Ibbenbüren, what a small town, right in the middle of nowhere, and because there’s nothing exciting there, the guys make music to impress the girls or trade musical instruments since farming and livestock breeding are no longer worthwhile. A prime example are the DONOTS and WATERDOWN who live right next door. And now THE AFFECTED also want to show the girls something, but not much has really happened in their first 4 years as a band. Only when the second guitarist Fred Hirth joined did things start to move forward, and even though there are only 6 songs on this CD, the progress is clearly noticeable. Refreshing melodic punk rock that strongly reminds me of GREEN DAY from their better days (almost 20 years ago). I will definitely listen to this record more often, it’s just a shame that everything is over after 15 minutes. The booklet could also be improved; for example, I miss the lyrics. But other than that, there’s nothing to complain about, so I’ll hit “Play” on the CD player again…
