Millarden is a German punk duo from Berlin. Their first EP is called “Kokain und Himbeereis”. Coming with four tracks this release is only available on Vinyl. All lyrics are in German.

Each of the four songs on this EP is catchy, powerful and perfect to shout along to. Milliarden are not holding back in what they have to say. “Die Freiheit is ne Hure” is the perfect song to turn into an anthem. The lyrics are very serious and deep, carrying pain and desperation. With an arrangement that leaves room for everyone to step in and be part of the song, feel it and step out of it stronger. “Kokain und Himbeereis” is a funnier and catchier song, a song you might even dance along to. The lyrics are not less serious but carry some humor. “Vergiss mich Nicht” is probably the saddest song on this EP. Telling a story of a broken heart, a broken world. A beautiful song. “Schall und Rauch” is picking up the beat again, catchier, with sad lyrics, and yet this song is carrying hope. Milliarden created a beautiful EP with “Kokain und Himbeereis”. Presenting their talent and keeping German punk rock alive. Some parts remind of Rio Reiser, a German legend when it comes to rock music with harsh lyrics. So “Kokain und Himbeereis” is a must have. Go get it now.
