In the tranquil Kastl in the Upper Palatinate, quite a lot is happening. The petty bourgeois thinks that everyone in his peaceful provincial nest would conform, but three young punk rockers are decisively standing in the way of the garden fence romanticism and small-town idyll of their hometown. With their album "Now We Are Here", they aim not only to wake everyone from their sleepy village but also to become an open-minded person, while loudly carrying their German punk message against the shitty system, police terror, and murderous states like the USA into the world. It's not just typical themes that the guys pack into their songs, but also everyday experiences that not every cool city punk has gathered. Anyone who grew up in the countryside can, if they live there with open eyes, collect enough impressions and ideas for songs. Not looking away is something the guys have also learned there, to not lose sight of what’s essential despite seemingly unclouded rural idyll, and not to sweep the suffering of others under the rug like most do, just to avoid standing out. "Get your act together" is the message to everyone out there, not to remain silent for "All those years". And while the priest in the Sunday mass in Kastl still preaches about fictional world peace, ANALKOMMANDO is actively resisting with hard-hitting pogo punk in the last alternative shops in Bavaria. But alongside plenty of anger in the lyrics, ANALKOMMANDO has also retained a healthy sense of humor, even if you think "Not another drinking song", every punk record needs a hit for the well-deserved after-work beer. A real highlight is the tribute to Biermösl Blosn "Proud from the Au". Brilliantly done! An authentic punk rock band, musically wild, loud, fast, and pissed off with a mix of fun lyrics and socially critical songs that I can only recommend to every German punk fan.
