    DeeCRACKS - Attention! Deficit Disorder (Monster Zero #10, 2010)
    DeeCRACKS – Attention! Deficit Disorder (Monster Zero #10, 2010)

    Now it’s time to turn south and that is south of Germany – this time round not Switzerland (that has always had strong punk ties to Hamburg) but to Austria. Austria? That rocky country we do our ski holidays in? And they have punk bands? Actualy i only heard none to very few bands from Austria back in the early 80s but today they have a mighty force called DeeCRACKS (actualy, they started as “The Cretins” but too many other bands had that name so they had to change), 10 years going and still strong. Plenty of singles and this is their prime 12″ Album! And it is fucking great!

    The verdict:

    1977 – actualy 1976, as it is full blast ramonescore!
    published by a cool lable – Monster Zero NL, home of The Manges and The Windowsill – sure cool as fuck dutch punk masters!
    found in a cool shop – Burnout Hamburg, tick!
    catching sound – 1:35 packed with all you need: hammering drums, driving bass and sawing guitar plus snotty singin’ with “shout-out-loud refrain” – as said: RAMONESCORE!
    The lyrics – about the drug that fit’s the soundtrack, perfect! 

    See yerself mate:

    I don’t care about chinese food
    no pizza pie
    no barbecue

    I don’t spend much on delivery
    I hang out at the pharmacy

    Teachers could not handle me
    I was the black sheep of the family
    mom and dad tried to keep me down
    I was a hyperactive little clown

    And now I’m sitting here
    quiet and tired
    ever since they put me on that diet
    Ritalin for lunch
    I want my
    ritalin for lunch

    ritalin for lunch
    ritalin for lunch
    ritalin for lunch
    ritalin for lunch
    ritalin for lunch
    ritalin for lunch
    ritalin for lunch
    ritalin for lunch
    ritalin for lunch
    ritalin for lunch

    i wan’t my
    ritalin for lunch
    i wan’t my
    ritalin for lunch
    i wan’t my
    ritalin for lunch

    They are currently touring Russia and Japan, let’s hope they play Hamburg when they are back on EU tour in November!

    Listen up fuckin’ loud:

    And see them live in 2011 in Austria:

    Another great movie to come – could be about me too! Looking forward for the full movie!

    Random Hand - Change of Plan (Riot Music RIOT008, 2007)
    Random Hand – Change of Plan (Riot Music RIOT008, 2007)

    Holy shite, this is ska-core gallore! I do love my ska, i do love the Mighty Mighty BossTones (and you could call them “genre defying” to an extend) but this came from left-field.

    From Keighley, a town and civil parish within the metropolitan borough of the City of Bradford in West Yorkshire, England comes Random Hand and they are a true contender for throwing an energetic and loud dancing party! Formed in 2002 and with 4 1/2 Albums and a grand live album under the belt they not only tour but also output to the max. Get to see them when you can, it is worth it!

    The verdict:

    1977 – ok, tricky. SKA was part of the initial revolution but the added speed and metalic sounds not – i’d say “1977 2.0”
    published by a cool lable – Riot Music, tick!
    found in a cool shop – Burnout Hamburg, tick!
    catching sound – this is a monster of a sound, has it all incl. cool trombone and sing-a-long chorus! Perfect!
    The lyrics – about themselves and with tongue-in-check plus unique sing-a-long chorus!

    hey you!
who me?
what's your contribution?
we mess around with music fusion
night times the big break
you tell me its not what society needs
we're a band
are you in demand? 
well no not quite but the CDs in our van
would you like to listen?
its just what society needs

gotta see a CV to sell yourself
tell me what you're worth
can i judge you on your ucas points?
or your date or birth?
that's another thing you cant comprehend
gotta like what monkey sees
would you like to know our status?
and the honesty it brings

WELL!

we're scum, scum triumphant
bottom of the pile and screwing him for getting up
take pride in who you are
when they spoke our patience had enough
we're scum
we're scum
we're scum
WE'RE SCUM
and we're screwing him for getting up
we've had enough
YOU KNOW WE'RE SCUM

(repeat without last line)

we're all laughing at jokes again
forget about the time
i've heard that too much tension
does damage to your spine
no its ordinary hassle
can i just get through the day?
its possible to mess around
and have some things to say

SO!

we're scum, scum triumphant
bottom of the pile and screwing him for getting up
take pride in who you are
when they spoke our patience had enough
we're scum
we're scum
we're scum
WE'RE SCUM
and we're screwing him for getting up
we've had enough
YOU KNOW WE'RE SCUM

(repeat repeat repeat and shout out loud: WE'RE SCUM!)

    In 2010 it was re-released by Bomber Records/Our Music with a much better artwork and with the added bonus of the “On the march” EP:

    The recording itself is already a mighty beast – tune up realy loud:
