FLOWERS IN CONCRETE – s/t

Description

“„What does this industry live on if not passion?“

Passion they have the three middle-aged gentlemen who, after a 15-year band break, strapped on their instruments again in 2018 to bring their melodic version of hardcore punk back to the stages of the Alpine Republic.

After the split 7“ with „Hella Comet“ (2018) and the spit LP with the Viennese of „Dim Prospects“ in 2020, here come two new, usual political tracks from „Flowers in Concrete“ – again pressed on vinyl (and all digital platforms). Chorus vocals, melodic voice and scream vocals alternate just as groovy parts with genre-standard thrashing.

„Alte Freundschaft wird zu Schmerz. Getrennte Wege anstatt Nähe.“ says the chorus of „Propaganda“. A sentence that probably applies to most of us in recent years. A situation that almost all of us have experienced. So – as always with „Flowers in Concrete“ – they work through current affairs, social criticism, but also personal issues. What is seen is packed into catchy slogans. Sing-along factor guaranteed.”
