SLUTS - Bäh!!! 1982

German Punk classic and one of my favorite: Braunschweig early 1980, three guys and one girl got together and decided from now on to make Krach! - the birth of Sluts: Schlampe on the mic, Pelle torments the guitar, Kat tugged on bass and Peter sat on the drums. The Berlin based label Aggressive Rockproduktionen (AGR) set with this release a high standard and "Bäh!!!" is a milestone of German Anarcho-Punkrock. This album is like a drug, don't get confused by all the wankers who criticize this album as a typical punk cliché. Short and concise songs with brilliant lyrics. Unfortunately, their only album with this line-up. When I rip the LP, I found this music lost none of its freshness, hardness and energy. And who listen to this record once stays forever punk & the feeling never goes out (I felt that with many records but this here is every time a blast!), and here I feel like going on the road and hit someone in the face, Streetfight...hell Yeah!!!! In the following two years, the band played several times in Braunschweig and environment, but the end was approaching rapidly and in 1982 Sluts disbanded. Schlampe and Peter joined in 1983 Aktive Notwehr, which were reactivated at this time. Pelle went to Heidelberg and founded 1986 Sluts new. To show that it's not the original band, the name has been attached with an N (new). Since then the band called SLUTS'N. Several years with several line-up changes followed, especially the singer changed frequently, only Pelle on guitar held by constant. Martin sit on the drums since 1988 and sits there even to this day. In this current triple-cast Sluts'N have played around 30 live gigs and released two 7inches and two albums. Overall, Bäh!!! is full of mid-to slow tempo numbers with good strong hooks. ESSENTIAL!!!!!!!!
