"ALLES BRENNT" is not the raised index finger, but the clenched fist, as EXISTENT make clear directly musically and lyrically. With their new single, the five guys from EXISTENT not only whet the appetite for their second and by the fans long-awaited new album "STILLER HELD", but also show themselves belligerent and concerned about the future of this world.

But the head is not left hanging and so shall arise from the ashes new by resisting together against the current conditions.

The German high-flyers BIRD'S VIEW sound old and new at the same time! Punk, hardcore, skate music and modern sounds all in one. The band creates a unique magic that has earned them a deal with Drakkar Entertainment / Soulfood, among others.

With their new single "SPIT" BIRD'S VIEW bring generations together in the mosh pit and show that handmade music is the most fun after all! With their first song in 2023, BIRD'S VIEW show that they remain young at heart, driven by youthful vigor and eager to break down sonic and ideological barriers.

"Immer erst am Anfang", the first single from the album shows: You can still expect a lot from VIVA!
The new album "Das ist die Wahrheit" is a mixture of rock, pop and punk.

VIVA continue their steep rise in the German rock scene with their first single "Immer erst am Anfang" from the 3rd album.
As usual VIVA: rocking, catchy, honest and uncompromising.

Flo from VIVA about the new single:
"Immer erst am Anfang" was the last song I wrote for the new album "Das ist die Wahrheit". We worked very intensively in different studios and with different producers to bring "our" sound and the love for German music even better on the album. We developed further during this time, especially in "us" personally as a band. So the song is like a best-of summary of our last 1,5 years, in which we worked intensively on the album.




We all live in a demanding time, surrounded by too much hatred, war, violence, ill will, poverty and inequality. Often, in all the stress of everyday life, we miss a little bit of charity and the ability of people to take more care of each other. Especially now, in the contemplative Christmas season, we want to send hope and sunshine into a cold, ever faster turning world with this song. We want to make people think. Therefore, our video clip also begins with a valuable quote from one of the greatest personalities of the last century, Nelson Mandela!
"No one is born hating other people because of their skin color, ethnic background or religion. Hate is learned! And if you can learn to hate, you can learn to love! Because love is a much more natural feeling in a person's heart than its opposite. "

Guitarist Ändi on the song:
"We chose this song and released it for Christmas because the song "time to wonder" and the message it sends has always been very close to our hearts. Our vision was, "What would the song sound like if GREEN DAY did it? We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2023, let 2023 be the year for all of us".

 

This is punk rock! BRDIGUNG run to top form with their new single and show clear edge! Where others duck away and gloss over, BRDIGUNG are not afraid to be ugly and call a spade a spade. "Punkrock Genozid" is a musical sweeping blow and another facet of their musical skills without bending.

Julez from BRDIGUNG about the song:

"With our new song we party energetically as rarely before. Clear announcements and settlements are the focus of the song, where we use different genres to create our own, very individual sound. It will be hard, it will be loud, it will be BRDIGUNG"

SILENZER actually brings the fans a wide range of hard metal music into the house. With the last album "X" they even made it into the official German album charts in 2022!
But on their upcoming mini - EP "B & A" the 5 Austrians once again showcase the broad spectrum of their music and strike softer tones! A dark and morbid interplay of piano, cello and acoustic guitars shows SILENZER in a new guise and presents the fans a surprising musical experience. With their piano version of their hit "Deine Nähe tut weh" the guys not only give us a first taste of their EP, but once again show their songwriting talent.

Guitarist Dave about the single:

"With the piano version of our song "Deine Nähe Tut weh" we want to give our quieter and more soulful side the stage it deserves. A very meaningful song in our band history wrapped in a new garment."



On January 6th, the last real punk rock band BRDIGUNG is going to release their new full-length studio album, entitled WIEDER HÄSSLICH.

For 20 years now, BRDIGUNG have been unabatedly wreaking havoc in the German music landscape. Regular chart successes and countless club shows and festival gigs under their belt, but still no sign of fatigue.

The four guys from Kempen (NRW) stand for uncompromising sound, snotty humor, and a rarely-seen joy of experimentation that breaks the boundaries of different musical genres. Metallic riff thunderstorms, straight punk, electronic party rock, or soft ballads.

BRDIGUNG continue to be versatile following the previously released, two tracks "Tune in MF" & “Brennt den Club ab”. Today the band has shared their new song + video for their new single "Niemals aufgewacht"

The German rock band EXISTENT delivers us with "SCHREI" a party hit of modern catchy alternative rock guitars and a catchy chorus vocal line that puts you in a celebratory mood for the weekend! Youthful punk attitude meets post-Covid mood and a cosmopolitan togetherness.

"SCHREI" lets the images of wild nights from carefree times pass before the inner eye. With their new single, the five guys from EXISTENT not only make you want to listen to a new album, but also to go around the houses together again in post-Covid times. Alternative rock guitars meet fat drum beats, with singer Marcel inviting us to a horny time together. While the world is currently trying mightily to spoil our mood, we should appreciate the beautiful moments in life all the more and dance "so lang' es geht'".

Singer Marcel on the single:

"The song was created when the first clubs and bars opened their doors again and we had to somehow process all this energy that was suddenly felt again. I remember very well how I stood in the club on my first evening on the Hamburger Berg and in a sea of people met all the people again who seemed to have disappeared for half an eternity. It was simply everything like it used to be! This evening of emotions, hugs, music and lots of drinks, felt like a cry of liberation that made all the worries from the past years disappear for a moment."




In their early twenties and they are just getting started: Following a debut EP and their recent signing with Drakkar Entertainment, up-and-coming BIRDS VIEW are gearing up to take the world of rock 'n' roll by storm! The refreshing combination of a riff-driven, loud and catchy sound, that channels the flavor of groups like Foo Fighters, Turnstile or Queens Of The Stone Age, already seen them winning prestigious prizes (German Rock & Pop Award 2019, JBL Back to Stage, etc.) and working with some of the biggest names in the German music scene.

BIRD'S VIEW have premiered a brand new single, that already showcases an enthralling sneak peak of a full album to be released in the not so distant future! "Phoning" is a mix of grim guitars, catchy beats and trendy melodies, as the band says: „The main goal of that track was to start with a riff that simply blows you away… we think it worked out."

Welcome to the Drakkar family!

We are incredibly happy to introduce another great new act to our roster: EXISTENT.

What started as a fixed idea of longtime friends on a whim, gave a first sign of life with the 2013 released EP "Ein neuer Weg" and finally came to life in 2016 with the release of the debut album "Startschuss" (Remedy Records/Rude Records).

Almost 10 years after their first release, the 5 guys are now pitching their tents in the Drakkar camp and will release their new album "STILLER HELD" in the coming summer of 2023. It is already clear: the musical development of recent years will be continued and it will be addressed opinionated, which must not fall under the table!

Singer Marcel on the signing:

"We are incredibly happy to be signed to Drakkar. Since our last EP "Kartenhaus" the band has developed furiously, which is why we are now even happier to continue this development with Jochen and Max and of course the entire Soulfood and Believe team. There is a lot planned and the first news will follow already in the coming days".
