POPSALON - Grenzkontrolle
HEUTE IN DER KLEINEN FREIHEIT: GRENZKONTROLLE
GRENZKONTROLLE are loud, direct and uncompromising - and not just musically. The four-piece collective writes songs that get to the heart of social grievances: unaffordable housing, social coldness, political brutalization. Singer Don L. Gaspár Ali doesn't shout into the microphone to make noise - he shouts because looking away is not an option. Musically, GRENZKONTROLLE move between edgy German-style post-punk, the influences of Neue Deutsche Welle and the anger of US rap. This mixture creates a sound that is not only accusatory, but also stirring - a call to action, packaged in energetic, driving beats and lyrics that stick with you. Live, this band is a force to be reckoned with. Their performances are intense, physical, and you often get the feeling that the audience and band are merging into a single, loud protest. That's not a pose - that's attitude. GRENZKONTROLLE bring exactly this attitude to the Popsalon Festival: Music that reflects, provokes and shakes things up. A voice that you can't ignore - and that won't turn down.
