Nach über 10 Jahren blickt die Band ZiRKA auf eine vielfältige musikalische Reise zurück – über Off-Beats, Ska bis zu Punkrock.
Nun führen die 5 Jungs das weiter, was schon immer im Herzen verankert war: Punk – Kompromisslos, ehrlich und hart.
Sei es emotionale Themen wie die Qual des alltäglichen Daseins, Gesellschaftskritik oder die Leiden der Welt – sie nehmen kein Blatt vor dem Mund. Der rohe Punkstil vermischt sich mit Ska-Elementen, die ihr musikalisches Dasein geprägt haben.
