Rauchen is a German punk band known for their potent energy, uncompromising sound, and biting social commentary. While the group may fly under the radar of mainstream music, they have carved out a distinctive niche within the punk scene with their aggressive style and raw lyrics. Since their inception, Rauchen has focused on delivering punchy tracks that often critique societal structures, consumerism, and the mundane aspects of everyday life with a blend of irony and directness.

Since releasing "Tabakbörse," Rauchen has progressively honed their craft, leading to the creation of a series of EPs that showcase the band's ability to blend traditional punk elements with a modern edge. Their releases "EP I," "EP II," and "EP III" serve as a sequential testament to the band's evolution, characterized by fierce guitar riffs, driving rhythms, and a vocal delivery that ranges from shouts to melodic chants. With songs like "Nein" and "Gartenzwerge unter die Erde," Rauchen continues to capture the attention of punk aficionados looking for authentic voices within the genre. Meanwhile, tracks like "Gorillas" and "Jobcentermaßnahme" have solidified Rauchen's position as a band unafraid to tackle the stark realities faced by many, set against the backdrop of a society in flux.
