ADAM ANGST are the good/bad conscience among German-language guitar bands. Singer Felix Schönfuß manages to pack political and social criticism with wordplay like no other in this country, so that you have to grab your own nose more than once while listening. If all the clichés that are usually used for "rock music with German lyrics" didn't sound so endlessly stupid, they could easily be applied to ADAM ANGST as well. Because whether as support for Die Ärzte, Die Toten Hosen or Beatsteaks, or at Rock Am Ring/Rock Im Park, Hurricane/Southside and every other festival in the German-speaking countries with 500 - 70,000 visitors, or on their own sold-out tours - ADAM ANGST, pardon the pun, tear it up. Consisting of current and former members of Frau Potz, Escapado, FJØRT, Waterdown, Duchamp or Blackmail, this is really no surprise.
Damn, it's happened again! Not only have ADAM ANGST recorded a new album, their third, no, they've also written songs again that fit so mercilessly perfectly into the social, German now that it really hurts. Because let's put it this way: it doesn't look good. For all of us. The third album by Felix Schönfuss, David Frings, Roman Hartmann, Christian Kruse and Johannes Koster is called "TWIST" and will be released on 17.11.2023 via Grand Hotel van Cleef. The first single "Die Lösung für deine Probleme" (release date 21.07.23) is musically a very atypical song for the band, whose core competence usually lies in the area of 'guitar wood at 180bpm+'. Over two thirds of the song we hear Felix Schönfuss solo on the piano before the orchestra joins in for the grand finale and, admittedly, lays it on thick - but what else can you do these days but resort to such means? If the song proves one thing, it's that you can really expect anything from ADAM ANGST on TWIST.
