Collaps are a German melodic street punk/oi! band formed in 2022. This here is their second album that came out in late April. Their first record, Executor came out in 2023 on Mendeku Diskak. Musically it falls close to fellow German punk band Oxymoron. Both bands play melodic, hard hitting punk anthems with some mean, rousing hooks. But Collaps throw in a pinch of Motorhead and a dash of Cocksparrer in the mix to make sure the roof of your house gets thoroughly blown off!
Getting Used To The Dirt houses 11 stellar street anthems about living in a world that is quickly being shrouded in darkness. The first song "Cokehead Politics" paints the picture of a society in chaos and our hypocritical leaders seem to either do nothing or turn their backs completely on their people, further driving the nails into the coffin of society. Some of the other songs like "You Don't Get Shit", "Grinding", and "I Think We're Fucked" paint a picture of class separation becoming such a great divide that it is now so massive, it may be irreparable. The working class is being told to hold the world up while the rich find new and creative ways to spit their wealth in our sweat soaked faces. Collaps are a band that sound like they feel this first hand.
The second half of the record we get some real stunners like "Away From You", "Grey Man" and "Hostile Ground" which talk about those that have turned their backs on their own people and shout hate and rhetoric nobody wants to be around, the kind that slowly kills the human spirit. Those that have sold their souls for money, power, greed or whatever other evil. Probably my favorite song on the last half of the record is a tune called "A Future" which throws down the gauntlet and declares war. We need, and deserve a better future than the one that's headed our way. We'll be taking control by any means necessary and righting the ship into strady waters.
