As We Go are a five-piece punkrock band from Cologne (Germany). Their latest LP is called Alan, and As We Go went fully DIY to record it. Job well done I’d say, even though the band may not exactly reinvent punk rock on Alan. Far from it actually. Palm muting? Check. Anthemic choruses? Check. But in all that familiarity, As We Go execute will full conviction and pull ahead of the pack. Part of that is the performance of singer Björn Masseck, who sounds like a less raspy, more melodic version of Chuck Ragan. On Alan, As We Go win you over song-by-song with their heartfelt melodic punkrock. Recommended if a mix of Hot Water Music and Samiam is up your sleeve.
Alan is out now and available through White Russian Records.
