- Linernotes -

Don’t believe people who act radical on stage and deal with major companies. They’re just selling an image, because it sells.
If they’re so devoted to anticapitalist ideas, why do they beg big companies to sell their music? if they’re so devoted to diy, why do they work together with the Gema which leads to money being moved from the diy scene to big musicbusiness everytime they play at an autonomous space? if they make music just for the fun of it, why do they pay money to a producer to do all the really interesting stuff for them? if they love their fans so much, why don’t they have a massive problem with securities blocking them? If they’re against gentrification, why do they take funding and let themselves and their art be used to promote a city? If they’re so anti Germany why let they print it’s flag(!) on their “art” because that’s the condition to receive funding.
Yeah, DIY is hard work, but to us it’s worth it. We can let you download our songs for free, we can play at nice places with nice people without having the Gema mooching from us. We write our own songs and let them be recorded by friends.
They can’t. They need to be sponsored by companies they sing against, work for people that don’t care about their ideas of music and can’t even walk around the place peacefully after a gig, because all the rock star shit they need to sell their records makes people go crazy. All that crap just so they can be “professional” artists who get payed for making their art (in our eyes more for advertising beer and gentrification). This is not jealousy, this is pure arrogance
