there's a broad variety of things that influence us in making music. basically everything that gets you thinking, one way or the other. books can be a huge influence, as well as that record of that band one of us is currently listening none stop to, or even things like watching landscapes passing by through the window on a train ride. simple things.
especially considering music we highly appreciate bands and people who have dedicated themselves to the diy spirit. we prefer putting our hearts in what we do, instead of worrying about profits, image, target-audiences and other shit like that. and we like people who share this opinion.

you might find us somewhere between PROPAGANDHI's hardcore punk, quieter passages of HOT WATER MUSIC, and the experiments of AT THE DRIVE-IN. maybe.
soey is a collective of punkrock musicians settled around the city of wiener neustadt in eastern austria. picking up the most fundamental of all punk-ethics, unconventionality, we try to play music that is energetic without bending down in front of pointlessness and dogmatism, considering both, music and lyrics. this is what we’re all about, this is what makes and keeps music exciting: creativity and content. challenging expectations. travelling and meeting people and friends. having fun.
if you had to describe our music you might probably get the best match by “melodic punk with post hardcore influences”. think of building on a base of melodic hardcorepunk by the likes of old rise against or propagandhi extended with some posthardcore and experimentalism.
this is not some sort of purchased fashionable rebellion. there is no need for alternative music, when the only things that are delivered are conservative ideas and a consumption-based lifestyle. we see ourselvess as part of the anti-sexist, gay-positive, anti-fascist, animal-friendly and ecological-sustainable movement.
we played lots of shows in austria, some in slovenia, the netherlands, switzerland and hungary so far. more to come.
our debut full length record rush hour in phanton city is out now via laserlife records. we love playing shows always and anywhere and we love to communicate, so don't hesitate to get in touch.
