ProblemIsYou is a harcore punk band out of Hannover, Germany. The band members bring influences from theirprevious bands to the table. They played and play with the likes of BURNED OUT, GLASSES, CAVE CANEM, INFUAST, SUBSISTENCE and some others – compared to them the punkoppas are on the way to their peak. 8 songs of angry Hannover hardcore fury.

For those unfamiliar, LOW CULTURE features members of SHANG-A-LANG and MARKED MEN, and could be described as splitting the sonic difference between the 2. Scrappy, melodic, and somtimes jangly garagepunk that is fast, catchy, and high-energy –as-hell, but also maintains a thoughtful vibe throughout. Since releasing their debut LP, "Screens", which quickly sold out and was generally well-received by just about everyone, a lot of has been going on in LOW CULTURE's world. 3/4ths of the band has relocated from Las Cruces, NM to Portland, OR, with the 4/4th soon to follow. They've released 7”s on Dirtnap, Dead Broke, and La-Ti-Da Records. They found a new bass player in Chicago transplant Jay Castaldi (MOTO, Lynyrd’s Innards, more). ½ of the band has helped form killer local hardcore band MACHO BOYS. Singer/Guitarist Chris Mason has released tons of essential records on his great (and easy to confuse with Dirtnap!) Dirt Cult Records label.

Es sind diese grandiosen Melodien, die mich schon immer begeisterten. Ebenso die deutschsprachigen Texte, die Tiefgang besitzen und so cool formuliert sind, dass es schon fast lyrisch klingt. RASTA KNAST orientieren sich am schwedischen Punk von ASTA KASK, RADIOAKTIVA RÄKER und CHARTA 77.[...]
