SUBHUMANS IN THE BTF CHECK
SUBHUMANS not only helped write the anarcho and peace punk history, they helped bring it to life. With the English there is a good dose of cult on the pitch! Here are the answers from singer Dick to her BTF check.
How do you introduce yourself to us?
This is a completely new festival for us and we come with no expectations. We hope it's as good as most punk festivals.
What did punk mean to you these days?
Openness, lasting friendships, tension and powerful music.
What do you love most about punk rock?
All of the above. In addition, this always the same effect that it has on people, which is why punk is so lively even after 40 years,
Why are political statements still important in punk rock today?
Because politics not only affects our daily life in the society we live in, but also how we interact with one another. In addition, everything we do is somehow political and is reflected in our behavior and attitude. The power that politicians have (supported by business, banks and the media) means that we have to be aware of their actions and react accordingly, even if we hate politics. In addition, we always have to find ways of living together that cannot be influenced by these people. DIY punk is a good example of this. No value is placed on the great coal or other capitalist values. Instead, for example, cooperations take place here. Punk is a music scene that is much more political than others because, unlike others, it questions reality far more often than others.

SVETLANAS IN THE BTF CHECK
Who is Henry Rollins?
We're told Olga acts like Henry Rollins on stage. This means Henry Rollins is the male Olga. Logical, right?
How important are your texts to you?
We express ourselves through punk music. Without a doubt, texts are very important to us. But the band's concept is the intense stage show. In this way we try to convey a clear message.
What is there to say about Russia?
It is a very beautiful country.
Please finish the sentence: Playing in this band means......working hard and kicking ass every fucking day. This is just great.

SOCIAL ENEMIES IN BTF-CHECK
Here the festival opener SOCIAL ENEMIES with their check. So don't forget to be there on time on Thursdays.
Which machine do you not want to be part of?
We do not want to belong to the greedy and externally determined masses who dutifully do what is prescribed for them. We are motivated to question the social conditions and to go our own way, as a social enemy.
Try to describe in a few words what it is like to be a social enemy.
Being a social enemy means living in a self-determined manner and still questioning one's own actions, standing up for solidarity with one another and still finding the sore points of humanity and drilling into them through our texts in order to identify and name social problems.
What is important for you at a gig?
We want people to have a cool time, treat each other with respect and enjoy the music. And when one or the other person is stimulated to think through our music and shakes the dance floor, then it was a terrific gig for us.

DSH IN BTF-CHECK
DEEP SHINING HIGH are putting the lid on the festival this year. Then read her check and stay awake until the last volume.
You are from Dresden, how often have you been a guest at the BTF?
Of course, this varies internally. The maximum was probably seven times! And a visit to the festival goes to our singer with his old band “Drunken Bastards” in a Wolfgang Petry costume. Luckily I (Felix) wasn't there, haha!
What makes punk rock still distinctive in 2019 compared to other styles of music - not just purely musically?
Okay, in a nutshell: Punk is still about taking matters into your own hands. The scene thrives on D.I.Y. - by the people for the people. That's why people aren't unattainable stars, but people like you and me. It's friendly, has character and has given the kids the impulse to "learn" instruments and form bands from the very beginning. It's not magic and everyone can become part of it and, above all, everyone can have a say in the discursive negotiation process of the self-image of "punk". That's another thing I love about punk rock. It's a great springboard because you're given all the freedom and you decide what you do with it and how you define "punk" for yourself. It starts with the style of music and ends with your own life plan. And don't forget to fuck off!
Who has the most beautiful bathing boxes for the forest pool?
Now I'm wondering, isn't there nudism?
Beheader or ass bomb?
Ass bomb! But naked so that the water goes up to the brain. Should help against dehydration every morning!
Finally, a quick joke.
You would have to be an archaeologist. It doesn't bother anyone if you come to the office with a skull.

Totally crazy, completely unbelievable...
...simply unbelievable, we managed the totally impossible, the local heroes from Pott come over to us and play! When you can breathe again, here is your check:
When would it be time for some new songs again?
There are always new songs coming out, just not from the local heroes...
Suddenly and unexpectedly you are there again. How do you put your joy into words?
It cannot be put into words, you can only see it on site. So, buy all the tickets and watch the locals rejoice!
When breathing at rest, an average lung breathes half a liter. How many liters do you do exercises for before going on stage?
200ml.
How do you people from the Ruhr area describe the BTF?
A bit like Teletubby - Land, only with beer and punk rock. So everyone is happily walking around, the sun is shining, and at the end everyone is screaming: "Ooohh... again, again"! You can't escape the charm of it all.
