KONTROLLE (D)
KONTROLLE were founded in May 2017 and played their first show in September of the same year. They have now played around 100 shows, for example with EA80, Soviet Soviet, Horror Vacui, Fotocrime, Messer, Love A, Toxoplasma, Fliehende Stürme, Razzia and Pascow.
KONTROLLE from the Holy Goat Records Syndicate not only puts big feelings between cynicism and bad mood to music in a wonderfully compact way, but also in a way that is quite danceable. They deliver excellently performed wave/post-punk with a lot of middle fingers and a touch of melancholy or NDW from the anti-fascist Upside Down. With this soundtrack to the psychosocial post-apocalypse, even the next crisis of meaning feels really cool.
In September 2017, KONTROLLE released four songs recorded as a demo tape in the rehearsal room, in March 2019 they released an LP called “Egal” and in April 2020 songs from that demo, in new versions, including two remixes, released on Holy Goat Records. In June 2021 their second LP called “Zwei” came out, again on Holy Goat Records. Both LPs have been re-released.
The new album called “Grau” got released in September 27th, 2024 on Holy Goat Records.
KONTROLLE are up for it and are coming to your city too.
