The Shocks - Asexuell (2003)

Hey everybody. Today we're gonna take a trip to mid-2000s Germany for some crazy energy punk rock. 

I get a bit of a Buzzcocks vibe and love the surprise here around a minute and a half in as the song comes to a dead stop, the bass comes back in, and then boom - shredding time. Exquisite dynamics. Recommend at high volume.

For anyone interested the lyrics are translated from German below. 



I am sick of romance
Of all the shit that calls itself love
My condition is fantastic
If you go now and leave me alone
You ask me what I'm looking for
If I knew that, would it be there
A world full of something
I don't care about the main thing you're not there
I'd rather be there
Asexual
Better than the man in the box
I'd rather be there
Asexual
Better than the doll in the coffin

    Not gonna lie.. these guys kick ass. Definitely loving the hard-driving riffage. Straight, to-the-point and I do not give a fuck styles will always win me over. I will absolutely be digging further into the Shocks.
