PLATZA - s/t 12'' 1982

Little to be learned about the following five from Zurich. Founded in the early Eighties by Ilia (vocals), Jörg (guitars), Wietn (bass), Urs (drums), Christoph (sax), the five individualists described their group Platza (1981-1982) as "a kind of bio-rhythm" and released in 1982 on R.F. Records their only record. Musically more towards PostPunk, the six songs are somewhere in the difficult catchy area and I can only listen to the slab at certain moments and presumably the Swisspunk scene at that time, which had excellent bands around, didn't have much access to this type of sound, especially the use of a saxophone creates goosebumps. And with the departure of the Düsseldorf bassist Wietn, there was no ground to continue. But for the great Definitiv Zürich compilation they got honored with a song.
