Two years after their great debut, the second album followed on We Bite Records with thirteen cool goodies with again sharp & nippy lyrics plus fast music. Schliessmuskel is, I think, a splendid band name, but transported the four immediately into the Fun-Punk category, which they always rejected for good reason. "Their songs are mostly between one and two minutes long and present the band from their funny and crazy side nad the songs gives you a peculiar, sick mood, which is reinforced by the rarely life-affirming lyrics. Humor is an integral part of the four. Although their understandable words regularly speak of self-doubt and fears - or gloomy, grotesque stories are told, her simple rhymes almost never lack a portion of irony or comedy." I recommend the CD Compilation 1986-89 which contains their first EP plus both albums, a brutal explosion of blood, sweat and Punkrock. Weekend rings!
Genius band!!!! Saw them live a couple of times! I bought the CD version back then even though I had both albums just to get the Komm, Setz Dich Zu Uns EP, which is magnificent!!!
