Some news from Angstbreaker

Did we post the video of Angstbreaker Europe Tour 2013? Something happened inbetween, there are lot of changes in the band. Beginning 2015 one of the singers left the band, some months later both guitar players followed his path. No bad blood but not enough fire for the band anymore.

Short after the breakdown they have found a new guitar player and continue it as a 4 pieces hardcore band. A new demo is going to be recorded in April 2016, as well as the old songs -- planned for a full length in 2015 -- will be finished in the studio.

Mit geballter Kraft tritt das Sextett ANGSTBREAKER eine Soundlawine los, die mal direkt und unverhofft auf dich niederprasselt, dann aber auch Passagen beschreitet, auf denen auch mal nach links und rechts geschaut werden kann, ohne sich zu verirren.

from the "Time To Live w/ Angstbreaker" split CD review in the Underdog Fanzine, written bei Fred.

Like always, you can read it in funny english or in original german:

"Mit geballter Kraft tritt das Sextett ANGSTBREAKER eine Soundlawine los, die mal direkt und unverhofft auf dich niederprasselt, dann aber auch Passagen beschreitet, auf denen auch mal nach links und rechts geschaut werden kann, ohne sich zu verirren. Keep up the spirit! ANGSTBREAKER verbeißen sich im Akkord, kontrollieren bei hohem Tempo das Geschehen und glauben an ein Leben mit Visionen, Träumen, für die es sich zu leben lohnt, trotz rauer Wirklichkeit, Angst und Gewalt sind diese geprägt von Wertschätzung und das Miteinander. Mensch muss nur hungrig bleiben!

Auch bei TIME TO LIVE dreht sich das Karussell des Lebens. Wachsam geht die Band aus Kiew durchs Leben, with eyes wide open, sind weniger wütend und brachial, haben aber das gefährliche Leuchten in den Augen, das Mut und Entschlossenheit verrät, die Bombe platzen zu lassen. Heute ist ein guter Tag, die Welt zu ändern."

Time To Live w/ Angstbreaker - Europe Tour 2013

Additionally both bands organized a tour together but Time To Live had to cancel it because their drummer broke his arm and needs 3 months to recover. Angstbreaker is touring South/Eastern Europe from September 13 to 28.

Die Songs entwickeln eine unglaublich hohe Energie, haben eine Dynamik, die sich verselbständigt und Kräfte freisetzt

from the Angstbreaker "Demo (2013)" review in the Underdog Fanzine, written bei Fred.

Like always, you can read it in funny english or in original german:

“We are a Hardcore band from Leipzig, breaking the angst since tomorrow!” Stay angry, shout louder! Das ominöse HC-Ensemble aus Leipzig geizt mit Informationen über sich, überrascht dafür mit einem straight-derben Beat, der eine/m schon Angst und Bange werden lässt und die Gefahr besteht, neurotische Angstzustände zu verstärken. Zwischendurch floriert der Kumpelfaktor, wenn bei “Don’t come around” würdevoll der Refrain wie eine Einladung zum “sich verpissen” ausgerufen wird. Und sonst? 6 Leute aus der Krachmacherstraße organisieren sich und fordern einen respektvollen, gewaltfreien Umgang beim Tanzen, unabhängig von Geschlecht und Rolle. Also rein in die Tanzschuhe und rauf auf die dancefloor und ab geht die Luzie. Wer bei dem druckvollen Tempo und in der Doppelfunktion aus Destroy Boy und Riot Grrrl nicht total ausflippt, mag sich an einem ruhigen Rückzugsort darüber Gedanken machen, warum “you follow an image of life but you don’t understand it.” Ergo: Image ablegen, mit dem Posen aufhören und einfach mal anfangen, zu leben und den aufgebauten Selbstschutz öffnen, damit die soziale Kälte nicht noch mehr fortschreitet und alle Gefühle einfriert. Die kurzen ausgeprägten Songs entwickeln eine unglaublich hohe Energie, haben eine Dynamik, die sich verselbständigt und Kräfte freisetzt, die sinnvoll (sozial/menschlich) eingesetzt werden und den eigenen Blickwinkel wendest/änderst. Schließlich geht es um dich und ein bißchen auch um das coaching deiner Generation, das dann beendet ist, endet dann, wenn du den Weg selbstständig alleine weiter gehen kannst und willst.

This is, what the Farmer's Boulevard "Fear, Loss & Deadication" EP looks like. Grab it from the Farmer's Boulevard online store, or join the Band at the release party on December 17th.

Bestens eingespielt steht ihnen der DIY-Sound gut zu Gesicht und entwickelt eine eigene Schlagkraft.

from the "Fear, Loss & Deadication" EP review in Music Scan Online Magazine, written by Dominik.

Again, you can read it in machine-translated English or the german original here:

Das Urgestein der Leipziger Hardcore-Szene FARMER'S BOULEVARD haben die nun veröffentlichte EP "Fear, Loss & Deadication" lange zurück gehalten. Nicht etwa, weil sie am Material arbeiten wollten, oder weil ihnen die Plattform fehlte, sondern weil aus geplanten Jubiläums- und Split-Veröffentlichungen nicht geworden ist. Deshalb nutzen sie die Gelegenheit und überbrücken kurzer Hand die Wartezeit zum für 2011 geplanten Album. In bester Oldschool HC -Manier zeigen FARMER'S BOULEVARD dabei auf, dass sie auch nach 13 Jahren noch ausreichend Wut im Bauch haben, um gesellschaftskritisches wie persönliches hinaus zu brüllen. Bestens eingespielt steht ihnen der DIY-Sound gut zu Gesicht und entwickelt eine eigene Schlagkraft. Die ersten drei der insgesamt fünf Titel sind neue Nummern, gefolgt von zwei neu aufgenommenen Songs vom 1998'er Demotape "Twenty Minutes Show", die beweisen, dass der Vierer sich und seinem Sound treu geblieben ist. Unzählige Konzerte in ganz Europa, 15 Veröffentlichungen als EP, LP, CD und Compilation später stehen FARMER'S BOULEVARD immer noch hinter der Message und der Scheuklappen -freien Musik, geändert hat sich also bis auf das Alter der Hardcore-Recken nichts und das vertont "Fear, Loss & Deadication" kurzweilig.

[pcsrecords]

Textlich bewegt sich das Ganze auf einer anspruchsvolleren Ebene

from the "Fear, Loss & Deadication" EP review in Fuze Mag #25.

Hooks? What's that?

Fuze is a free (as in free beer) available print magazine from Germany, it's like the cheap brother of the Ox. Check it in the original layout, or read the german text right here:

FARMER'S BOULEVARD - Hardcore made in Leipzig. "Fear, Loss & Deadication" ist nicht etwa die Arbeit der letzten vier Jahre, in denen die Band nichts herausgebracht hat, sondern enthält zwei alte Songs vom 1998 veröffentlichten Demotape, die allerdings neu aufgenommen wurden, sowie drei neue Stücke, die ursprünglich für eine Split-Seven-Inch geplant waren. Musikalisch geht es traditionell laut und schnell zu. Man merkt, dass sich zwischen 1998 und heute nicht verändert hat. Textlich bewegt sich das Ganze auf einer anspruchsvolleren Ebene, aber die Hooks sind leider nicht so catchy, wie man das von der Tough-Guy-Fraktion kennt. (by Georg Büchner)

"Fun, Love & Dedication" is the title track of the "Fear, Loss & Deadication" EP by Farmer's Boulevard, the release show is on December 17th, 2010, at Lichtwirtschaft Leipzig.

You can download the track from last.fm, and of course you can share it legally with your friends! Check out the lyrics:

what is your heart truly beat for? what emotions pushing you forward?

our minds are caught by the years, the mood is on the edge. this is our story about love, and fun, and dedication! without the time together, we could not be the same, all those experiences we wouldn't have made.

ignoring dead ends, breaking walls! all the tense moments we've survived. we could not buy those memories, this is way more than just a dream!

now we stand here, noone can keep us down! this is about love, fun and dedication!

we will stay here, just join us! think about respect and diy, let's make a difference to how it works today! we hate the markets, we love the people, this is what we believe in. ideas last forever.

we can't agree to everything but the colors shine so bright. what is real, and what is just style? it's on you to decide.

forever, this will stay. forever, ideas last, forever, this is what, forever, our hearts beat for!
