A Hamburg group that never settled into one sound, from early DIY tracks to the 2012 hit 'Leider Geil.'
For their early spirit, try 'Arbeit Nervt.' The later hit 'Leider Geil' frames their knack for catchy, ironic chaos.
They've been mixing hip-hop, punk, and electronics since 1996, and it always feels more like a collision than a blend. Songs like 'Arbeit Nervt' and '99 Bierkanister' captured that rough-edged, humorous energy early on. 'Leider Geil' became a massive hit in 2012, but its catchy beat and shallow-life lyrics didn't smooth out their abrasive, oddball sound.
They formed in Hamburg in 1996, putting out their own records and building a following through live shows. The lineup has changed over time, with Philipp 'Pork' as one consistent member, and their catalog stays unpredictable from one album to the next.
