KOCHKRAFT DURCH KMA

In the organizer's words:

In the local indie punk context, there has hardly been a path in recent years that has not led past KOCHKRAFT DURCH KMA from Duisburg Marxloh. Whether at numerous own shows or even more festival appearances, or on tours together with bands as diverse as Team Scheisse, Kettcar, Das Lumpenpack, FJØRT or Adam Angst - Kochkraft was always there. And, after sometimes confused first impressions, KOCHKRAFT DURCH KMA are one of those bands that ultimately take every person in the room with them.

With the new single "Ehrlich", the band announced their new studio album "Hardcore never dies das" on 23.01.25, which will be released on 11.04.25 via Grand Hotel van Cleef. "Ehrlich" plays to all the strengths of the indie rave punks: the danceable synth-beat framework pretends to be light entertainment, but the lyrics grab you by the ears and really shake you up. According to the band, it's about "self-optimization, conservative backlash, permanent crises, turbo capitalism, this and that. Sometimes we too are tired of fighting and need that brief moment between idealism and resignation to say: it's hard enough already!" - Anyone who can't empathize with this probably considers themselves lucky not to be part of our society.
