Mixing Zustände‘s forthcoming EP on Kink Records.
German punk mixed with garage out of Mannheim!
Here is a review of their first effort:
“Good Throb’s initial public offering draws from all of their previous bands’ work (the Sceptres, the Shitty Limits, Tortura et al.) in the shadows of the Nixe’s Utreg punk, with a hint of “Swiss Punk Now”, a bit of the Australian X’s burliness, but any desire for comparison is overwhelmed by a certain wall of sound and ferocity – on every instrument – that breeds a perfectly nasty sense of empathy. Empathy for a visceral breeze, for the methodical assassination of tedium, for the distilled detestation of our rosy society, and for Tesco anthems. Raw depictions of a mundane universe. (NG – Terminal Boredom)”
“ENRAGED MINORITY represents streetpunk the way it should be: a powerful mix between classic Oi! and hardcore punk with some ska and rock’n’roll influences.
Founded in autumn 2007 in the south-western German town Rheinfelden (Baden) but moved to Freiburg in 2013, ENRAGED MINORITY had a brew with the lads from most of your favourite bands by playing more than 100 concerts all over Europe.
After their debut album (2010), a split EP with Streets Of Rage from Nancy (2012) and a live split album with the legendary The Oppressed (2013), ENRAGED MINORITY now comes around with their second full length album!”
Inspired by a shared love of the Ramones and other 70s punk bands, 60s girl group such as the The Ronettes through to modern North American Garage acts such as Nobunny, Nervous Twitch create short sharp contagious pop songs crammed with hooks and memorable melodies.
“The band oozes confidence, style, and musical ability. They have bags of stage presence and there isn’t one below-par song in their set. Stand-out tracks for me would be “Cherry Bomb”, “Bad Reputation” and “This Modern World”. Ultimately, the band are their own package altogether, but there are reflections of modern garage bands like NOBUNNY and The 5678’s, whilst they also contain elements of 60’s garage/pop bands like The Animals and The Shangri-Las. A very unique sound indeed from this super-talented four-piece.”

“DASKINSEY4 are a band of troublesome queerdos living in Brighton. We’re pretty fun.”
