There’s always a release or two every year that you stumble across just in time for it make onto those end-of-year lists. In 2023 that band was Saufknast from Hamburg and Kiel. Their 8-track demo came out on a tape from Flennen all the way back in April but really makes me think back on other German punk bands like Benzin. Tantalisingly called EP I, I’m sitting here wondering when the second one will appear. Let’s hope it’s soon and in the meantime you can still purchase this tape.
