Wow, what am I hearing from Concrete Jungle? In recent years, the Nuremberg label has made a name for itself primarily through releases from bands like Rejected Youth, Guerilla, Obtrusive, or Total Chaos. Only with the latest records did they open up to other styles with bands like Turbo A.C.'s, Adolescents, or Modern Pets. From punkers in studded leather jackets and Texas Roses on their heads, who are more aligned with hardcore punk, to rockier acts with a penchant for more melodies and singing instead of screaming. With the Essen newcomers Goodbye Fairground, they have indeed shown a fine touch. This young and rising band plays a mix of punk, rock, and especially indie that is truly enjoyable. Pure energy and joy of playing come out of the speakers so hit-worthy and charming that it warms the heart! It reminds me of bands like Blacklist Royals or Against Me! when things get a bit wilder. At the right moments, the scrappy guitar is also brought out, wonderfully recalling brilliant indie bands like the Thermals. What I always notice positively is the pleasant voice of the singer. Everything is lovely! It fits! The record would have also suited Gunner Records well. But since the band has now landed at Concrete Jungle, it gives the whole thing an independent and likable touch. I am sure we will all hear and see a lot more from this band.
