Seen live at Tommyhaus what feels like an eternity ago, then the news of the warning from Frei Wild GbR, and now the debut album in my hands. The six musicians of Frei Schnauze from Berlin released their debut album Hunger in July on sn-punx. They offer 14 tracks featuring a mix of hardcore and punk with a few ska elements. Lyrically, Frei Schnauze addresses the common "hot topics" and you can "guess" where they stand politically. The booklet contains all the lyrics, which is not a bad thing as it allows more time to study them and possibly shout them hoarse during late-night live performances. In between, there are well-timed film quotes, for example, in 'Nackt' you can hear Rorschach from 'Watchmen', in 'Schlachtruf der Idioten' there's a quote from 'Lord of War', and in 'Falsche Werte' a really cool film quote from Edward Norton in '25 Hours'. Even though the mix of punk/hardcore and the dual vocals doesn't completely appeal to me, I still give it 6 out of 10 possible points, one for Thommäs, Falk, Borch, Alex, Butthead, and one for Oigen.
