Utopia Now - Sisyphus' Pain

Stephan's project from Germany has turned out another masterpiece with a light punk anthem and lyrics that are rich with metaphoric riddles that are no doubt the definition of intellectually pleasing. I can guarentee you that Utopia Now will make you not only want to rock out but reach for your dictionary all at once!
He has a style very similar to Punk Rock band Bad Religion from LA.

Yes, definitely a good punk band. It is a shame of what has become of what was once good mainstream punk.

Hey folks, just in case anyone cares, I (the guy behind Utopia Now) have recorded a new album that's now swirling around out there on countless blogs. Juts google Utopia Now Man in the Mirror, and you'll find plenty of blogs to download it from (for free). Enjoy!

Someone mentioned this band on a Bad Religion video and it DOES sound just like BR and even the singer sounds like Greg Graffin! I LIKE!

@Hupsibasse Graffin must have been talking about Todd Rundgren's band Utopia. He grew up listening to Todd Rundgren's music.

The thee part harmonies (oozin' ahh's) are most prominent in their newer stuff - post 1998 I would say. It's sad because I know this artist has made many attempts to get signed and repeatedly failed which is most probably a sign that the music scene doesn't want stuff like this anymore.

Yeah, I agree it IS very similar to BR, again not necessarily a bad thing and punk isn't exactly a genre known for it's complexity or musical diversity. I think this sounds "softer" than Bad Religion, a little smoother, maybe it's just that the guy's voice isn't as rough and deep as Graffin's. I've also been on a stint of older BR, HCHBAW?-Generator so maybe that's something. I also think the oohzin ahhs are more pronounced in this than most BR. Still (too?) similar but still good.

[Iamkl132]

Very true, perhaps it is just a little too like Bad Religion though? Probably why I like it so much!

Thanks so much! I visited his myspace/facebook page. I'm even more impressed that this is the product of one guy! Just awesome! I'm glad to hear something  from the more intellectual side of the DIY scene.
