Siamo Tutti Antifascisti Vol. 5

At SIAMO TUTTI ANTIFASCISTI vol. 5 we have something very special for you: MISSSTAND have the new album in their luggage, Stage Bottles are joining us for a few dates, Endlich schlechte Musik are probably also motivated.

MISSSTAND - somewhere between a spirit of optimism and a swan song to a world that has gone off the rails. Over 360 concerts in 9 countries, from small left-wing DIY venues to large festival stages, have made MISSSTAND from Graz an integral part of the German-speaking punk scene. They have shared the stage with Dritte Wahl, ZSK, Terrorgruppe and Alarmsignal, among others, and have been guests at festivals such as Back To Future, Punkrock Holiday, Rock am Berg and Donauinselfest. Following the DIY releases of their first two albums and the third longplayer "I Can't Relax In Hinterland", released in 2017 on Aggressive Punk Productions, the band took the next logical step in their development in 2021 with "Bon Apathie". band. Biting social criticism, melodic riffs and a sound that allows itself no compromises. Songs full of melancholy, dystopian disgust for the world and the unbending hope that change is possible. MISSSTAND deliver anthems for a messed-up generation searching for its place between resignation and rebellion. Over the years, the band has left its mark: Mention in a song by the Antilopen Gang ("Ruhrpott Rodeo") as well as in the documentary series "Millennial Punk" (SWR), alongside bands such as Die Toten Hosen, Donots and Wizo. Somehow pretty okay for a DIY band from Austria.

STAGE BOTTLES - 30 Years Always Antifascist !
Stage Bottles were founded in 1993. The initial line-up was recruited from a close circle of friends in the anti-fascist skinhead scene. At that time, a fierce public battle was raging between the skinhead scene, which described itself as "original", and the Nazi skinhead scene in order to save or revive the original, non-neo-Nazi skinhead movement. The Stage Bottles were happy to serve this purpose. Initially, they actively supported and participated in SHARP (Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice), followed by more political events organized by the skinhead group RASH (Red And Anarchist Skinheads), which was founded at the end of the 1990s.
Despite various line-up changes, the use of the saxophone characterizes the melodic, aggressive punk rock, which is strongly oriented towards the style and musical flexibility of classic English street punk in all its facets.
Lyrically, the focus is clearly on calling for active anti-fascism and a socially critical and anti-capitalist stance. A pronounced affinity to soccer and subcultural themes is expressed in a way that is often unconventional for punk rock and very open. The Stage Bottles have already played many hundreds of concerts - not only in Germany, but also in many other European countries as well as Canada, Belarus, Mexico and Russia. Many of these events and concerts clearly position themselves against homophobia, racism, nationalism, sexism, fascism, capitalism, etc., i.e. against the things that the Stage Bottles address in their lyrics.

BAD MUSIC AT LAST
The Nuremberg triangle quartet is characterized first and foremost by a conspicuously unattractive line-up and miserable band descriptions. Musically, the band plays a mixture of German-language punk rock and rosettecore, since everyone is doing something with "core" these days.
