Second vinyl and only 7Inch by Rotzkotz from Hanover (active 1977-1982) on Welt-Rekord. The band emerged in the late Seventies, made a significant contribution to the German Punk & New Wave scene with their album "Much Funny." However, as with many releases from this era, there are both positives and negatives. It is characterized by a raw, energetic sound, and the instrumentation is simple but effective, distorted guitar riffs, driving drum rhythms, and a concise bass create an atmosphere that invites you to sing along and dance, complemented by the direct and forthright vocals. However, one could criticize the lack of musical complexity in some places. The melodies are catchy but often predictable, which calls into question the longevity of the songs. The lyrics reflect the spirit of the time and address everyday problems and frustrations that we are all familiar with. Nevertheless, the lyrical content sometimes remains superficial and offers little deeper insight. One could argue that the band gets lost in clichés instead of offering new perspectives. Overall, this little sunshine is an interesting time capsule, and with its energy and attitude, Rotzkotz succeeds in conveying a message that remains relevant today. However, the piece lacks the musical depth and lyrical substance to make it a timeless work in the annals of music history. For fans, the single is certainly worth a look, while other listeners may not get their money's worth.
