Radio Havanna are one of the bands that are known for their great tour (matching the album release they are playing their 500th concert). However, they are also known as one of the most politically engaged bands in this country, who not only talk, but also do. Her fourth record represents just that: "Politics and Party," and pretty well. The album starts strong: The title song is not as fast as some other songs, but has a lot of power and tells the message the clear direction for this record. Similar in content to "Hooray the world goes under" by K.I.Z. After that, the up-tempo numbers like "Anti-Alles", "Früh oder Späti" and "Mein Name ist Mensch" stand out.

The absolute highlight is in my opinion the pre-single "fist up". Content has not changed so much, but that's good. On the one hand there are a lot of optimistic party songs, on the other hand sympathetic stories like "love of hate" and in addition also political things, which put the finger exactly in the wounds, which hurt particularly. Racism, homophobia and turbo-capitalism: there's a song to each theme, unlike many other bands that casually mention such things to avoid stupidity - Radio Havana was and remains authentic and genuine.

The songs are, as briefly mentioned, different, without falling too much out of line. Still, it's nice to see that both the slightly slower numbers like "Houston" and the fast ones work well. Of course, one or the other complains that the production is very smooth and some chorus something of the dead pants reminds. There will be voices saying that the music is too mainstream. This is understandable somewhere, but I do not care, because the songs have an important message and the entire album is more determined than its predecessors - it's just fun to listen to and has a lot of hits (*Review by Marcel ).
