Best Albums of 2011: Beatsteaks - Boombox


This German band isn't really famous outside of Europe even though they formed in 1995. It is shame though because these punk rockers know how to make good energic music. Their seventh album Boombox isn't exception. In compare to their previous records, this one is little slower, but it still kicks some serious ass.

What I like about this record is its overall sound. Especially third song - "Cheap Comments". It is catchy and raw at the same time and what I like the most about it is Arnim's singing. In fact, his charisma is present in every song on this record and it is probably one of main factors of their music.

I think that this band is underrated and I don't know why. They play music like million other bands, but you can hear right away it's Beatsteaks. You can't make a mistake because they have unique, great style. If you haven't heard them, it is worth checking them out.
