From Selters came Die Klopferbande. "Barbarism" was published in 1981 as a tape on Datenverarbeitung and certainly one of the best releases of the group. Some titles that are later appeared on „…Und Doch So Bezaubernd“ LP can also be found here already, but much rougher and more primitive versions. The New Wave Sound is still significantly influenced by punk, but they had already found their own style and is anything as a poor imitation. The lyrics describe a life in Germany in the early 80's and are rarely overtly political, but instead quite critical of society. Cinematically implemented would have to imagine as images of gray cement suburbs on cloudy, rainy fall days. Songs like "Das ist Rekord", "Karriere", "Lachen ist Gesund" or "Brauner Rhytmus" are small wave/punk hits. This awesome record was re-released in 2003 by Was Soll Das? Schallplatten and is limited to 150 copies.
mega geil!!!!!
