Founded 1988 in Friedrichshafen by Markus (vocals/bass), Joachim & Torsten (guitars), C.B. Wecker (drums), and Tiny Scars is the interesting debut of the Resistors and they don't just play simple music, they blend a healthy mix of Hardrock, Punk and a bit of metal into a decent sound. I know, I have their 7Inch Your Fascist Mind but can't find this sucker anymore and a rip as well, but that's not tragic because both songs are on this slab. Their songs sometimes reach a span of six minutes and captivate with their solid guitar playing and catchy melodies. They also have a certain personal sharpness in their lyrics and set all this compactly and dynamically and the four like to prove their musical skills in front of an enthusiastic audience. Two more albums followed until 1995, a few Compilation invitations, and since then they have only been on the road sporadically, as time permits. Very good record and I like it, not only short & dirty (I think, the album also caters for this faction) and for all, who would like to discover something 'different'. Tip!
- Great Thx to SiFi Punk -
Glad you enjoyed the album! I saw them live back in the day a few times. And like most punk bands, they were a million times better live than in the studio. Too bad they didn't find more success. I strongly recommend them for fans of Misfits, Danzig, Type O Negative, EA80 ... anyone who loves Punk and Goth!
ReplyDeletethe only thing I'm missing from the RESISTORS now is the "Force Of Habit / Ride To Get You" single https://www.discogs.com/master/515633-Resistors-Force-Of-Habit-Ride-To-Get-You
ReplyDelete... it came free with the album .... maybe somebody has it
buy it, it's not exactly expensive right now.
Deleteit is, if you no longer live in Germany ... lol ... It might only be $1, but shipping will be at least $30 .... for just 2 songs
DeleteWell, you have to move back to Germany 😉
DeleteGeil, die Scheibe such ich schon lange. Resistors waren bei uns im Süden legendär! Live war das ne gute Mischung aus Samhain und Misfits und viel schneller/punkiger als im Studio! Meine Platte kam damals mit nem Poster. Mich würde interessieren, ob das dein eigner Rip/Scan ist, weil ich das Cover mit orangener Schrift noch nie gesehen habe.
ReplyDeleteder file ist von SiFi Punk, das Cover hab ich orangisiert, hast du evtl. die "Force Of Habit" 7Inch?
Deletene, leider nicht! Meine Platte kam mit Poster u. T-Shirt aber ohne Single! Ich hatte die Single auf ner Kassette (von nem anderen Punker) und die war ehrlich gesagt genial (beide Lieder). Wär gut gewesen, wenn Subway die Single auf einer Neuauflage von Tiny Scars beigelegt hätte. Aber man kann nur träumen!
Deleteall right, kommt se auf die Wanted-List
DeleteAwesome! Thank you! Then you should also add Mädels No Mädels – Doggie Style to the list. I can't be the only one who bought the album back then. They must have sold at least 12 copies ... lol ...
Deletecoming soon, patience my friend!
DeleteWHAT?!?!? Don't tease me ... lol ... THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!!
DeleteHopefully also their first single: Heavy Mädels – Durchdrehn https://www.discogs.com/release/2425726-Heavy-Mädels-Durchdrehn ... Big Brother's Watching You ... great song
DeleteThis band is outstanding! Do you have anymore by them?
ReplyDeleteYep, coming soon
