Pabst - This Is Normal Now (2025)

“Pabst are a Berlin trio who play a fierce mix of grunge, punk and garage rock — loud and always preferably live, in a sweaty room packed with people.
After relentless touring, countless festivals and support shows in 2018 and 2019 for Hüsker Dü’s Bob Mould, Leoniden, or Kadavar — among other declared fans of the band — the band was ready to take on Europe themselves, but were stopped by… you ‘know. That thing. Now they are back with their new record and ready to take over European stages again. Now is the time for Pabst to take the bull by the horns and bring their irresistible hyper-rock to global audiences.

The new record has already received praise from the press, entered the official German charts at No. 18 and helped the band sell out shows on their headline tour through Europe with pals snake eyes and Beach Riot. In the U.K. multiple tracks have been played on the BBC by a host who got in touch with the band directly through their instagram. Listen. Fall in love. Simple.”
