I met Martin from PRO KONTRA this year at the Resist to Exist Festival, where he enthusiastically told me about his punk rock band and the upcoming album. And I must say, he didn't oversell the new CD to me; with "Spiel des Lebens," the Dresden boys, who have been around since 2007, are releasing their more than successful debut album. Solid German punk with Oi and street punk influences is offered to the listener here!

The opener is okay, although I have to say it could have been skipped. Too many bands have already done the introduction thing on a record, and it's nothing new. But please keep listening, because what follows are consistently successful songs paired with socially critical lyrics! Musically, there's definitely room for improvement, but the songs are catchy, and for a first release, it's a great production! PRO KONTRA stands out to me mainly because of their good lyrics:

Look around, your life is a "mad house" where everyone wants to stuff you with their madness. But because you don't want to play this "game of life," you are hunted. You think: "This can't be true." But even friendship can become void in an instant. "Submit" to them all, but PRO KONTRA "dances" on, because "What kind of life" would it be without punk rock and saying what you think. "Break the silence! "Speak". Even if we partied at the bar yesterday, we won't forget to look at what's going wrong in this system today. "No Pasaran"! We'll see each other again tomorrow at the bar with PRO KONTRA and your "dream girl" to escape the high "performance pressure". Sooner or later, it will be: "The earth strikes back"! PRO KONTRA too, because they certainly don't want to be "killjoys" and create authentic punk rock, where the balance of social criticism and fun is achieved superbly! I'm sure we'll hear more from the sympathetic guys from Dresden in the future!
