German punk band Love Forty Down is set to release their latest EP, Don't Be A Stranger, on March 18 via SBÄM Records. The band has currently shared a new single called "German Angst," which also features a guest appearance from Vuki (Hell and Back).
Via statement, the band shares some background about "German Angst," which we've also embedded below:
For this song we used the famous quote from Yoda (from Star Wars): "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate and hate leads to suffering". Well, he is right about that. It is, in fact, a very real chain of emotions that runs constantly in people's brains. Right-wing politicians use this phenomenon to get voters to listen to their propaganda and follow their agenda. They invent facts (e.g. that immigrants are destroying our culture) that scare people and wait for the chain reaction - very simple, but very effective. Germany has a long history with this. It's all the more amazing that it's still so common that we've called it.
