BETONTOD have announced their new single ‚Keep Calm And Carry On‘, taken from their forthcoming studio album ‚Wir fangen jetzt erst an!‘, due September 25, 2026. The accompanying music video premiered on YouTube, marking the second taste of what the band describe as the most emotional record of their 36-year career.BETONTOD, Germany’s long-serving street punk institution, are gearing up for the release of their new studio album ‚Wir fangen jetzt erst an!‘, scheduled for September 25, 2026, and have unveiled their latest single, ‚Keep Calm And Carry On‘, along with an official music video.
The track follows the previously released ‚All die schönen Menschen‘ and further illustrates the thematic direction of the new record. Written against the backdrop of turbulent times, ‚Keep Calm And Carry On‘ carries a message of resilience and solidarity — the idea that even at one’s lowest point, connection and love provide a way forward. It is a song that moves without looking back, driven by the forward momentum that has defined BETONTOD throughout their three-decade-plus existence.
The album title itself reads as both a declaration and a provocation. At a stage in a band’s career when greatest-hits tours would be the conventional route, BETONTOD are choosing the opposite path. ‚Wir fangen jetzt erst an!‘ translates roughly as ‚We Are Only Just Beginning,‘ and the band make clear that this is not a nostalgic exercise. Experience here becomes fuel rather than sentiment, and the result is described as the most emotionally exposed material BETONTOD have committed to record.
To support the album, BETONTOD have announced an extensive tour across Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Austria, running through October 2026, with special guests Rogers and Janiz appearing at selected dates. Tickets are available via the band’s official website.
