Free Music Friday: Praiser - Blessed Be the Punk

13 songs clocking in at 20 minutes. Yes, punk rock does still exist, even if it's only in Germany. Praiser is an old school hardcore punk band (think Minor Threat) from Germany and they're offering their new record Blessed Be The Punk for free. From their website:

PRAISER is the latest band started by AndrĂ© and Marcus from Hamburg, Germany, who played together in several hardcore groups like “Unreal” and “Preacher” since 1999. Their lyrics focus on Christ but they are also aware of topics like social injustice or political stuff which belongs to punk since its beginnings. As Christians they also find it important to question things, traditions, behavior within church or among Christians in general. Their sound is fierce old school Hardcore Punk with some more influences like metal, crustpunk and rock. Recommended for fans of: Bad Religion, Chain of Strength, Minor Threat, the Crucified, the Blamed, Crashdog

I'm a big fan of this album and you should be too. It even includes a cover of mewithoutYou's Allah Allah Allah.
