Music on the Beach: Punk Picnic in Hallstatt
The "Punk Picnic" is going into the sixth round! This time at the start "Da Schneida", "Cromulents" (Streetpunk with our gin), "Missbrauch" from Munich and "VACUNT" from Linz. And now more information about the bands...
Da Schneida
Actually known as the drummer in Wham BAM Bodyslam or as the bassist in Roy Loidl and His Baconhunters, Schneida is not so clumsy on the guitar. For 30 years he has been writing his own songs <but life and death, but have only been performed live since 2025. One-man acoustic dialect punk rock with pans from life. A guitar, a voice, raw and no frills
Cromulents
Cromulents is a streetpunk trio founded in 2021 from the heart of the Austrian Alps -Hallstatt/Ebensee. Honest street punk is played with clearly anti-fascist lyrics, but also their passion for the so-called "drinking class" is part of the songs with the anthemic riffs that are guaranteed to stick in the ear. The release of their debut 12 inch "Concrete World" on Thrashout Records in 2023 and the accompanying promo tour have left a strong impression beyond the country's borders. The band has already played concerts in Austria, Germany, the Czech Republic, Holland and Belgium. Among others, as support for scene greats such as The Oppressed, The Drowns, Los Fastidios, Oxo86 and many more.

Vacunt
Vacuntxxx from Linz have been playing HC/Punk since 2001 regardless of losses and pigeonholes. Experienced a lot, but still there. Leisurely output (3xLP, 1x10", 1x 7", 1x Split-7"), great live intensity. Last record: "The Impregnable Wall" (10", 2021). In 2026, the 25th anniversary is coming up and new material is being worked on again. Vacunt: Still fucking the fakes after all these years!
"Vacunt is another gem... speedy hardcore and early-80s minded" (Thrasher Magazine, 2014)
"For me the absolute new discovery (why only now?) were the Austrians of Vacunt." (awayfromlife.com, 2021)
"Bands like Vacunt are captivating because it is difficult to classify them in a certain category, they don't serve clichés. An exceptional band that you ideally allow yourself live every now and then - only then do you realize the relevance of such calibers." (Chelsea's Choice Magazine, 2017)
"The last true punk band of Europe!" (D. Vacuum Cleaner – Anstalt/Boogie Hammer, 2018)
"One of the worst results ever! .. I would never have booked like that." (Othmar Bajlicz – Chelsea Vienna, 2014)
Abuse
Since our beginnings in the 90s until today, we as a band with the name have been about provocation. Provocation as a request to always look at things from (at least) two sides. The invitation to unpleasant but bitterly necessary discourse. Talk to us. Talk to each other. Also about our band name. This opens up topics, clarifies,
