If you are down and depressed, here is the ultimate record for you to feel better. KONTRUST will surely conjure a smile on your face. This weird crossover style did also touch me, despite I normally do not like this kind of happy sound. You should be warned: because this kind of impelling music could cause heavy addiction!

The opener Sock’n’Doll is really totally daft, the mixture of yodeling, hefty guitars, slight trip-hop rhythms, a cool refrain and even Reggae interplays is irresistible!
Many hits to sing along will follow, whereby the felicitous balanced vocals must be mentioned, in addition to the well-dosed heaviness. Monkey Boy is one of those easy-going but not dull songs and your body will start to dance. Sometimes the tracks seem to be a little bit more complex, but nearly all tunes got the rhythm you have to teeter with. Rasputin appeals with Russian flair and releases some more brain cells, Bad Betrayer infatuates through alternating vocals and hit-appeal. Only two tracks, namely Adrenalin and Hocus Pocus, come across in slightly gobsmacked manner, but in all, the music freak will enjoy this record without limitations, preconditioned you like funny compositions.
Raise Me Up, Hey DJ! and Police form the concluding triple and eliminate the rest of countenance. In the end, you will have to struggle for your breath as well as accountability :)

In this acoustic mingle-mangle called Second Hand Wonderland you will find only First Class Entertainment, every party gets a decent kick of high spirits for sure! KONTRUST will temporary kause a kollective komplete loss of kontrol!
