stuttgart geh¥rt zwar nicht unbedingt zu den gr¥?ten st?dten in deutschland, aber mit sicherheit zu den sch¥nsten. au?erdem ist stuttgart das pflaster der vielleicht besten punk-, skin- und hardcoreszene in deutschland, bezogen auf den zusammenhalt und den antifaschistischen background. dar?ber hinaus ist stuttgart die heimat der freiboiter.
die band existiert bereits seit 1997. in der aktuellen besetzung seit 2001. der sound spiegelt alle m¥glichen einfl?sse wieder. punk, oi!, rock n roll, hardcore. nenn es einfach streetpunk, oder such dir selbst einen begriff aus. die teilweise politischen und sozialkritischen, aber auch ironischen und schlicht aus dem allt?glichen leben gegriffenen texte werden kombiniert mit treibenden riffs und eing?ngigen melodien.die produktion des albums ist der hammer 12 bzw. 14 richtig gute songs die es einem schwer machen nicht von anfang an mit zu gr¥hlen
denk ?ber die freiboiter was du willst. mit ihrer spielfreude und energie brauchen die f?nf jungs keinen vergleich zu scheuen. schon gar nicht mit irgendwelchen zweifelhaften, in die jahre gekommenen reunion-bands. dies wurde im in- und ausland, bei shows mit brigada flores magon, broilers, guerilla, heros & zeros, klasse kriminale, loikaemie, los fastidios, lurkers, lokalmatadore, miburo, the movement, oppressed, prowlers, peter and the test tube babies, sham 69, stage bottles, sidekick, subhumans, scrapy, u.k. subs, volxsturm etc. schon mehrfach unter beweis gestellt.
es w?re falsch die freiboiter als reine politische band zu bezeichnen, jedoch ist der begriff >antifascist oi!< nicht nur beiwerk, sondern fester bestandteil des selbstverst?ndnisses der band. das k¥nnen heutzutage wohl nur wenige bands aus dem so genannten streetpunk sektor von sich behaupten.gib ihnen etwas bier (besser nicht zu viel!), schn?r die stiefel und mach dich bereit f?r den sound aus motorcity stuttgart.

apendics.shuffle’s elegance & malice ep has been reworked by two great talent’s the master of minimalism thomas melchior & ransom note’s adultnapper, both artists have expressed there interpretations to the highest order. adultnapper has taken a darker path, raw & steady drums keep you grounded whilst disassembled voices and eary strings make you realize things are going to get weird. there is a constant hook in the background that sounds like the noise of a sleeping monster but as it gets louder you know it’s about to wake and it does, throwing you backwards in a totally different direction. melchior’s remix takes you on a different journey one that you never want to end. lush melodic sound’s and stunning percussion with deep soulful vocals keep growing and growing drawing you ever nearer all the time never letting you go.

a: tral 49 - a easy beat with good placed cheeping sounds and well-balanced grooves are the key elements of the track >tral 49<. after a dj friendly introduction gloominess and psyche meet each other and invite to dance as both complement each other in full harmony and build the peak to the basis. b 1: zwischenlandung is a minimal track which atmosphere bringsa convenient feeling. the track starts with an emotional bass line which makes space, in the continuing story line, for a melancholic melody which coherence and charm never gets lost. b 2: der kuss des drachen -the finish is a nice homage to all which prefer a more relaxed motion but don t want to start sleeping on the way. a grooving beat cooperates in effective harmony with a classic chinese stringed bowed instrument so that you don t want to stop to seesaw in the rhythm. the whole time short padding sounds build up and down without losing the red line or leaving space for boredom
