110 - s/t LP 1982

Now a real rarity by this early 80ies PunkRock combo from Hildesheim, Lower Saxony with their only album on Rillenschlange. 110 were Otto (vocals & guitars), Ulli (guitars) Ralle and Henning (bass), Markus (synth/piano/guitars), René (vocals & drums) and 110 is the emergency number in Germany (this only by the way). I can't remember how I came to this slab and unfortunately the band didn't reach the level of popularity at that time like other well-known German legends. Probably too intellectual and not so aggressive but lyrically they make very clear which side they stand on and criticize such topics as "be cool", "police actions", "press" or the sense of getting up early every fucking day, packed in catchy first-class melodic driving rhythm mid-tempo sound, really a fantastic record, even if you don't understand a word. On compilations only represented on the Wer Kriegt Das Noch Hin? cassette. It doesn't have always to be anarchy and beer, right!
