Absolutely unnecessary is the teacherly, oh how I drink, cocktail section. The comic and photo story also seem strange to me, as I probably lack the right sense of humor. I could also do without the column by Mad Jazz, although it has its good moments. And while I’m at it, the report from the football club of Pig must die could have easily been shortened by two pages, and instead, some bands could have been asked a bit more in-depth.
But the good aspects clearly outweigh the bad here. Political topics are addressed, such as the fight against animal testing. Concert reports and the section on long-forgotten bands round off the whole thing. Oh yes, and of course, there are plenty of record reviews, to what extent Nix-Gut and Taugenix influence each other is another matter. All in all, it’s a colorful mix that brings a lot of reading pleasure and substance. What annoys me at times is an indefinable feeling that someone wants to lecture me, a subtle arrogance in tone, but that’s just a side note. Otherwise, this thing is definitely worth the money, especially for Deutschpunk fans. Oh yes, there’s also a CD included, which hits hard. The cover plays with the common Deutschpunk clichés, and the music is generally acceptable. Many things you already know and have, but there are also some new things to discover. Nonstop Stereo, Ahead to the Sea, !.Mai87, Schlepphoden, and the rest are definitely worth listening to. But who buys a magazine just for the CD? Here, both are definitely worth it.
