A real revelation is the debut of Molotow Soda on Day-Glo and the quartett has partly emerged from the ashes of the grandiose Canal Terror. A short bio of the beginning from their homepage: "In 1986, bassist Heiner from Bonn was offered the opportunity to appear on the Sampler Kulturschock Attacke 2 with a song from his band. The problem was that his band had just broken up. In order to take up the opportunity, he convinced musician friends to take part in the project and, together with Tommy (vocals), Volker (guitars) and Tommes (drums), the song “Just A Lie” was recorded in some semi-professional recording studio (actually it was more of a hobby cellar on the very edge of civilization). A little later, in a boozy gathering, the band name Molotow Soda was born, along with the drink of the same name (1 bottle of Blue Curacao, 1 bottle of eggnog, 1 bottle of rum and lots of lemon concentrate were mixed in a 5-liter canister) and, due to the pleasant “collaboration”, it was agreed that the band would continue." This album bites with every song and must infect everyone (if not, Fuck Off!), such fantastic lyrics (not nearly as obviously political as they were in the Canal Terror days, most of them still had a socially critical view), seventeen dynamic blasts and Tommy's characteristically distinctive voice is the crown to all and with a record like this, posting is fun again. Musically, they were clearly different from the rousing sound of most D-Punk bands at the time, they mastered their instruments excellently and remained true to the rough sound of the glory early days: hard & loud and always worth a visit live!
