SUCK - Ribbit - LP

Debut album by the punk rock quintet Suck from Kassel. After their successful "Frog" EP (2019) and numerous concerts, the long-awaited debut album now follows.

"Do you know Suck?" "Yeah, I really had to see them live!" That's pretty much how the conversations go when you ask around in the punk-informed part of the circle of friends. At least in Berlin and the surrounding area, where for some their first musical contact was at the Berghain Kantine supporting Amyl and The Sniffers, whose 2019 tour was supported by Suck.

Not an easy position to be in - and because they impressed there, the punk band from Kassel left a lasting impression. Which in a text like this inevitably leads to the question: Is it actually a curse or a blessing for the promotion of a debut album to be a fantastic live band? Instead of an extensive, finely chiseled, cultural journalistic answer, we recommend simply turning up the opener "Rip It".

Reviews
"The fact that the quartet nevertheless always sounds like a single entity shows that they may be making infantile music here, but with an understanding of their own sound that goes far beyond a debut album." (VISIONS, October 2022)
