Ruby Tuesday | NEIN DANKE

Small break, big break, purple break, menopause: this is how Nein Danke have introduced themselves to their audience since their debut EP "Acid Punk" (2022), thus defining the thematic and musical framework of the song material.

The duo from Neuwied play feminist electro-punk that makes use of snotty programmed drums and synths to appropriately accompany the ambiguous, semi-nihilistic lyrics. Middle fingers shoot out of the ground like toadstools; contradictions become truths. On the frizzy-haired hobbyhorses of the latest New German Wave, the two punks of the last hour ride into the sunset of the patriarchy - anonymous, pissed off, fearless. Audiolith was once founded because of bands like this, as Linus Volkmann once said.

With "Ich weiß nicht, wo ich bin" (2024), Nein Danke prove this diagnosis right and, at the same time, don't give a damn about all the expectations of nine-times-wise feuilletons and the exploitation mechanisms of a bankrupt culture industry. The label doesn't matter, but it's the will that counts. Are we ready for it? Yes, please!
