about

Pascow and Spermbirds work together on a project and the outcome is an extraordinary piece of work. Pascow cover respectively interpret two songs. First of all “Spraypaint the walls”, an unreleased song by “Cüntsler“, a band from Düsseldorf. Pascow newly arranged and shortened the song. The second song is Dackelblut’s “Friseur” from the LP “Schützen und Fördern”. Pascow play the song faster and with a lot of drive, yet they stay close to the original which really suits their interpretation of the song. Nevertheless you cannot make a Dackelblut –Song better than the original. So it’s a sovereign and respectful way to deal with a German punk rock classic.
The two Spermbirds songs were recorded during the sessions for the „A Columbus Feeling“ album, but remained unfinished as the band run out of time. Guitar player Steve Wiles took care of the fragmented tracks, followed by a new mixing and mastering. “What Jet said” is a great melodic midtempo stomper, “Running in Front of Cars” is fast and furious, and deals textually with a guy who likes to run in front of cars.
About the packaging: This work comes as vinyl version only, a double 7 in a thick gatefold cover. The artwork is from Kay Oezdemir. Both 7“s come in different vinyl colours matching the cover. Additionally you get a the corresponding download codes. Lyrics are on the inside of the cover. In the end an extraordinary work with lots of love for the detail.

Je zwei neue Songs von Pascow und Spermbirds auf einer Single! Pascow sind zwar schon länger unterwegs, aber erst das letzte Album „Alles muss kaputt sein“ verschaffte ihnen auch außerhalb der Punkrock-Szene das Gehör, das sie eigentlich verdient haben. Auf der Single hören wir die Interpretation des Cüntsler Songs „Spraypaint the walls“ sowieso den Dackelblut Coversong „Friseur“, der die Band seit langem begleitet. Als persönlicher Lieblingssong wie auch als Teil des Liveprogramms. Beide von Kurt Ebelhäuser im Studio 45 aufgenommen, mit mächtig Dampf und tollem Sound.
Die beiden Spermbirds Stücke sind bei den Aufnahmen zum letzten Album „A Columbus Feeling“ unvollendet geblieben und wurden nun von Gitarrist Steve Wiles neu aufgearbeitet und gemastert. „What Jet Said“ ist ein melodischer midtempo Stomper, „Running in front of cars“ eher kurz und heftig, mit einem lebensmüden „Vor-Auto-Läufer“ als Textthema.
Die Aufmachung lässt keine Wünsche offen: Klappcover im Inside-Out-Druck, zwei Vinylfarben, plus Downloadcode und abgedruckte Texte im Innenteil.
