Do you know the band Isolation Berlin from Berlin, Germany?
The four-piece German indie rock band has been called one of the "Best New German Bands" and has garnered a lot of attention. The four-piece band's music is post-punk reminiscent of Joy Division and The Smiths, psychedelic noise rock reminiscent of Sonic Youth and Primal Scream, and shoegaze and 60's beats/chansons, topped with lyrics that capture the emotions of love, loss, and other feelings that everyone has. The lyrics are piled on top of songs that incorporate shoegaze and 60's beats/chanson, and grab the hearts of listeners.
Their debut album "Und aus den Wolken tropft die Zeit" in 2016 and their second album "Vergifte dich" released in February 2018 both topped the German charts. the lead single "Kicks" from the second album The lead single from the second album, "Kicks," reached #3 on the German collegiate charts, making them a force to be reckoned with in the German music scene. The band's live shows in Berlin, their home city, have been attended by over 1,300 people, and the band has been well received as a live band.
The video has a very "British" feel to it. . I can see why it is called the German version of Joy Division x The Smith.
Their long-awaited first Japan tour will take place in Tokyo and Osaka in February .
The Tokyo show will feature Luby Sparks, DJs TAISHI IWAMI and eliy(TAWINGS), and the Osaka show will feature And Summer Club, DJs Seiji Nakashima(Alffo Records) and Takeru Murata1TP13 TSchool In London) will be performing.
Other events will be held on the same day as the live concert in Tokyo and the night before the live concert in Osaka, so if you are interested, please check below.
A hot German band coming from Berlin, where music in all its layers is thriving and the free and creative atmosphere of the art scene is exciting , live. Don't miss it!
