"I raise my glass to wonderful years!" And 13 wonderful bald shanties from the Waterkant: HH's beloved sons ROTZ & WASSER let their now third album glide swingingly from the roadstead into the world's oceans.
North German working class sound with hearty local color, magnificent "24/7" rock'n'roll" in the Hanseatic ROTZ & WASSER tradition. Musically, you stay unerringly in familiar waters, sail around every lull and stay on course towards Oi! and Way of Life ("I'm fine because I'm a skinhead!").
Rich MOTÖRHEAD riffs ("24/7 Rock'n'Roll", "La familia", etc.) meet smoothly with relaxed ska parts ("Money Greetings"), the entire street rock palette is served in a versatile and stylish manner.
Lyrically, you oscillate between skinhead party, soulful romantic odes to Oldeslo fires (including the iconic Heinz Ehrhardt intro: "Always when I'm sad..."), gentle femininity ("Bend down Fee"), ironic "gray area" - Reflection (quite appropriately with a fine ONKELZ touch) and tough statements against politics, banks and cops. A balanced mixture of topics relevant to everyday life, without smart-ass or pointing fingers.
Conclusion: Classic skinhead rock'n'roll with a down-to-earth 80's connection, brand new for 2011. Havin' a laugh and havin' a say! At that time like today. Ideally suited and highly tolerated for friends of 4 PROMILLE, VOLXSTURM or SCHUSTERJUNGS.

Hamburg's favorite Sons are back with their third full length, titled "24/7 Rock'n'roll". Plain and simple. The albums contains 13 rumblin' Skinhead anthems with the beloved topics (Booze, Obscenities, Way of life, nasty Cops, Politicians etc.), topped with some great MOTÖRHEAD guitar riffs, some skankin' parts and a lot of Bootboy fun! Goldies for baldies! Recommended for every lover of classic 80's German Skinhead sound! ROTZ & WASSER bring the 80's straight to 2011, like their buddies 4 PROMILLE, VOLXSTURM or SCHUSTERJUNGS. Well produced punchy stuff!
