Rise against - Built to last

one of my favorite cover songs and probably the best Rise Against song after 2004

Days in Grief - Make noise (the revolution sleeps)

some more nostalgia…

Days in Grief - All inside

melodic hardcore from Cologne/Germany, unfortunately the band broke up at the end of 2007. The farewell show @Underground was almost exactly 5 years ago - and I missed it :(

Listen to Prefaced By The Signal Fires by Circle Takes the Square.

from their new full length “Decompositions: Volume Number 1”

Jupter Jones - Das zu wissen

Hallo Angst, du Arschloch!

Our darkest days (2006)

Love A - Entweder

german indie/punkrock band from Trier!

“Deutschland muss sterben, damit wir lieben können!” – das bringt LOVE A gut auf den Punkt: Rotziger Punkrockmittelfinger trifft auf warmherzigen Indierock. LOVE A schaffen es mitreißend, die Spannung zwischen NDW-Anleihen, Hamburger Schule und drängendem Punkrock zu halten.

Crime in stereo - Small skeletal

from the album …is dead (2007)

"Thoughts Paint The Sky - Nicht mal mehr wir selbst" →

full album stream @bandcamp!

unfortunately I can’t make it to their farewell show next friday in Essen

There’s always a calmer band - mostly indie, or nowadays hipster music - that I discover once per year and can’t stop listening to.

I found the 2012 candidate: The National

History:
2009: Death cab for cutie
2010: Arcade Fire
2011: Radiohead (I knew some songs but never really listened to them - shame on me)

Converge - Aimless arrow

from their new album “all we love we leave behind” coming this fall
