Look who's back! Out on the forever legendary Alien Snatch Records, Palermo is the first new music from the mighty KÜKEN since KÜKEN III was released back in December of 2023. I've had the honor of touting the musical creations of Chris and Philipp for more than 26 years. And here they are in the year 2026 still smashing it up like their life depended on it. Palermo is vintage KÜKEN: four tracks of raw, thumping, and undeniably catchy punk rock that mercilessly clubs you over the head yet leaves you begging for more. These guys keep it simple as always, cranking the attitude and energy levels to ten and making sure to not cross the threshold of the two-minute song. And these tracks sound amazing, delivering exactly the sort of unbridled sonic ferocity that you would expect to emerge from a St. Pauli bunker. All four of these songs are grade-A rippers! As long as the wonder twins keep on making music, you can count on me to keep on writing about it. Daniel's remark in the liner notes about this EP being the first entry in everyone's best-of-2026 list is no joke. Maybe it's time for me to start my first draft!
