Debil

Die Ärzte

A bratty, high-energy debut of German punk. It balances surf-rock twang and horror-themed satire with the band's signature melodic vocal harmonies.

Find on Amazon

The funniest, brattiest punk record to ever come out of Berlin.

Bratty, irreverent energy that masks surprisingly sophisticated melodic sensibilities.

The production is pushed notably harder into hand played than this artist usually allows.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The spaghetti western whistle and surf-rock twang that opens El Cattivo.
The jarring transition from a sweet violin melody to punk shouting in Kamelralley.
The unsettling, whispered lullaby delivery of Schlaflied that ends the album on a dark note.
