Bushido

While I tried to digest all the meat in ,my stomach I thought I would try another band/singer from Germany. So I tried Bushido a hip-hop dude based around Berlin.
I liked the video below, but one of the later ones was a bit slow for me. Of course it could be that I like the video below because there are a lot of fist fights. This is German gangsta rap, plenty of fist fights, but no guns (unlike the US version).

Rammstein

So Rammstein seem to a big German metal band. I think that their control over the crowd is amazing. Somehow he makes wearing dungarees cool.


They are very theatrical as well

Stahlhammer

So in my voyage of discovery of German music, today we are looking at Stahlhammer from Austria.

They also do a neat cover of a famous Pink Floyd song.
I like their sound, but I want something faster .....

 Subway to Sally

I have started my discovery of German underground music by listening to Subway to Sally. It is clear to me from the streets of Wuppertal that metal is big in Germany. I tried one song on youtube, because this band were described as Medieval metal, and this seemed interesting enough to try.
The video looks cool, but the sound is not so special, but perhaps I should try more than one track.



 OK, from the live video I can now hear why it is called Medieval metal. But is it prog?
I like these guys more now.

Soap&skin

I was listening to Tom Ravenscroft and he played a track by Soap&Skin. I thought it was pretty awesome. She sounds a bit like Nico. She comes from Austria I believe.



I thought I should explore German music a bit more. I should make it clear that I was thinking of exploring underground German music rather than Beethoven. I could be as cool as Julian Cope,
who wrote a book on Krautrock.

I had a look at the wikipedia page for German bands. Anyway it might make more interesting posts than how depressed I am.
