ZSK are a four piece hailing from Berlin Germany who formed back in 1997
and have spent most of there life in the band touring all over Europe
where they have played with the likes of Anti-Flag, The Distillers, U.S.
Bombs etc, which has helped the band grow a big fan base.
The album 'We Are the Kids' is a compilation of mainly English spoken
songs meant for the international market as most of the bands other releases
in there home country of Germany were German spoken songs.
From start to finish this album is fast, very melodic and the band seem
to be full of energy. The band are also very political, which seems to
be the topic of quite a lot of the songs on this album and in the booklet
of the album.
The album starts with 'Hello 1984' which is a fast, catchy song you will
find yourself bopping to. Next up is the album title track 'We Are The
Kids', which steps up the pace and catchiness even more. Its totally fast
and pure melodic with a few raw sounding vocal moments thrown in for good
measures. 'Keine Angst' is the first of the two German spoken songs on
the album, both these songs sound good even though you don’t really
know what there singing about but its good to hear a band singing in there
own language. 'Dare To Revolt' is the shortest track on the album running
at just 43 seconds and is a fast, raw sounding fuck you to the corporate
media.
One of the stand out tracks on the album for me is 'Fight For Me' which
starts with chants of "we've got to we've got to we've gotta fight
for more". The songs pretty raw with the odd fast catchy moment.
The other song that really stands out to me is 'Small Steps' as the band
seem to take a step back and mellow down a bit for a nice slow sing along
song.
The album finishes with 'One Day', which is a song about the crazy world
we live in and not wanting to start a war the song is fast and the lyrics
are straight to the point, a great finish to the album.
I really love this band there fast, energetic, melodic and have a mixture
of English sung and German sung songs and the album is full of songs about
police-brutality, poverty, war etc. I really hope this band stay around
for a long time as they have a good future ahead.
4/5
