OFFENSIVE HERBST 87 - OH 87 2LP 2004

Now very good early German Punkrock and we visit the province and end up in Verden, from there came Offensive Herbst 87, a three piece which existed only about three years and consisted of Rüdiger & Günter (vocals), Günter & Micha (guitar/bass), Rüdiger (drums). A rather under-appreciated band and never achieved the prominence of others at the time, but at least they made it onto the first Soundtracks Zum Untergang compilation and that means a lot. Two 7Inches and a few other sampler contributions are the legacy, and Phonomenal Schallplatten changed that eighteen years ago in form of this wonderful double album. Forty-eight crackers from various sources (demos, studio & live) from 1981-1982 await you, including a live set in a good sound quality that shows the band much more rougher than in the studio. Everything in a decent presentation, with all song infos, a small bio and lots of interesting pictures. A good history lesson from people who taught themselves Punk and are therefore inimitably authentic. Brilliant Stuff!

  1. Brilliant Stuff, indeed! Die deutsche Punkszene zu dieser Zeit war wirklich unglaublich) Und die Soundtracks zum Untergang waren meine ersten Punk Scheiben. Ich weiss nicht mal mehr warum ich sie mir damals gekauft habe (Metalhead...) Ich habe sie immer und immer wieder gehört))
