Storm Over The Mainland/Clear With Black Splatter Vinyl

Description

The 10th album celebrates Offenders' 20th anniversary with 12 new songs that blend all of Offenders' influences over the years: from the offbeat rhythm of "Partizani in Budapest" to the mandolin punk rock of "Off my Chest" – from the ska-punk of "The Way the People Think" to the guitar riff of "Sixteenth Round."Straight to the face, a hard-hitting, unique and blended sound as proven release after release, ready for the new singalong chorus or the next dance floor hit!Since their beginnings, Offenders have supported and continue to support anti-fascist and anti-racist youth clubs, squats, and football groups throughout Europe and beyond.Their message is clear and, of course, still found in the new songs: A party song like "Partizani in Budapest," which seems boozy at first glance, turns out to be a rebellious resistance song against the annual national parade, called "Day of Honor," dominated by Hungarian right-wing extremists."The Way the People Think" talks about the rise of right-wing populism in Germany – always mixing social criticism with private matters and life experience, as can be heard in "The Breach" or "Off my Chest."The Offenders are by no means just a fun band, even if their music has a lot to offer.Perhaps that's what has made them successful, credible, and increasingly popular for 20 years: "Storm Over The Mainland" is an album fitting for an anniversary. Here's to the next 20 years of The Offenders.
