Description:
You won't catch these Germans out for modesty. And you won't catch them out for not starting a punch up with Courtney Love then getting arrested for DUI. Die Toten Punkte topped the European charts, for what it's worth, in 2005 with their pop punk anthem ‘The Best Band in the World'. Now they're doing a local launch for their album Super Musikant. We can tell you're still saying WTF. Well, just listen for once because US music press has called them "a sonic collision between Plastic Bertrand, Kraftwerk and early Ramones". Sure, they might be a teeny bit dramatic with the stage make-up but if you can do that and still be compared to the Stooges, du machst gut, nicht? Kunst. - PM
