Toxpack
Aggressive Berlin streetcore that hits like a brick. Gritty vocals and heavy metal riffs meet the defiant spirit of classic Oi! for high-energy rebellion.

Formed in Berlin in 2001, Toxpack has become a cornerstone of the German 'Streetcore' scene, a subgenre they helped define by merging street punk (Oi!) with hard rock and hardcore influences.
Their sound identity is built on the contrast between Schulle's raspy, aggressive vocals and a dual-guitar attack that often leans into heavy metal territory. Over a career spanning two decades, they have evolved from a raw underground punk act into a chart-topping force in the German rock landscape, particularly with later releases like 'Schall und Rausch' and 'Zwanzig. Tausend. Volt.' Their cultural position is rooted in the working-class identity of Berlin, often addressing themes of loyalty, social struggle, and urban life. Critically, they are respected for maintaining their 'street' credibility while achieving commercial success, bridging the gap between the DIY punk scene and major rock festivals. They are frequently associated with peers like Krawallbrüder and Troopers, forming a distinct lineage of German-language aggressive rock that prioritizes anthemic power and lyrical directness.
