I would say that the guys who follow now are pretty popular with you and your comments and downloads show that, so I think it's time for the self-released debut record by the Idiots from Dortmund. They started in 1978 with slow Oi! Punk which you can hear on this record very well, then developed into HardcorePunk in the mid Eighties. A review: "The Idiots are a primitive, alcohol-swigging bunch from Germany. They stumble between Oi-influenced sing-alongs (like the title cut) and sloppy, enjoyable thrashers (like “Edeka”), all the while preserving a sense of humor and fuzzy guitar backing." (Jeff Bale, MRR #17 • September 1984) His words sum it up perfectly and that's the great thing about the band, it's not about political crap or world-weariness but about everyday life and its challenges and the way they put that into their lyrics is simply remarkable. This is probably the reason why many appreciate and love this band so much. Unfortunately, I haven't seen them live yet, at least I think so, my memory is also a bit failing. Anyway, great record with 5 hits!
WOW! Thank you for another amazing upload! This EP is a Punk Masterpiece! Raw and hard, but also fun! I hope you share a few more of their early records like Stations or Cries!
ReplyDeleteThe Idiots habe ich schon ein paar Mal live gesehen. Live sind sie sogar noch besser. Die ersten paar Platten waren ausgezeichnet, v.a. Lieder wie Edeka und Tage Ohne Alkohol! Vielen Dank! Falls du noch mehr von denen hast, wär's toll, wenn du's hochladen könntest!
