Kreisky is an Austrian rock band known for their gritty, often sardonic take on modern life and culture, conveyed through a sound that blends post-punk energy with noise rock and bristling indie sensibilities. Formed in the early 2000s, the band is named after the late Austrian chancellor Bruno Kreisky, and it has carved out a distinct place in the German-speaking music scene for their sharp lyrics and dissonant melodies.

Over the course of their career, Kreisky has gained a reputation for their thought-provoking and unapologetically direct style as reflected in their lyrical content. With albums such as "Meine Schuld, meine Schuld, meine große Schuld" and "Selbe Stadt, anderer Planet," the band dives deep into personal struggles and societal critiques, wrapped in a sonic veneer that ranges from stark minimalism to explosive cacophony. Their live album "Vor Publikum" captures the raw energy of their performances, revealing a band fully capable of engaging and challenging their audience with relentless instrumentation and enigmatic storytelling. Through their recent releases like "Was ist das für eine Welt" and "Atlantis," Kreisky continues to challenge listeners with their unique blend of social commentary and compelling rock music.
