Hass was a German punk band from the North Rhine-Westphalian cities Marl and Recklinghausen, founded 1978 and thus one of the first German punk bands and in their lifespan they released eight albums and six singles (listen) before they broke up after their farewell album "Kacktus" in 2014. Hass were particularly known for their anti-fascist, anti-social stance which they always put in their songs. With their debut album “Hass Allein Genügt Nicht Mehr” set the band the bar very high and for me, still one of the best German punk records of all the time, aggressive music with words that spit into unscrupulous grimaces. Hate is strong as Love & the feeling is splendid implemented! They need seven years to publish their second album and this slab has thirteen hard and uncompromising songs with again direct words plus the fantastic cover.. a brilliant release. Shortly before German reunification, the band shows effective measures against prejudice-motivated people. HASS rules and I love them! By the way, the "Back To The Future" triology is genial.
