Pisse
Hornhaut Ist Der Beste Handschuh 7″
Pisse is a German punk band that walks a fine line between being silly and fucking genius.
There are four 8-bit punk tracks on this seven-inch vinyl, and, as the band name suggests, they are really pissed off. They’re pissed at the football coach Christoph Daum who, for the uninitiated, has a mustache, enjoys a line of coke, and used to manage the Romanian national team. They are also pissed off at work, but at least there are vacation days, supposedly once a year to a tropical island. They’re pissed at Dresden—”like Munich but without the money”. And they have a solution for all the assholes who pissed them off—kick them in the kneecaps until they’re used to going to work in a wheelchair—”like a rolling stone”.
It is indeed a punk record! And obviously a disturbing piece of fish fetishism. It’s ultra catchy with its barebones punk vibe, minimalist 8-bit synth beats, and raw, shouted vocals of ’80s deutschpunk fame.
