This Year's Records 9/18

As always there should be a German artist appear on the list. I was glad that Stuttgart based band Die Nerven release another new album this year. It is the third one in a very short time and probably it is their best. They still play another kind of angry post-punk with massive guitars but know they reduce their speed in few songs to create a sound that is more than angry music played in a hurry. If you don't understand the words it is not necessary to try to translate because most of them are senseless arty phrases. But the music stands for itself and if you will try some contemporary German post-punk you might not find anything better.
