Hysterese - Fortune



  From Tubingen, Germany, Hysterese have recently released their third self titled album. Lining up with Helen Runge (vocals/guitar), Thomas Haug (vocals/bass), Moritz Kehle (guitar) and Kai Hirt (drums), they remind me a little of Red Dons (or as been mentioned elsewhere, any number of bands from Portland Oregon). The album is out now on This Charming Man Records and you can find it here : https://hysterese.bandcamp.com/ 

  Certainly not venturing into the realms of goth but their music has a dark atmosphere to it though don't expect slow, plodding gloom merchants. Despite being atmospheric they also manage to remain catchy and upbeat. An oxymoron? Possibly. Just have a listen and hopefully you'll see what I'm clumsily trying to convey. The opening track from the album, this is Fortune....

I will not rest 
discover the truth 
put to test 
need to improve 

progress report 
something to proceed 
back and forth between walls 
I go tilt at windmills 

repetition 
hold on to 
brand new old 
need to improve 

nothing to say 
obligation to tell 
back and forth between bounds 
I go run in circles 

determination 
run run run 

provided furtune 
apodictic certainty 
better burn don't fade 
give it another try

Hysterese - Cancer & Cake



  A couple of days ago I did a Just Some Punk Songs North London Bomb Factory special show and it seemed to go down very well with those who listened live. An added bonus for those that were in the chatroom was that Daniel Husayn joined us to discuss the songs that had all been mastered by himself, he revealed he's working on a number of new projects (over 50 if I remember rightly, one of them being a new record by Eat//Read//Sleep who feature members of Hysterese). Anyone who would like to hear the show, it's saved here : http://mixlr.com/mick-fletcher/showreel/just-some-punk-songs-170717/

  Today, I'm posting a song by a band that proved very popular on the show. Hysterese are from Tubingen, Germany and have released a couple of very decent self titled albums : https://hysterese.bandcamp.com/. They play dark, melodic, catchy punk that features both male and female vocals and has drawn comparisons with the likes of Red Dons, Masshysteri, Autistic Youth and Wipers. The line up features Helen (vocals/guitar), Haug (vocals/bass), Kai (drums) and Moritz (guitar).

  On the show I played Asperger Youth so today I'll go with another song from the 2nd album, this is Cancer & Cake.....

he got cancer and he got cake why is it not the other way round? there is no such thing like a punchline and i ask the wrong questions 
and i know that since like forever but it doesn't get better anyway life fades into nothing
