UNANTASTBAR? I must admit that I have never heard of this band before. And now I have the download of their new live double CD or triple LP....
So I first do some research on the internet, and what do I find first? Singer Joggl played ten years ago with FREI.WILD singer Philipp Burger in the right-wing rock band KAISERJÄGER. And even in the last ten years, there are many parallels to FREI.WILD. Perhaps that is why UNANTASTBAR has passed me by, because whether it's right-wing rock, gray area, or apolitical, I believe it is a duty to stand against fascism, racism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, etc.!! No matter what nationality one has, this applies to South Tyroleans as well, even if they have a very special precarious past. I cannot accept a "Kühnengruß" from singer Joggl and celebrations with right-leaning and right-wing "friends", even if the members of UNANTASTBAR now claim that all of that was in the past and that they have changed.
I will leave it at that and turn to the music, and I must say that I do not find any direct references to right-wing or right-leaning tendencies in the 28 songs, not even in songs like "Bomben vom Himmel" or "Kämpft mit uns". By the way, the songs are loudly sung along by the audience, whether it is in Magdeburg, Erfurt, Berlin, Munich, Mannheim, etc. These city names are shouted by singer Joggl into the microphone at least every other song..... too often in my opinion, because after a while it gets on my nerves, after all, the entire recording is 100 minutes long.
Speaking of shouting... well, the voice of singer Joggl does not work at all. It is a mystery to me how a band wants to be successful with that or can be successful! Musically, UNANTASTBAR really plays good (punk?) rock, there is nothing to complain about. The songs have melody, the necessary hardness, and really get going, but the singing, no, that does not fit at all. And then the vocals in some songs are also minimally highlighted compared to the instruments, which could sound a bit fuller. The sound is good, but it lacks some width or volume in the recording, especially the second guitar I can hardly hear...
Unfortunately, since I do not have a booklet, I cannot say anything further about the sixth (!) album of the South Tyroleans. I also do not have the DVD, which is a pity, perhaps more information about UNANTASTBAR could have been learned here.

Das waren Zeiten, als Deutschrock noch sowas wie Udo Lindenberg war und nicht ein haufen Skinheads, die mal was anderes als Oi probieren wollen aber von der Mentalität her immer noch Herdentiere bleiben.<br /><br />Das Label ist, soweit ich weiß, das von Frei.wild, oder?
