How to describe the sound of HOW YES NO? Are you reminded of the short, radical songs by WIRE on their debut "Pink Flag"? Or rather the more playful GANG OF FOUR? Leaving aside the old post-punk greats, one might think of the more contemporary LITHICS.

In any case, the band plays their very own playful interpretation of post-punk, also called art-punk by some. But what does that mean? If you deal with the bands mentioned above, the picture opens up very quickly.

However, HOW YES NO do not come from the UK or the USA like their references, but are a scion of the burgeoning Croatian punk scene.in addition to Croatian acts such as Neon Lies, Mizerija or Parnepar, the trio is regularly on long tours throughout Europe and is building up their fanbase nonstop and with great success.

Last year's surprise SOCKE are coming back to Berlin!!! Decades after Sluts'n there's finally good German punk from Heidelberg again! Snotty German punk with a slight hardcore touch, but also a bit more experimental and a synthesizer is often used. The guys are angry and "Friedrich Scherz (Christlich Asozial)" is the first German punk anthem against the current German chancellor. What more could you want?
