When Waving The Guns give concerts, the lyrical range varies from consciously blunt to unpretentiously profound. A WTG show is never monotonous or arbitrary, but has its own musical and thematic dramaturgy. When it comes to live abilities, no one needs to hide. Humor is always present, sometimes more and sometimes less subtle. Comments and thoughts on current events are conveyed with a battle-rap attitude, and even though the political stance is always clear, wit and entertainment are always the top priority. Apparent boundaries through distinctions are shattered when WTG unites their diverse audience in enthusiasm for the band. No one should feel too secure about not becoming the target of a jab, as crowd-pleasing also includes a wink and a nod to self-deprecation. Everyone should let their guard down, but no one is allowed to become intellectually lazy.

The Rostock-based group has built a stable fanbase over more than ten years, without sudden hype or musical flash-in-the-pan trends, and for many people, they play an important role in musical-political socialization. Instead of resting on their laurels, they continuously develop their project organically, without wanting to forcefully do anything differently. Down-to-earthness, without getting stuck, attitude and self-confidence without self-aggrandizement, articulate criticism that does not shy away from itself, and a palpable love for the cause – WTG is the masked antithesis to the hubris of the fast-paced music business.
