My Ruin

OK Nein from Berlin is a five-piece band made up of members who’ve all played in various other projects. Musically, you can’t miss the influence of their previous bands — Grizou, Ein Gutes Pferd, Francesco, and Loveburgers — nor the echoes of ’80s pop, ’90s punk, emo, and hardcore.

“The sound and lyrics don’t drag you down — they uplift, empower, and give you a moment to pause, reflect, and then move forward with fresh energy. Instantly, certain lines and phrases stick in your head and on your lips, and I find myself humming them out into the world.”

And if you’re not screaming “Bitte bitte definier mir Punk!” along with Wüste Mensch, then honestly — do you even have a soul?
