I had the pleasure of seeing this band at Mr,beerys in Bethpage ny on april 26th it was their first time in USA too They were fucking Fantastic My Interview with them is this Friday at 8pm
Formed in 1996 in Herne, Germany, Überflüssig is a punk band that currently consists of only two members: Joscha Schmottlach on guitar and vocals, and Nik-Grau on drums. Their EP, Love, Peace, & Pleasure, might resonate with the history of their hometown, which suffered extensive bombardment during World War II due to its crucial coal and steel industries. These industries were integral to the Nazi military industrial complex, making Herne a target for Allied forces aiming to undermine Germany’s war effort. The EP’s title and artwork, while not directly referencing this history, allude to a possible reflection on the contrast between the city’s past and the ideals of love, peace, and pleasure.
