EP by SMOKIN\u00b4 TATERS<\/a><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a nutshell though the guitar sounded too much the same (a problem that slightly less dominant was true for Smallspeaker later too) and that somewhat made it a wee bit less enjoyable. They also had one instrumental and there the guitar excelled and carried the sound, so maybe it was just me again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Smallspeaker, all the way from Tokyo, needed a bit of encouragement by Gregor to get going (and onto the stage) and made an almost shy impression. But boy, once the Guitar started blaring and Bass &amp; Drums provided the push, it turned much more offensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Smallspeaker actually tie back to the Registrators, a Japanese band that i actually have 4 records of in my collection (and that is the highest scoring count from that country). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I never did dig into \u65e5\u672c deep but know from friends, who even traveled there, that it is home to a small and active scene, with clubs &amp; shows being even more &#8220;small&#8221; then the cellar of the Komet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> \n<!-- Start container 2 --><div id=\"wppa-modal-container-2\" class=\"wppa-modal-container\" style=\"position:relative;z-index:100000;\"

This approach catapults Smallspeaker to the forefathers and thus the beginnings of every relevant youth culture that rebelled and questioned the system in its entirety. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>And that\u2019s exactly how their music sounds. Raw, snotty, pissed off, it creaks and groans, practically screaming at you: Fuck off if you can\u2019t handle this! <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Smallspeaker are to today\u2019s punk what the Monks were to the beat of the 60s. They are both a disruptive force and a catalyst. Their temple is the garage, which they immediately demolish again in the spirit of the old \u201cKilled by Death\u201d tradition. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>If someone were to ask me what\u2019s left of 50 years of punk, I would answer: Smallspeaker, the rest is a museum.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On that account i agree, Smallspeaker live was just not museum. It was very real.
