Punk am Kreuz: Soko LinX, Erection, Kotzreiz und TYNA

In the organizer's words:

Punk on the cross
With SOKO LiNX, Erection, Kotzreiz and TYNA

SOKO LiNX
For some time now, the state executive has been investigating a gang music culture within its own ranks. After an internal study established that there is no structural racism within the agency and that neo-Nazi sentiments play no role at all among the officers, the administration is now investigating the departments for left-wing extremist tendencies based on various reports from the public. According to the initial findings of the investigation, a band(s) was/are formed in Leipzig Connewitz on December 13, 2019, which brings guitar-heavy music to the population. With a fast beat, electronic accompaniment and polyphonic vocals, the perpetrators have already lured their audience to numerous live concerts. In all cases so far, the result has been a listening pleasure on an as yet unknown scale. The group frames their alleged crimes with extremist slogans such as "Don't do what you can't do", "Death penalty for all" or "Intolerance of all intolerance". A political motivation in many of the songs cannot be ruled out at present. According to information from social networks, their first album AUF DIE FRESZE. FERTIG. LOS! was released on vinyl by BAKRAUFARFITA Records. The successor BLOSZ KEINEN STRESZ is already in the starting blocks for 2024. The members have already appeared in various music cartels in the past.
The musical-criminal activities are currently ongoing.

The perpetrators are described as follows: Guitar. Drums. Mask. Bass.
The investigating authorities are dependent on the help of music fans to solve the crimes.

Witnesses who can provide relevant information on the dissemination of the musical potpourri in the form of concerts etc. are asked to
to contact SOKO LiNX, Bornaische Straße 1, 04277 Leipzig, Tel. 0341-1312161 or any other rock office.


ERECTION
From the booze-soaked idea of a feminist band with maximum fun-profit to a powerhouse with world power ambitions.Julia Melzer is not one of the most highly regarded singers in punk rock for nothing. From countless gigs and tours, including in the UK and at the world's biggest punk rock festival Rebellion, to appearances with well-known bands such as WIZO and many more. Always on the move, always aggressive and demanding, and above all the clichés that some people may have, Julia always strikes the right note to get her message across to the audience. Julia is flanked by guitarist Schtiefn. The multi-instrumentalist has long been no stranger to the punk rock scene. On the other hand, Tino Pustet a.k.a. Tino maltreats the thick strings of his bass with the Big Dino. The extroverted stage sweeper, who likes to dress in a fishnet shirt and leopard print, has been causing the necessary chaos and providing the best entertainment ever since the band was recorded. Not one, but two drummers work in the background: Team Hei-Di! Andi Strasser and Heinz Lehmann like each other very much and share the position behind the drums live and in the studio. A new cosmos!ERECTION play the finest power punk'n'roll!ERECTION are sexy! ERECTION are the future!


TYNA
Unvarnished lyrics and charisma, combined with a good dose of punk rock and NDW! The Hamburg band TYNA is a wild bunch of incorrigible stubborn heads; NDW synths flirt with brash punk guitars, gang shouts and pop hooks. Lyrics with backbone deal with topics such as racism, mental health and empowerment. Live and on record, TYNA smash you against the wall with a lot of energy and a contemporary, independent sound. On tour with scene giants such as ZSK and 100 Kilo Herz, at major festivals (Southside, Hurricane, Highfield and many more) and last but not least on their own "PNK" club tour in April 2024, TYNA have earned a reputation as a highly energetic live band. With a lot of passion, sweat and attitude, they win fans across genre boundaries, because in times like these it is important to offer loud contradiction to all the noise from anti-democratic and misanthropic screamers: with concentrated power TYNA invite you to celebrate and fight together, for yourself and for others.

KOTZREIZ
14 years ago, KOTZREIZ from Berlin stirred up the punk scene with their debut album "Du machst die Stadt kaputt" and made quite a splash. Their recipe for success is as simple as it is ingenious: catchy melodies paired with a raucous sound and plenty of clichés. The songs, which are essentially about drinking, scrounging and puking, hit the mark with German punk fans and the Uglypunk webzine immediately predicts a great future for them: "This album will very probably go down in German punk rock history." And the author was proved right, because when the follow-up "Punk bleibt Punk" was released in 2012 at the latest, there was no getting away from KOTZREIZ. The record's eponymous title track became a punk anthem and "Pfeffi Graf" caused an unexpected boom in the peppermint schnapps industry across the country. In 2020, KOTZREIZ returned with "Nüchtern unerträglich".

At the legendary KOTZREIZ shows, the Friedrichshainers' image is their program. In other words: it's all about banging, snogging and drinking - all night long!
