DAS FRIVOLE BURGFRÄULEIN.
The four guys from the former federal capital are right. Is Bonn actually a ghost town now that all the officials are burdening Berlin?
DAS FRIVOLE BURGFRÄULEIN has recorded four new songs, named the EP “Vacation Report from the Punk Rock Single Charts,” and starting from May 30, 2014, you can purchase the four songs both as a CD and as a 7" vinyl.
What do the four songs offer?
The first song “Bock auf Punkrock” starts with a beat from the drum machine, then the lyrics kick in. The Bonn band sings about what unites us all, namely punk rock. Then the drum machine takes its leave, and the chorus kicks in with a nice punk vibe. The chorus is musically the highlight of the song. The lyrics are quite amusing, showcasing what punk rock can do, and invite you to sing along.
After the song, you feel like punk rock, and you get that with song number two.
“Urlaub in Misantropen.” A catchy, melodic punk rock with a driving beat. It moves forward well and sticks in your ear. And by the second chorus, you start singing along again. With the chorus - I know exactly why I hate you so much! - paired with the rest of the lyrics, everyone can relate. And it’s a feel-good song. Despite the chorus. Whether it’s the boss, the train, recumbent cyclists, Freiwild, or the whole brown sauce…
“Number 583,413 in the Single Charts” starts with the beautiful lyrics:
You go for a walk, over corpses…
It’s not a text about a horror movie; rather, the lyrics are multifaceted and profound. While it somewhat reminds you of older songs by die Toten Hosen, it has a catchy chorus and depth. The band can do more than just be funny and entertaining. They impressively showcase this with these lyrics.
The last song Schulmädchenreport… uh “Schulmich-Report” is, in my opinion, the weakest song on the record. Maybe it’s the lyrics, or maybe it’s the music that doesn’t quite know if it wants to be pop punk or swing punk.
The four songs, recorded with a new drummer, are poppier German punk, catchy, entertaining, and pleasing.
