NEWS-ARCHIVE
SUCK is a relatively new band from Kassel and Hamburg.
The combo already set a first exclamation mark in 2019, when they left a lasting impression at three shows supporting AMYL AND THE SNIFFERS. In 2022 they released their first long player, "RIBBIT", on which they reproduced the energy of their live shows to perfection. A concentrated load of fuzz garage punk awaits us, which is crowned by the singing of frontwoman Isabell. Parts of our crew have already been able to convince themselves of their live qualities and are very enthusiastic! SUCK are another insider tip of our festival!

Murphys's Law at BTF? does that fit? Of course, like ass on bucket!
For those unfamiliar with the band Murphy's Law, here is an apt description of the band from the Ox fanzine:
“At the heyday of hardcore, when mission and toughness determined the gesture of almost every band, a band from the early days withdrew from all this without losing sight of the realities of their scene. MURPHY'S LAW from New York have toured and played with the RAMONES, the BEASTIE BOYS, the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, RUN-D.M.C. and FISHBONE, whose horn section also helped out on some records. Their refreshing mix of HC, punk, ska and reggae gets into your blood, especially live, and thankfully never takes itself seriously.”
I have no idea how the band got its name, Murphy's law is: "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong." - we're looking forward to a big boat of chaos!

With VSK, a German punk grenade awaits us in Glaubitz by popular request!
But let's start with the origin: VERSAUTE STIEFINDER - a political German punk band from Freiberg, who wrote timeless punk classics in the 90s, is the root of all "evil"!
With the current band line up there are exactly two people from the original line-up. With Martin and Nils from RASTA KNAST and singer Julian (including GLOOMSTER) they present these hits in a new guise. This suits the combative songs perfectly, sounds much rougher and is reminiscent of legends like CANAL TERROR or TOXOPLASMA. Their current LP "Auf allen Weg" now also includes their own songs, these always go forward and transport current content with the right energy!
A warm "Hello" goes out to VSK and we're looking forward to the fact that "Glaubitz" will work out in 2023!

Yes, the new Ox fanzine is here!
I cleared out the mailbox yesterday after my vacation of several weeks! Yes, the new OxFanzine is here! Quickly flipped through and what can I say - two of our headliner bands with PASCOW and COCK SPARRER are very busy with interviews... and then dear Joachim Hiller also put us on the cover page - thank you!
What else should one write about the Ox fanzine, the punk fanzine with the highest circulation with all its great interviews, sections and columns is always worth recommending or subscribing to. In the publishing house itself, all issues of #166 are probably already sold out, there are then only the options kiosk or record shops. Have fun while reading!

huh Why is a couple being filmed here going to a travel agency? And why is there beer there!?
Hm... Isn't that the bird with the camera in hand, not the magician from last year's forest bath? Is correct! He always makes the trailers and after-show clips for Back To Future. If that's not the preparatory work for the upcoming trailer. Looks exciting.
You can find all previous trailers and clips by the way »HERE
