4 Promille - Alte Schule

Band/artist - 4 Promille
Genre(s) - Oi!
Origin - Germany
Album - Alte Schule
Year of release - 2007

An oi! band formed by Volker Grüner after leaving rechtsrock band Störkraft out of ideological differences with the main lyricist. 4 Promille play alcoholic, diversified street rock with a good production and more room for the odd nostalgic touch than any other band in the skinhead scene that I know. Songs such as Ten and a Half about lost childhood or Die Nacht incorporate melodies that seem quite sad to me. Another thing that sets 4 Promille apart from their peers is their dual vocal duties: some songs are sung by a female singer whose name I can't find. The skinhead image may scare people away unnecessarily; if you like straightforward rock and roll music you will probably enjoy this disk. If you do, both their previous albums are just as recommended.
