Music Band Beatsteaks express defiance towards critics with the statement: "Curs the nay-sayers"
In the heart of Berlin, a city that has long been synonymous with music and culture, Beatsteaks continue to hold their ground as the most significant rock band. Over three decades since their formation in 1995, the punk group has remained a vibrant and essential part of the city's musical landscape.
The latest notable achievement of this Berlin institution is the release of their ninth studio album, titled "Please". This album, which follows a near seven-year gap since their previous studio album "Yours" (2017), showcases a fresh, energetic, and vibrant sound that reflects their artistic evolution and personal life changes over the years.
"Please" is described as "zappelig" (fidgety/energetic) and "always a bit too much," highlighting its youthful, pulsating, and demanding nature filled with electrifying tension[2]. The album retains the Beatsteaks' signature intensity and roughness, while demonstrating their vitality with tracks like 'Against all Logic', 'The Lunatics', 'Magic Feel'[2].
The Beatsteaks have also covered a Fun Boy Three classic on "Please," titled 'The Lunatics'. This cover showcases the band's ability to adapt to different genres while maintaining their unique style.
As the Beatsteaks gear up for their extensive tour in 2025, they are set to perform at notable venues such as Schüür Luzern in Switzerland (scheduled for September 27, 2025)[1] and Inselpark Arena Hamburg (scheduled for October 9, 2025)[2]. Their live performances continue to attract significant attention, with supportive acts like Mord Fuzztang joining them on tour.
Despite their longevity, the Beatsteaks' spirit remains unchanged. Known for their vigor and love for the streets, the band continues to be deeply rooted in Berlin's culture. Their music, much like the city itself, is raw, energetic, and unapologetic.
In a defiant outcry, Arnim Teutoburg-Weiß, the lead vocalist, sings "Fuck the detractors" on the second track of "Please," embodying the band's enduring spirit and refusal to be tamed[1]. This song, much like the album as a whole, is a testament to the Beatsteaks' resilience and their undying passion for music.
With "Please" set for release on June 28, Beatsteaks are poised to continue their reign as Berlin's most important rock band, offering their fans a fresh dose of their signature sound and energy.
