Step back to the early eighties in the Rust Belt of the Midwest, where underground newsletters and 'zines ignited a creative revolution. Amidst this explosion of American punk and experimental music, a band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, emerged with a groundbreaking sound. Die Kreuzen, a group that defied genre boundaries, fused punk and metal influences to create something entirely new.


Were they punk? Were they metal? Die Kreuzen recorded what fans and critics hail as a defining album of hardcore punk, only to reinvent their sound with each subsequent release. They toured the world, made little money, and eventually broke up. Yet, this seemingly brief stint in music history has rendered Die Kreuzen legendary. But why?


For the first time, band members Keith Brammer, Brian Egeness, Dan Kubinski, and Erik Tunison--alongside their friends, collaborators, and famous fans--reveal the inside story of Die Kreuzen.


This book features rare images and artwork, with contributions from music icons like Thurston Moore, Steve Albini, Neko Case, Lou Barlow, and more.


"They're a seminal band for me and they're on my list of things that just make me excited about music. I've never lost my appreciation for them, and I think the whole concept of not giving a fuck about what was going around them is what has preserved them for all these years. " Neko Case (Solo artist and founding member of New Pornographers)


"All bands have a lifespan and Die Kreuzen were lucky to have burned so brightly during their tenure." Steve Albini (Recording engineer and founding member of Big Black and Shellac)

Nice, convenient partition that absorbs sound
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
What stood out * Instant partition: This 3-panel foldable office partition helps to create quiet zones in a shared room, and it genuinely helped carve out a more focused space without a major renovation. The panels feel substantial yet easy to move thanks to the wheels, so I can roll them into position when I need privacy or a professional background for video meetings. I can fold them flat against a wall when I don’t nee them. The aluminum frame gives it enough rigidity to stay upright, and the gray finish is neutral. The height and width are generous for desktop setups, meetings, or study areas, and because it’s modular you can arrange it in L-shapes, straight lines, or even semi-circles. The mobility makes it flexible for dynamic spaces — roll it out for working hours, tuck it away after. * Sound insulation: It's heavy, which is better for sound isolation. The sound-dampening design isn’t miracle acoustic treatment, but it noticeably softens background chatter and echoes — enough to make video calls and focused work feel less disrupted. * Assembly is super easy, but I would recommend to have two people to make it easier. What to keep in mind * It’s not sound-proof like a built-in wall, so loud noises still carry; it’s best for softening ambient sounds, not blocking them completely. * The gray color is neutral, but if your room palette is bold you might want to accent with décor so it doesn’t look utilitarian. You can also tack posters and light pictures to the the gray frames. * It's pricey, but worth it in my opinion.

Decent dividers
Color: Grey
I think you will love these under the right circumstances. Number one the sound absorption is hard to describe because since the panels don't go to the roof sound can easily travel to the other so you and without being hindering but they do absorb sound to a certain extent. They also provide pretty good coverage for privacy in an office or dorm situation with ease. I wouldn't say it's easy to store but it does fold up pretty well and overall for the price it's an effective means of letting those around you know you need some peace. For the price it's a pretty good divider. It requires very little assembly and is relatively sturdy so all in all not a bad option. Until We Meet Again -Off The Grid Ken

Very functional, well made, and looks great!
Color: Grey
My wife and I both work from home but for different companies. We have separate office spaces but they are without a door between them. There are times when we both are on either voice or video calls when we can hear each other on the calls. Other times, I have to walk past her office space and behind her desk to get to other areas of the house. We really needed something to help block some of the ambient sound and to obscure me from her video calls when I'm going past to let the dogs out. These foldable partitions are a great solution for us. The wheels make them easy to move into place when needed, and to store away when they are not. The wheels also lock, making them stable where we set them. The assembly was easy and quick, with only the simplest of instructions needed. Assembly tools were even included. These are large and a bit heavy for one person to move before assembly, so get the wheels on them for easier movement. I've researched how much these can cost new from the commercial office suppliers, and these are a good value.

Instant Privacy With a Professional Look
Color: Grey
I needed a flexible solution for a shared office space, and this foldable partition worked better than expected. Setup was straightforward, and the wheels make it easy to move around without scratching the floor. It noticeably reduces noise and distractions, which helped my focus more than I anticipated. The gray color and aluminum frame look clean and professional, not temporary or flimsy. It’s not fully soundproof, but it definitely softens background noise. Storage is easy since it folds up neatly when not in use. For home or office use, it’s practical and well designed.
