And then everything went downhill. When you look at the development of the world and what humans make of it, you will hardly come to any other conclusion unless you are completely detached from reality.
The band from Goldberg, between Parchim, Teterow, and Güstrow, is releasing their third album through the label of the band COR.
LARRIKIN is an Australian slang term for a youthful troublemaker. Thus, LARRIKINS are the troublemakers from the 4,000-inhabitant town of Goldberg who mainly travel to the northern regions of this republic. On these travels, they also met Dritte Wahl and the guys from COR, with whom they played shows together.
The band from the Ludwigslust-Parchim district is a new discovery for me, as I had not heard anything from the combo until now.
Musically, there is powerful rock with (street) punk influences, slight metal elements, and a touch of newer school hardcore.
Lyrically, there are intelligent, sometimes abstract lyrics that once again show that one can handle the German language well. Intelligent lyrics that you could also hear from Dritte Wahl. Speaking of Dritte Wahl, especially the current album of the three Rostockers comes to mind whenever I listen to the CD from LARRIKINS. Songs like “Alles auf Anfang” strongly lean towards Rostock.
“Scheiße (was schon immer braun)” makes one think of Broilers.
“Nummer Drei” strongly resembles Toxpack.
Dritte Wahl, Toxpack, Broilers, these are the three landmarks that LARRIKINS have passed by. I like the style of LARRIKINS. It is something unique, nothing copied, and it also has some brains. Additionally, the four guys can handle their instruments well and have found someone in Dirk Burke who can manage the controls effectively. Thus, a very well-produced, powerful, and strong album has emerged, which hopefully will be played in some systems across the republic.
LARRIKINS are a band that deserves to become more well-known, even outside the northern region. And if the voice of singer Felix continues like this, he will have a voice in a few years that will be strikingly similar to Gunnar from Dritte Wahl.
