DIE RADIERER - Angriff Auf's Schlaraffenland EP 1980

A quick look at the D-punk section and here it is. Released on the newly formed Hamburg Zick Zack label in 1980 this record come along with four minimalistic oblique goodies and for me are the Radierer one of the better ZickZack bands, the label is known for a lot of scrap music I think and I can't understand why a lot of people spent a lot of cash for their releases... Na scheiß was drauf! Die Radierer from Limburg play indeed no backwoods redneck punk, but oblique avantgarde music full dadaist subversive humor like a football team that comes from the province and then suggests the domestic stars. Musically they already belong to the label but they different from the most because their music is more catchy and more melodic. This band knows exactly what they doing: comics, cuteness, silliness and drastic stylistic devices and are expressions of a deliberately chosen language of art. With Angriff Auf's Schlaraffenland they made definitely a small cult hit and is always in their live repertoire on the list. They toured in 2012 through Germany and maybe new recordings will follow.
