RamTatTa - DER DUMME AUGUST – der dumme august => LP (12") mit Downloadcode

And now I have had DER DUMME AUGUST with their self-titled debut album in front of me for a few days, who are known like a colorful dog despite this first work! The musical experience of the 4 musicians from Cologne is immediately evident in the fresh power-pop-punk music, which, although not newly invented, is still so catchy that the 10 songs settle directly into the ear canals. However, this is no wonder, as behind DER DUMME AUGUST are none other than musicians like Achim from KNOCHENFABRIK and SUPERNICHTS, Berten from SUPERFREUNDE, Dani from ANGELIKA EXPRESS, and Emre from KOMMANDO PETERMANN. No wonder that the DER DUMME AUGUST sound also resembles these bands. With one exception, in the second song "Am Tresen meines Herzens," some riffs were indeed borrowed from the FOO FIGHTERS, uh, borrowed....
However, this does not make the record, yes record, vinyl, this big black disc (12") any worse. The more I listen to these 28 minutes, the deeper the songs penetrate the meatus acusticus internus. How good that all the songs are in German. :-) That's a good thing, because the lyrics of "Deine beste Freundin" are quite something ;-)
Speaking of girlfriends, almost all songs are about the girls, from "Nicole" to "Tina" to "Doreen" (the melody sounds familiar...), or "Am Tresen meines Herzens," "Deine beste Freundin," and "Die schönsten Mädchen." So about love, kissing, flirting, breakups, etc. This strongly reminds me of "Debil" by the ÄRZTEN or the years around what is probably the best album by the ÄRZTE. Back then, 32 years ago, when Farin and Bela were in their early 20s and every second song referred to the girls. Therefore, the reference in the press info sheet to the DIE ÄRZTE is not so wrong, just that ABDE (Achim, Berten, Dani, and Emre) are no longer in their early 20s ;-)
Like 32 years ago, I received this album on polyvinyl chloride, this time even "hand-numbered" (!!!) and with a download code! That gives 2 bonus points, although I have to deduct one because there are no lyrics included :-(
Still, buy and enjoy (and be quick, there are only 300 copies of the record!!!!)
