The virus called punk rock!
It can be numbed. It can be distracted, but it’s always there, and when it sees its chance, it breaks out.
Something similar happened with WEEKLY CAROUSE. Mark Gilman from Derita Sisters helped a bit, facilitating the outbreak of the virus.
Now they are back, after nine years!
If you didn’t know that the band members are over 35, you would easily guess they are under 30. The 14 songs sound fresh and casually played off the cuff.
English songs alternate with German lyrics. The sound is melodic hardcore punk rock. Somewhere between Rise Against, NoFx, a bit of Terrorgruppe, the Berlin Xarecrows (does anyone still remember them?), and the 5 Bugs.
No wonder the album is called “Back to Calivoerdia.” The Californian punk rock has captivated the guys. That’s how they were socialized, like many others in their generation.
WEEKLY CAROUSE manage to create their own style that shows no signs of wear and tear.
Despite the good mood that the band radiates with their songs, they neither walk around with rose-colored glasses nor have they turned off their brains.
WEEKLY CAROUSE reflect the world, society, and life. Thus, the songs “Einsamkeit” and “Meine Alten” may have emerged from personal experiences, but definitely through life experience and time.
And also “Wohlstandspunk” is something that hardly any band would write at 20 years old, but rather at an age where one has somewhat higher expectations. Yes, I know that too. Sleeping on the floor of the AJZ, stumbling through the city hungover, and drinking cheap beer used to be fine, and it could still be done today, but somehow you don’t really want to do that anymore. And yet, you are punk. Punk is also about the mind, even if it likes to lie on a soft bed.
Politically, the band presents itself with “1516” and “Occupy the World.”
WEEKLY CAROUSE have packed everything that makes a good album into “Back to Calivoerdia.” No one thought the band would release another record, but no one really expected such a hit. Hats off and thumbs up!
