Here it’s all about guitars, attitude and big-city melancholy. From David Bowie’s Berlin Trilogy and Die Ärzte to current underground bands like Die Verlierer, this selection celebrates rock from and about Berlin. Sometimes raw and dirty straight from the rehearsal room, sometimes artful and introspective, but always immediate. These albums were born between tower blocks, late-night kiosks and rehearsal spaces, capturing the city’s spirit between remnants of the Wall and smoky bars – without the usual techno clichés. Perfect for everyone who prefers to experience Berlin through an amp rather than from a viewing platform.
