YØR

YØR was a Hamburg, Germany based crust-grind quartet with a clear agenda; outspokenly anarchist, antifascist and intersectional feminist, they left no place for non-political, ultra-macho and frankly unsubstantial attitudes in the DIY music community. While not taking themselves too serious their lyrical themes ranged from deeply internal struggles over drug user’s rights to the absolute failure of radical leftwing communities to adequately address all forms of violence. Yet, their music was not just a creative output and personal catharsis, it is still a great joy to make an listen to. This was still a punk band, not bending to rules and norms from the music business and mainstream society. YØR was named after a character from Michael Ende’s “The Neverending Story”. Yor is the picture miner of Minroud, a mine from which he excavates dream pictures which make up the soil of the world, Fantastica. They disbanded in April 2023.
