Ja, Panik is back! While the last, experimental, exploratory pop album "Die Gruppe Ja, Panik" (2021), which meanders in many directions, marked her surprising comeback after a seven-year creative break, "Don't play with the rich kids" is now something of a return as a rock band. As the gang from Burgenland that has played its way into all of our hearts since "The Angst And The Money" (2009) at the latest. We see Stefan Pabst, Sebastian Janata, Laura Landergott and Andreas Spechtl on the cover - Photo gently wrapped in a cloth on the beach in nowhere. It holds the band together on the inside and at the same time shows a clear boundary on the outside: We are here, and you are there! And it seems almost impossible to get into this inner circle. More elegantly The problem of classism that is rampant worldwide can hardly be represented. It was probably brought along at some point. While Ja, Panik used to want to destroy the system from the inside again and again, with a lot of glam and joyfully performed auto-aggression, they still have their brand once thoroughly relaunched, to put it in the advertising speak of the 90s. Their nihilism made in Austria as a basic feeling is still an important brand core, but it is now presented in a much more reflective manner. And the now completely natural negotiation of one's own privileges seems to really inspire the band in their new songs. After all, these rich kids are themselves. This can be said with confidence. Of course, this definitely needs to be seen on a global scale. We all know what a four-piece, left-wing political indie rock band between Berlin and Vienna earns with their music. And even though, according to Spechtl, there are still “1,000 battles fighting in his body,” none of which he says he can ever win, his new role as a Zen rocker and self-proclaimed Kung Fu fighter seems to him surrounded by his old bandmates :inside very good to do in excellent shape. Well, many people her age now own a house in Brandenburg or a condominium in Berlin, but who can call themselves a member of the Yes, Panic group? Cultural capital that many people don't even dare to dream of.
