The Base – High time For Panicking

”Everything is out of control / from melting pots to melting poles” – the 2024 album by Graz-based rock trio The Base gives our maltreated world a worn and ugly shine.  It starts with the crude intensity of a dark, earthy field holler.  In a field holler, slaves, prisoners or forced labourers shout and repeat words and sentences to each other, setting the rhythm for work – and for survival. Sing or die!  “Everything falls apart / and everyone is acting smart” Norbert Wally and his two henchmen start their torture de force in the deep south, in the primordial soup of rock’n’roll, in the deep swampland of the Delta blues.  But The Base are far from digging a blues record out of the mud and the muck. “It’s All Going South” is more inspired by bands like Fun Lovin’ Criminals, The Clash or Pixies.
