Shitshow

Hamburg, Germany

Life is too short for long songs. Anyone who’s had this motto tattooed on their heart should go ahead and reserve a spot in the front row at a Shitshow gig. The four Hamburgers serve up a well-orchestrated chaos of punk rock, hardcore, and rock’n’roll—the hottest Thing since someone accidentally poured vodka into Tabasco. The tracks on their latest LP scrape even the grimiest frustration from the cracks of everyday life, compressing it into irresistibly groovy tirades that grind between your teeth like a November stroll along the Elbe beach. Shitshow leave you with a choice: jump on board or get run over. Truth be told, it’s not much of a choice—hesitate too long, and you’ve already lost.
