PRE-ORDER: Release 28.02.25
2005 – 2025 It's 20 years of The Offenders!!
It's a STORM OVER THE MAINLAND!!
The 10th album celebrates 20 years of Offenders with 12 new songs that delivered it's blending all influences Offenders had over the years : from the stomping offbeat of “Partizani in Budapest” to the mandolin punk rock of “Off my chest” – from the ska-punk of “The way the people think” to the guitar riff anthem of “Sixteenth Round”.
All straight in the face, kick-ass sound, unique and blended as it's been proved release after release, ready for the new chorus to singalong or the next dance floor hit!
Since their real beginning Offenders supported and keep on supporting antifascist and antiracist youth clubs, squats, football groups all over Europe and abroad.
Their message is clear and of course can still be found in the new songs:
A party song like "Partizani in Budapest", which seems to be boozy at first glance, turns out to be a rebellious resistance song against the annual, so-called "day of honor" state parade, which is dominated by Hungarian right-wing extremists.
“The way the people think” talking about the raise of right wing populism in Germany – always mixing social criticism to private issues and life experience as can be heard in “The Breach" or “Off my chest”.
The Offenders are by no means a fun band, even if their music has a lot to offer.
Maybe that's what makes their success, credibility and steadily growing popularity for 20 years: "Storm over the mainland" is an album as it should be for an anniversary. Here's to the next 20 years of Offenders, cheers & ciao!
