BOXHAMSTERS - Wir Kinder Aus Bullerbü 1988

Stayin' still in the 80s and travel to 1988. 1988 was a good year, I quit my job, my girlfriend was cheating me, I bought the third EA80 record and met the Boxhamsters. An album that accompanied me since its appearance, the debut record from the Boxis, released 1988 on the band's own label Bad Moon Records. No idea why but for some time this record always buzzing around in my head, so I search for it and ripped it now. And while listening to all the wonderful memories come back, the gig here in KOZ, the wild ride to the Oettinger Villa in Darmstadt, where they played with EA80 and I remember I was sittin' in the backstage room and eat all the delicious salmon sandwiches and talked with the Mönchengladbach guys. Oh yes, those were the good times! Today I'm no longer very mobile because I have a job who calls me and my driving license is in Flensburg on vacation. But back to the album. With their debut, the Boxhamsters have delivered a masterpiece of German punk rock, at that time D-punk was somehow asleep and there was not much new or interesting. With their schrammel bumpy sound and brilliant personel lyrics, which are far from heroic or flat, they managed the leap to the forefront and most of the songs still belong in their live repertoire. No wonder why, songs like "In Dieser Zeit", "Verwirrt", "WoStehtDieUhr" plus the instrumental "Calzone Und Seine Killer" still sound fresh and not antiquated. - In 1991, singer Co, Drummer Ulf and Junge from EA80 formed the side project Die Böse Hand and they released several singles with mostly cover versions and a CD with all previous publications (coming soon). So enjoy this great album with twelve (+ the bonus CD track) punk goodies from Gießen's finest.
