German trio PABST has returned with new track “Big Big Heart”, a collaboration with Brighton grit-pop duo snake eyes and the final single from their album ‘This is normal now’, released November 28, 2025 via Alcopop! Records and Ketchup Tracks. Following their collaboration on snake eyes track “Hug Me” earlier in 2025, the two bands reignite their friendship with this biting commentary on male hubris and manipulative behavior. The song fits seamlessly into PABST’s genre-bending carousel, revealing yet another facet to the band.
Reminiscent of the substance-fueled, arrogant stomp of Viagra Boys, British-tinged rave-rock flashes through the track’s robotic soundscape, as does its younger cousin, dance-punk, capturing the kinetic essence of both bands’ vibrant local music scenes. “Is rock’n’roll dead? Not as long as Pabst and Snake Eyes carry on!” the band declares. Snake eyes vocalist Jim Heffy adds his own enthusiasm: “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.”
One of Germany’s most exciting rock exports, PABST has over 200 shows under their belt to date. The Berlin trio boasts a Top 20-charting album in Germany, support from Daniel P Carter at BBC Radio 1, and tours across Europe with Billy Talent, The Beatsteaks, Bob Mould, snake eyes, and Beach Riot. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Magnus Wichmann at lala Studios in Leipzig, ‘This is normal now’ is unmistakably PABST at their most sharpened.
