Friss oder stirb (Single)On February 9, "Friss oder Stirb" has been released, a CD with four loud songs some of which the Hosen had already played live during their latest shows in Argentina. This record was not intended as an appetiser for any future albums, but stands completely by itself. "Friss oder Stirb" is the title song of the new 12" that features four new tracks and might even count as a mini album. The three bonus tracks are "Goodbye Garageland", "Lebt wohl & danke sehr" and "Wir sind das Volk". Friends of the classical Hosen-sound will certainly be pleased because these tracks are rough and really go for it. Campino: "I have the feeling that this record is very well-rounded. And I am very pleased that it’s not just one hit and three B-sides, but four tracks that are absolutely on a par. We simply recorded what we were working at in the rehearsals. And I have the feeling that now is not the time for being contemplative." When it comes to the lyrics, the maxi single takes a harsh look at the current situation in Germany and there is also another highlight: “Goodbye Garageland” is an homage to the late Joe Strummer, legendary singer of English band The Clash, who died last year. The lyrics for this song, which contains quotes from old Clash-classics, were written by Campino, Vom and Matt Dangerfield (The Boys). As such, this song presents the first co-operation of this kind by the "British section" of the band. Campino: "Joe Strummer was one of the true heroes. He didn’t have to toady to anyone or hold one to the Zeitgeist of the good old days. It was great fun writing this song because Vom finally had the chance to participate in writing the lyrics of a song. We spent two wonderful afternoons together, with proper English tea and biscuits...". Watch the video online!Here is where you can see our video clip to the current single "Friss oder Stirb".
