Very catchy, danceable and well composed music with equally catchy lyrics. Here the drinkable people is addressed. Crude Humor, Language Goss not quite mature lyrics tell here passages from the life of Hotze Knasterbart, a journeyman, in which many people would certainly cross the road, they met him.
From his mother violated, landed directly in the gutter to the penitentiary he spends his days trying to drink brandy, smoking Knaster and to compete for the favor of the equally rundown female Goss residents. At his side is his buddy Fummelfips who tells also about his experiences at the margins of society.
The music is fun, it is folk music at its best, combined with rock elements.
Who knows Versengold and Mr Hurley, who knows that in both bands Rhyme genius work. Snorre Snörkelfrey (Hotze) and Mr. Hurley (Fummelfips), the poetic heads Knasterbarts know here skillfully juggle with words.
And exactly that makes this album so unique for me. Because so funny, so cheerful songs are also, if you want, then you can find a lot of social criticism in the texts. Every now and then a laugh in the throat remains stuck there, because if you look at it closely, these figures that there enjoying ourselves so cheerful, highly tragic figures.
And at the latest, when you stand in Knasterbart front of the stage, people look the celebrate there and shout along to the anthem of "brandy People's Party", I wonder me because if not who gets just held one or the other a large mirror in front of her eyes without realizing it and confuse the irony in the songs with simple encouragement of her sometimes quite blunt occurrence.
