We are happy to announce that our new EP is going to be released in the next few days. Release show is on February 10th at Plaque in Leipzig.

Our new "The Flying Cat" EP comes with 5 songs, check out the snippet video on Youtube. Beside digital download and steaming it will be out on LP, MC and CD, all physical mediums include the full "MMXVI" EP from 2016 on the B-Sides.

We would love if you join us at the record release show on February 10th, 2018. The Plaque in Leipzig is a really cool place and we are lucky guys that Injured List and 20 Liter Yoghurt are with us on that evening.

Thank you for 2017! We are very proud on you, escpecially for your support to raise money for refugees in Greece, all "Cold Faces (Gutmensch EP)" tapes were sold out, so we were able to give more than 1000 Euros to the guys in Greece. We also played some great shows there, check out the tour gallery.

We played some great shows, we loved every minute of them. The show with Battery at Conne Island was one of the highlights. We recorded another EP and we also have some other new songs in the queue.

For tomorrow we prepared a small thing (aka free download) to give something back to you. In February we are going to release our new EP.

Ready for 2018, have a good time with your families and friends, kisses ... Angstbreaker.

Angstbreaker "Cold Faces (Gutmensch EP)" out now

Unser "Cold Faces" Tape mit 8 Songs ist fertig! Es basiert auf einem bisher unveröffentlichten Album von 2015. Neben der Kassette gibt es auch Downloads. Alle Einnahmen gehen an das Mikropolis Refugees & Immigrants Project in Griechenland. Unter allen Unterstützer*innen wird eine exklusive 7"-Single verlost.

Über 65 Mio Menschen sind weltweit dazu gezwungen, ihr Zuhause zu verlassen. Die Gründe sind vielfältig: Naturkatastrophen, soziale oder staatliche Unterdrückung, Terrorismus, Krieg. Mehr als 16 Mio Flüchtlinge sind beim Flüchtlingshilfswerk der Vereinten Nationen registriert, der größte Teil ist derzeit aus Afghanistan, Somalia and Syrien. Sehr viele bleiben im Mittleren Osten und Nordafrika, weniger als 10% der Menschen schaffen es nach Europa. Die EU hat inzwischen alle Grenzen geschlossen, Frontex massiv verstärkt und Zäune gebaut.

Das Mikropolis Refugees & Immigrants Project betreut ungefähr 45 Menschen aus Syrien und Afghanistan in Häusern, welche gemietet oder von der Bevölverung vor Ort zur Verfügung gestellt wurden. Sie versorgen die Menschen alle 2 Wochen mit Nahrungsmitteln und anderen Sachen für den täglichen Bedarf. Außerdem wird Bildung organisiert, Sprachklassen für die Erwachsenen und Grundschule für die Kinder bevor diese Zugang zu öffentlichen Schulen bekommen. Zusammen mit den Geflüchteten wurde eine kleine Bäckerei und eine Sprachschule für Arabisch aufgebaut, wo mit Spenden gezahlt wird.

Alle Unterstützer*innen, welche diese Soli-EP kaufen, können eine sehr limitierte 7inch-Version mit 4 Songs gewinnen. Diese wird speziell nur dafür produziert und niemals regulär veröffentlicht. Pro 5 Euro beim Kauf gibt es eine Gewinnchance.

Benefit EP is coming closer!

You like animated GIFs? Share this one!

Serious topic, our benefit EP "Cold Faces" to show some support for refugees in Greece and a local campaign for them in Thessaloniki comes closer. We hope to have it out in May.

[angstbreaker]

We played the first shows this year, after we focused on the new recordings. It was a good feeling to be back on stage.

Props and love to the crews and nice people in Basta Görlitz and Ars-Vitae Rodewisch, our buddies from 20 Liter Yoghurt, Chaver and Festefeste. Check them out.

We'll finish the artwork of the benefit EP now, it's name will probably be "Cold Faces (Gutmensch EP)."

Kisses, Angstbreaker

We already posted this song via Facebook but we don't want to get trapped in this walled data garden, in case you don't have a account, do not follow us, or just missed our update there.

The song "Strife/Pose" is one of the 8 songs that we recorded back in 2015. We planned an album but it never saw the light because 3 of 6 people left the band. We decided 2016 to finish the album in 2016, even if we won't play most of the songs live. It's part of the Angstbreaker history and it would be sad to lose this record.

Before the regular album version we are going to release a special version of it as EP to show some solidarity, the money from that release is planned as benefit for a campaign helping refugees in Europe. Please support us in that case! More details in a few weeks. Subscribe to our newsletter to stay updated about these plans.

Hope you like the song, let us some love and comments here.

Lyrics:

I close my eyes, I see it again, a broken mirror and open wounds. This second is over but the feeling remains, I'm scared of my own thoughts. I'm the muser and my victim, united in one person. I searched for reasons but found just nothing. Sweet bitterness again.

Optimists love their dreams, pessimists reject the world.

Stimulated emotions, merged into my reality. How does it feel to crash into something? Does it change anything, if I give up control?

I am not the only one who is dreaming. Who is dreaming?

I clear my mind, accept the fears. Unseen sphere of consciousness. I don't care about my demons. I don't judge yours.

Turmoil, nothing is real. Balance, nothing is true.

Our tour is over, we are back home since Sunday night. After a few days off we feel like starting again, immediately. So we look forward to the concerts in November, check our website for the dates.

The tour were great. It was called Last Minute Tour 2016, not without a reason: half of the shows were confirmed just around two weeks before we started. And all shows worked out very well, we are lucky guys. We have seen new places and new towns, met nice people, had good food and new brands of beer. We had much fun.

We hope you had a good time with us, too. In case you made some pics or videos of an Angstbreaker concert, please let us know. We do not have any live pics. But we captured some moments in between, we will share some pics during next weeks from time to time.

We really thank everyone who made this tour possible: Radek and Cafe Na Pul Cesky, Zabza, Sista and David from Litomysl, Jakub and Klub Oko, Julia and Willy*Fred and Kapu, Mentl and EKH, Accident and Route 66, Stefan and Tante Timbuktu, This and Industriestrasse9, Zdenko and Bändruum, Fabian and Koch Areal. Kisses to all the cool bands we were allowed to play with.

What’s up next? We wanna finish and release the Benefit EP for a refugee organisation, as well as our lost record from last year, parallel we write new songs for another EP next year.

Hugs, Cheers and WinkeWinke, Angstbreaker

Switzerland, the first time for us, and we liked it. Again we met nice people and made new friends. The guys from Congreed let us feel young and like a pop punk band. Tante Timbuktu shared our passion for higher philosophical talks. Luzern got our 5 stars for the food, Altstätten came along with family atmosphere and introduced us to their traditional country life, and Zürich made us feel good with a hot pot pool and a hungry crowd. Be sure we try to come back again.
