"Abmeldung" (Cancellation Of Registration) was the final official release from the Hamburg four piece Oma Hans [Jens (vocals), Andreas (guitar), Peta (bass) and Armin (drums]. Shortly after this sucker, the legendary band disbanded. Originally released via Schiffen as limited edition. Oma Hans were founded 2001 when Dackelblut was finshed and stood apart from the classic, blunt style of German Punk. Their sound combined raw guitars with melancholic melodies and Rachut’s often angular, highly evocative lyrics. Another recurring element was the prominent lead vocals of Peta, which contrasted with Rachut’s characteristic spoken word vocal style. The band also attracted the attention of the music press due to a public feud centered on matters of substance with the Hamburg indie-pop band Kettcar. Triggered by a line in the Kettcar song "Skateboard," Oma Hans accused the band of political timidity and of merely maintaining the status quo. Oma Hans responded explicitly to this with the critical song "Gummiwände" on their final album whereupon Kettcar again on the B-side of their EP 48 Stunden with "Why actually indie charts, Digger?" answered. Anyway, Oma Hans produced two albums, a Mini 12Inch and this single and after disbanding, they merged into other projects.
