HASSLEBEN was founded in 2005 in Balingen, Baden-Württemberg. Until we played together in Munich this May, I didn't know the band. It was about time, as they surprised me with a really great, gritty live gig and fast hardcore punk with German and English lyrics. They are also very nice guys who not only left me some great records from their friends during our vinyl exchange but also their demo record "Anti as fuck". Even the opener "Attacke" has a real earworm quality, and the second song "Unser Weg" proves to be the same, with the drummer pounding away and the guitars shredding like crazy. "Anti as fuck" is a really awesome song to sing along to, and "Brother Outlaw" and "Dickes Fell" also hit hard and are musically top-notch. With very capable guitarists in the band, this is definitely punk rock of the upper league! Great solo in the song "Dickes Fell"! Punk rock that hits you hard in the face, instead of depressing 0815 sound. The 6 songs hit hard, combined with socially critical lyrics against society and for solidarity in the scene. Adding catchy melodies makes you want to pogo even more! The two voices also harmonize very well together, coming across really gritty, especially in the song "24 hours". All I can say is: 6 songs in very good DIY recording quality that make you crave more music from the band HASSLEBEN. I'm curious to see what else awaits us!
