Teenage Bottle Rocket - American Deutsch BagTeenage Bottlerocket – American Deutsch Bag

Over the past few years Teenage Bottlerockets have quickly become one of my favourite punk rock bands and at the moment they are really flying the flag for Fat Wreck Chords as the band are forever on tour and releasing music and now they are set to release a new 7” titled ‘American Deutsch Bag’ which see’s the band unleash their finest German lingo whilst also telling stories of their time touring in Germany and also finishing up the EP with a cover of their dear friend Tony Sly’s ‘Via Munich’.

The 7” opens with "Ich bin Ausländer und Spreche Nicht Gut Deutsch” and the song is a slow paced pop-punk track and it is great to hear Teenage Bottlerocket do something they haven’t done before a sing a song in German, the song is a cover song and pretty much about touring in Germany where your German language skills suck, the song is fun and I can easily see this becoming a fan favourite with their fans of Germany.

‘I’m The One Smoking Marijuana Motherfucker’ is a brand new song and it is a short but fast song about smoking reefer and it really is a short but sweet song clocking in at 1 minute and 1 second and in that time Teenage Bottlerocket really manage to shred some energy as they really go for it unleashing their well known and loved punk sound.

‘Via Munich’ is a cover of the late Tony Sly song and it is a fantastic cover and great Tribute from Teenage Bottlerocket to their friend Tony Sly and is also featured on the recently released Tony Sly tribute album.

American Deutsch Bag is a short but fun release from Teenage Bottlerocket it features 3 songs and runs for just over 3minutes and proves to be a good stop gap whilst waiting for the next Teenage Bottle Rocket album.

4/5
