as gentrification and the creeping shift to the right in society. The title track "Notausgang" addresses the feeling of alienation in one's own country and the threat posed by the extreme right. Despite the serious topics, the band maintains their musical fidelity. They succeed in mixing post-punk and NDW, rawness and melody, timelessness and contemporary energy. One of the band's strengths is the variety of voices, which lends each song a special nuance and enables new discoveries with every listen. The album manages to transcend the emerging depression and take the listener with it. "Notausgang" is not just an observer of doom, but an emotional emergency exit that shakes the listener awake and carries them away.

Die Verlierer's second celebration of sound, their new album Notausgang (emergency exit), is an enrapturing manufactured approach to the nostalgic turns known to few as 70's punk n roll, now released on Mangel Records. With shades of both American and German influence, Die Verlierer are lyrically exploring riotous and somber notions of both public concerns and private endeavors.

The unified sonic realm does its job accordingly, with a thick determined timbre of bass, sharp guitars and rolling drums - Die Verlierer create a sound as clear as a broken glass. Through the course of 14 rich tracks, the band will take you on a journey between the busy cross roads of early- and post punk, mixing fast beats and slow&heavy melodies. (Nova Nachtom Mautner)
