Altschmerz roots are grounded in D.I.Y. punk culture and anarchist politics. There is no space for racism, fascism, antisemitism, Zionism, misogyny, queerphobia and transphobia. I encourage all edgy "a-political" listeners to read a book.
Love and rage

Altschmerz (German - old pain)
Accompanied by their octave mandolin, Altschmerz travels through the different stages of grief and disbelief. They will share their heart-wrenching story of isolation and estrangement. They scream their desperate cries into the void. Only the tedious humming of their doombox will leave the bystander more unease than the ear deafening silence they leave behind.
