Violent Instinct "Things were going pretty well up to this point" CD

A very fresh breeze is blowing inland from the Alster... VIOLENT INSTINCT have dropped their first anchor, the Hamburg band has delivered their debut with “Up to here, things were going quite well”. Stubborn and stubborn. Singer Aga comes up with a striking power tube. Reminds me of Cecilia from BABOON SHOW. Loud, clear and precise. Fits well with the texts, there are clear statements here, no larifari. Angry, angry, uncompromising. “Not a meter, not a step..”, no false suppleness but VIOLENT INSTINCT. That makes the difference. “Against your normality”. 12 songs. Not a classic street punk or Oi!, more of a street punk version of classic 80s HH punk rock, VIOLENT INSTINCT build a bridge to Hamburg greats like TORPEDO MOSCOW and C3i, bringing a 2000s update. Clearly noticeable in “Fear”: “It is fear that keeps the wheel turning...But fear is just an illusion, don't let yourself be controlled anymore...Wake up, you are alive!” Combative, defiant. “It’s up to you whether you suffocate in the dirt or fight…”. But also thoughtful (“Sleepless”) and fun-loving: “The beer should flow by the gallon…” (“Violent Instinct”), attitude and enjoyment are balanced. Just punk rock. With this overdose of VIOLENT INSTINCT.

English:

Strong debut cracker by Hamburg's own VIOLENT INSTINCT. Rebellious, angry and thoughtful. With strong female vox: Singer Aga reminds slightly of Cecilia of BABOON SHOW. Loud, clear and precise. Fits well to the lyrics, they have a harsh message. Absolutely uncompromising. Fearless. Young at age and young at heart, that makes the difference. 12 kickin' songs, the ragin' soundtrack of a youth rebellion. No classic street punk or Oi! here, rather a streetpunk version of the classic 80's HH punk rock (TORPEDO MOSCOW, C3i), give 'em a 2000 update. Mostly sung in German (only one song in English), but you'll get the message. Be Violent. Hear Violent. Like Violent. VIOLENT INSTINCT.
