„Wachät Uf“ is the second CD of this Swiss band from capital city Bern, who definitely deliver something unique, mixing Hardcore with provocative Hip-Hop vocals, in Swiss dialect. As the band points out, this new CD is on a new technical standard compared with the debut „Dräiät Dürä“, and the sound is indeed great, cool riffs, the vocals are a question of taste. The rap lyrics aren´t bad, but when singer Hak starts with growls even Swiss people won´t understand anything. Therefore, with some work on the vocals the third CD might make the break. Still, if you are looking for something special in some exotic language, like Swiss/Bern dialect, you gotta have this one.
