German trio PABST return with their new track “Big Big Heart,” a collaboration with Brighton grit pop duo snake eyes and the final single from their forthcoming album This is normal now, out November 28, 2025 via Alcopop! Records and Ketchup Tracks. The song follows their earlier team up on snake eyes’ “Hug Me” and delivers sharp commentary on male hubris and manipulative behavior. Blending fuzz, rave rock flashes and dance punk energy, the track adds another layer to PABST’s multi dimensional sound. “Is rock‘n‘roll dead? Not as long as Pabst and Snake Eyes carry on!” the band says. You can pre-save it here.
snake eyes vocalist Jim Heffy adds: “we love pabst and we love this tune. earlier this year we entertained the idea of doing a ‘response’ to ‘hug me’ where we jump on a pabst track. to finish our vocals in time for the deadline i had to set up a mini studio in a hotel room somewhere in america—baltimore i think? it probably annoyed the shit out of the other guests but totally worth it. the rock can’t be stopped.” The collaboration arrives as PABST continue to evolve their hyper rock identity with a decade of shows, festival appearances and international touring.
Their new album This is normal now, recorded, mixed and mastered by Magnus Wichmann at lala Studios, Leipzig, presents PABST at full sharpness. With praise from BBC R1, sold out shows and major festival slots from Rock am Ring to Sziget, the trio prepare to bring their sound to global audiences. The band launches their “Sorry For Hyper Rocking” headline tour in December, with more international dates to follow.
