Captain Gips' self-titled album is a high-energy, politically charged punk rock masterpiece. The Berlin-based band's sound is raw and unapologetic, with gritty guitars and driving rhythms that keep the listener engaged from start to finish.
The album's lyrics are equally as powerful, addressing issues such as gentrification, police brutality, and social inequality with a fierce and unyielding passion. Captain Gips' vocals are forceful and emotive, delivering each message with a sense of urgency and conviction.
Throughout the album, the band's musical influences are evident, with nods to classic punk bands like The Clash and The Ramones, as well as more contemporary acts like Refused and Anti-Flag. However, Captain Gips manages to maintain a unique sound that is all their own.
Standout tracks on the album include "Klassenkampf", a blistering anthem that calls for revolution against the ruling class, and "Bullenwagen klaun", a catchy and upbeat track that criticizes police brutality and corruption.
