RAZORS - 1977 EP 2004

Formed 1977 in Hamburg, the Razors are a german punk band from the first hour. With interruptions and changes in the composition the band is still active. Feller, God & Schwabe began together in the summer of 1977 continue under the influence of the emerging wave of punk music. Till May 1978 they rehearsed without a singer. With Danker was a singer found. He stayed only three days to rehearse the set until the first real concert. This took place during the Grünspan-concert series in Hamburg. The Razors were now actively contributing to the environment of the Krawall 2000, one of the important early punk stores in Hamburg. There they played regularly. Their debut single 'Christ Child/Enemy' appeared in 1979 of the band itself was produced and distributed. The next two releases were published by the Cologne label Rock-O-Rama. 1981 the band broke the contract with Rock-O-Rama and changed to Konnekschen for two publications. The singer left the band to henceforth take care of his children and Lui from Napalm took the vocals for some concerts. The Razors remained in this formation. The band broke up soon after on lack of perspective. 2003 its the reunion of the band and in 2004 this single was released with new footage on Klartext Records. Guitarist Andreas Schwabe died in December 2010 a few weeks after his 50th birthday. At his funeral, the Band Napalm plays a reunion concert. The Razors stand for brilliant '77 style punkrock and they not lost after twenty years their aggressiveness and power. Great record!
