"Shitkatapult has snagged three songs for a 12" release which will almost immediately earn the respect of the directionless masses, late-punks, and post-ravers. Here we go with the funky aerobics for released reservists of the highest rank who fuse bodily conditioning with mental fixation. This happens before any visit is possible to the Portuguese street cafes of your given breakfast hood. 'Wir sind und wir bleiben die Unreparierten' merges two girls' silver voices with the unparticipatory tone of an automated subway intercom to the point where all waiting passengers are dancing in synch with the chorus line. 'Sturm brich los' comes as an electro-shock and whoever dared go near the EBM-niche of the early 90s will hear alarm bells ringing. Yup, it's all about a hi-tech cover version of the equally titled Tommi Stumpff piece from a 1991 LP Trivial Shock, which the former musician actually sees as his worst record. 'Gnadenlos' is yet another Stumpff text from the year 1989 which has breaking relevance in context with the forever-current 80s hype. 'Verkauf dich so schamlos wie noch nie' could be referencing the inflation-like relaunches of past heroes and anti-heroes insinuated as a self-ironic typical German synth-pop-dance-floor-smash-hit. "
