With only 15 seconds of music to the permanent guest at the Rock Am Ring - the skate-punk brainwash from Insert Coin from the Ruhr area reaches that far! Their trick: deliver the soundtrack for the Rockstar Energy Drink campaign with the straight, melodic hooks. The songs "A Lot? Not Enough" and "Bright Lit City" have been streamed in the millions since then, but with apparently only two meaningful tracks it should not remain! Since 2007 Insert Coin have already toured through Europe, have played over 300 shows (among others on the main stage of the Open Flair Festival and as support for bands like Anti-Flag, Pennywise, New Use For A Name, The Wonder Years, Red City Radio and Bouncing Souls) and their EP "Break The Silence" (2011) as well as the two albums "Heads Or Trails" (2013) and "The Story Of Hills & Sidewalks" (2015) - and also delivered the tracks "A Lot? Not Enough" and "Bright Lit City" is the soundtrack to the TV commercial for Rockstar Energy Drink, which has been successful for years and has been a Rock Am Ring guest since 2015. But that's not all: "Way Out" is in the house, their third longplayer now. From the original 90s influenced skate-punk, an independent, band typical sound has been raised to a new level by the cooperation with producer Olman Viper (KMPFSPRT, ZSK, Captain Planet, Montral, Emil Bulls and many more) on "Way Out". Insert Coin add a few powerful riffs to the Hook dictionary, keeping a distance from the predictable and thus providing surprising moments even for longtime genre fans. But you shouldn't leave it at the music, because the vocals weren't in the studio for nothing. "Way out" is different from its predecessors, deeper, more emotional - and more angry. The political dissatisfaction that the members have so far distinguished from their music has now become one of the main topics. Insert Coin settle with the rejection of same-sex marriage and fake news ("Donald"), but on "Sonora" deal equally with the death of a deceased friend. The most emotional song in their band history is a true soul striptease. "We all know the semicolon as a punctuation mark, which a writer commits if he could finish a sentence, but decides not to do it," Insert Coin says. "In the case of many people suffering from depression, you are the author yourself and the semicolon is your life, because you have decided to keep alive." The "Semicolon Project", which they now want to support, also deals with this topic. "With the song "Semicolon we still get goose bumps, because with our calculations about the project we have heard so many tragic stories that make your blood run cold in your veins. We feel obliged to draw attention to the topic of depression." "In times when, due to the political situation, rejection, illness or grief, a grey veil of anger and hatred covers your head, "Way Out" should be your way out to the sunny side. "We'll take you away and we'll eat life with the big trowel together."
