With SystemO's album "Through the Wall (That's Partypunk)" I immediately fell in love with the cover. The booklet is also very beautifully illustrated – someone put in a lot of effort!
Musically, the individual songs are very poppy... typical pop punk in the vein of Montreal or Terrorgruppe.
Thematically, they deal with everyday issues: annoying neighbors, love, parties, violent video games, 90s kids, and too much alcohol. In the end, there’s also a very thought-provoking song. In "Lassessein," it’s about how one should better not start a fight while drunk, as it can easily destroy a life. I think that’s a good message.
The songs are generally very diverse and create a good mood. It’s no coincidence they called it Partypunk. You can also find some guest musicians in the songs. There are the ska-punk brass players from Minnie the Moocher, and the pop-punkers Ruthy and Daniel from Abbruch.
