Dark wave meets dirty punk Stress is a raw, pulsating explosion of dark wave, dashing punk and dirty garage sound. The trio from Rostock creates soundscapes that feel like a nocturnal foray through abandoned industrial areas – raw, angry and electrifyingly melancholic. Their debut album of the same name gets to the heart of a sound that cuts its very own path somewhere between punk rage, wave melancholy and garage dirt. The record comprises 12 tracks, the lyrics written in German and English, all under high tension: uncompromising, direct and with a fine sense of dark catchiness - without getting lost in clichés. The alternating male and female vocals give the band a special dynamic.
