Eight buckets of chicken hearts

Eight Buckets of Chicken Hearts from Germany is a half-acoustic nylon-string trio that combines the three music styles of powerviolence-folk, cacophony, and attachment anxiety into a blend that is definitely worth listening to. It's wandering guitar punk with fuzz and drive from Kreuzberg (near Berlin and Brandenburg) - made for the big, wide world. "Nothing is good and everything could be better." Bad-tempered yet optimistic, focused yet easily distracted, the Berlin trio Eight Buckets of Chicken Hearts seeks happiness on their fourth studio album "Songs" where it creaks in the nylon punk framework: in the dead end with a turning circle, in the short bright nights and the long dark days, at the edges of everyday life, where fragments of speech mourn and dance. The new long player comprises 14 montages that restart 15 times, take detours, move forward - and promise. Where "Songs" does not push, it is most urgent; where it rumbles, it is smooth; and where it is quiet, it becomes loud. After sold-out shows at the Wiener Rhiz (2022) and Flex Café (2023) and a wild party at Flex (2024), Eight Buckets of Chicken Hearts will return in 2025 to perform and have fun once again.
