OROHPACKZ - Ruhestörung 7'' 2018

Orohpackz is a band that came together in Berlin in the mid-eighties. Former members of the recently disbanded Deutsche Trinkerjugend decided to escape the boredom and founded Orohpackz. The band consists of Wolfgang (vocals), Köhler (guitars), Ralf (bass), Uwe (drums). They played a few concerts and finally recorded two songs that nobody outside of Berlin knew until six years ago. The renowned label Rotten Totten Records, which specializes in finding such valuable treasures, released these two nuggets in an edition of 100 copies (50 on yellow clear & 50 on purple vinyl) and put a little exclamation mark on the short-lived combo. Equipped with liner notes by bassist Ralf, this record is a beautiful thing.

THE NIKOTEENS - Aloah-Oehh! 1983

I thought the album was already on the blog, but I don't see it. And since I digitized their second LP today (Thx iNgo), it wasn't difficult to decide which post must now follow. Welcome to the debut by The Nikoteens. Formed as a trio mid-1979 in Ingolstadt and in March 1981, the first recordings were made in Berlin, which were intended for the Soundtracks Zum Untergang Sampler. However, the producer had a problem with the song "Bombs Over Russia", so the tapes were bought and the legendary first EP which was produced in-house. They expanded to a fourth member and released the Hardcore milestone Aloah-Oehh in 1983 on the obscure Rock-O-Rama label. The legendary "Skateboard Tape" then broke the speed barrier in 1984. The second LP "Hardcore Holocaust-Slamdance Party Vol.3" followed in 1986. After that, the band broke up. With new members, the drummer continued as Nikoteens for a while. This formation then released the underground hit "Leader Of The Rotten Corpse" on the Brain Attack EP. At the end of the 80s, the band was renamed "SHOTGUN". In 2002, the Nikoteens were revived in a large oxygen tent by a mad scientist. Since then, they have played various gigs as a trio again. The band was strongly motivated by the extremely positive response from old and new fans. At Christmas 2007, they went into the studio to record a few new songs and the whole thing was mixed in spring and on October 1, 2008, five useful ones appeared as the Full Speed Ahead 12Inch which released in a small edition of 300 hand-numbered copies. At the end of Summer 2010, a 4-song EP follows on Höhnie Records. And for the first time, the whole thing will be available digitally and the CD contains all the songs from the 12Inch and the yet-to-be-released Outsider EP newly remastered. Aloha-Oehh! is a small explosion, even if the recordings are typically creaky due to the unambitious producer, but it's definitely a milestone of the German Hardcore Underground Scene.

SPRINGTOIFEL - Tanz Der Teufel 1985

Now the debut by Springtoifel from Mainz on New Age Records. Founded in 1981, Springtoifel, whose founding members Olaf (vocals/organ) and Paule (bass) can still be found in the quintet's line-up today, was one of the very first German-speaking Oi-Punk bands ever. From the beginning, the band stood out clearly in the young Oi! scene with their then still quite exotic passion for ska, fluffy, offbeat hits with organ backing. Since then, the 'Mainzeldroogs' have not only stood for unforgettable, lively, first-class Punkrock sing-along anthems crowned by Olaf's roaring organ, but also for exotic musical quotes from completely foreign genres such as tango, bossa nova or even folk music, in addition to the obligatory brilliant ska songs. At a time when the music scene was dominated by New Wave, Punk and the emerging electronic music, the band managed to create a unique sound that combines both traditional and modern elements. The album is a fascinating work that takes listeners on a journey through various musical styles and themes, a remarkable example of the fusion of rock, folk and experimental music. The band combines catchy melodies with powerful guitar riffs and a driving rhythm. The use of traditional instruments, such as accordion and violin, gives the sound a folkloric touch, while the electric guitars and synthesizers underline the contemporary influence. This mix creates a dynamic soundscape that is both nostalgic and innovative. The lyrics are quite funny, sometimes poetic and invite interpretation. Themes such as love, loss, freedom and the fight against societal norms are treated in a way that is both personal and universal. The title track, "Tanz Der Teufel," is particularly notable as it offers a dark yet captivating narrative that draws the listener in. The imagery is powerful, creating an atmosphere that is both mystical and challenging. The production of the album is well done, with the sound being clear and balanced. The instruments are well-matched, and the vocals come through clearly. The mix of acoustic and electric elements is cleverly used to underline the different moods of the songs. The production reflects the experimental nature of the band and adds to the overall impact of the album. A review: ... the music and the feel, a strong early sing-song Oi! feel, like Sham 69 are both driving & passionate. Most of the stuff marches along at a good clip, both the harder thrash tunes and the slower bigger Punk sounds. (Dogtowne, MRR #40 • September 1986) This debut is an impressive record and leaves a strong first impression. Both thumbs up!

EA80 - 40 CD 2019

On the occasion of EA80’s 40th anniversary, this pretty, simple, homemade Compilation was released with rehearsal room recordings of seventeen Nuggets from the entire forty years, recorded exclusively for this bloody sucker. First sold for € 5-, at a gig in Recklinghausen, where the band announced that they would make copies for future shows and even mail orders upon request. Was bleibt? Vierzig offers a comprehensive overview of EA80’s musical creation and is interesting for everybody who doesn't drink non-alcoholic beer and still remains clear-headed. The Four are known for their melancholic and often dark sound and the songs are characterized by deep, often poetic lyrics and an intense atmosphere. The words often deal with personal and social themes, including isolation, alienation, loss and criticism of social ills. EA80 is known for their "Do It Yourself" mentality and made all independently of majors and take care of the production and distribution of their albums themselves. Over the years they have developed a cult status in the German underground. Despite their long existence and extensive discography, they remain a relatively unknown quantity in the mainstream, and that is excellent. Their live performances are also intense and energetic and usually take place in smaller, intimate venues, which creates a close connection with the audience. It may be that I'm always repeating myself when I post the Gladbacher, but that's just the way it is and I haven't heard a single shitty record from them. Sure, the old stuff is always my thing and I play it often, but it's always a highlight to unpack an EA80 record. Enjoy the little journey through time and play it loud!

DROOGIES - Remember 1989

Some re-upps switched and now a new post: The Droogies were a three piece from Reinfeld and consisted of Kai (vocals/guitars), Wolle (bass), Jan (drums) and this is their first full length, which came one year after the debut Sometimes EP, on Nuclear Blast. Remember (came also in limited blue & red shiny vinyl) is an album that combines the essence of raw sound with emotional lyrics and the three deliver a collection of fast as well as melodic gems. This gives the whole thing a hearty and honest touch that comes straight from the heart and accompanies the words perfectly. The guitars are loud, the bass is running and the drums are driving, and the vocals are passionate. Each song is full of energy and transports strong feelings of loss, fury and a bitter self-reflection, and choruses that stick in your head. The Droogies deliver a honest and authentic performance. Some listeners might find the album a bit monotonous, as many songs have a similar structure and style, but the clean production makes up for all that and never gets boring. A classic slab I think, and you will certainly appreciate it because it conveys feelings that we all know and no one is innocent. It's just a pity that the singer later developed right-wing tendencies, but apart from that the record fits well into this theater. See for yourself!

V/A - Keine Experimente! Vol. II 1984

It's time to relive the old days and the following Kompilation brings only positive memories back and it feels incredibly good to put this fucker out of sleep. This superb record from Weird System is an album that has caused a stir, especially in the German underground scene. This collection offers a more personal mix of relevant artists and is an absolute highlight. Just as the predecessor was a huge hit with more political stuff by essential German Punk bands, the second part is a perfect continuation and ensures a varied entertaining listening experience. Most of the beautys are only immortalized on this record and are real timeless classics that are now indispensable. Forty years have passed since then and I can look back and remember exactly how I felt at this time and how wonderful and carefree my life was, with less responsibility, fewer health issues, just living without thinking too much. And time wasn't important, now everything has become a little complicated and things have changed, not everything for the better, well, what can I say, I hate to repeat myself but getting old sucks. Overall, Keine Experimente! Vol.II is an exciting discovery that is recommended for old rockers and all newcomers who are interested in really good sounds. German craftsmanship!

TURBOSTAAT - Der Weiche Kern 7'' 2023

Turbostaat are currently on a small tour through Germany and are always happy to be guests in my house and since their ninth album will be released in January, here is a small, subtle preview of their latest 7Inch which was available exclusively in a bundle together with a tour ticket, a metal pin, a printed hard ticket of the venue and a tote bag. "Der Weiche Kern" is a cover version of the Gravenhurst song 'The Velvet Cell' and the lyrics talk about the protagonist's desire to understand murderers, which he feels he can only do by becoming one himself. He mentions that he doesn't actually like violence, but after tasting hate, he wants more. The song also highlights how there's a soft and vulnerable side to all people, and that this soft core is where the desire to kill may lurk, waiting for a trigger. - The five have long found inspiration in Gravenhurst's folk hymns: "We can't put our finger on exactly why we covered it. We've always been really enthusiastic about them. The mood and the harmonies, the sadness, the unassuming but determined nature. It felt like a part of us," says the band. After the release of this exclusive fucker follows a small Germany tour, meaning Turbostaat will be back on stage for the first time since a band member suffered a heart attack and subsequent emergency surgery and it wasn't clear whether the band would continue. The 7Inch was only available at the gigs in a limited edition. The flip has with 'Otto Muss Fallen' another rare goodie which was first brought on the Rare Tracks 2022 Compilation.

RESISTORS - Force Of Habit 7'' 1991

Long off the wanted list and now available: the second 7Inch by the Resistors, released via WeBite Records. "Force Of Habit" starts with powerful guitar riffs and energetic vocals that are immediately catchy and exude pure power. The song grabs you from the first second and kicks every fucking lame ass. The flip "Ride To Get You" follows seamlessly and brings a slightly calmer, more melodic note into play without losing any of its intensity. The driving drum playing plus the catchy chorus make the song a real insider tip. Overall, the guys are extremely versatile and you can't deny the fact that they are talented. A perfect mix of Punk and Rock that sounds cool, and not everyone can do.... and thus I disappear from the stage.

V/A - Positive Energie #2 2024

Well, Teddy was constantly urging me to finally create a sequel to Positive Energie and I finally gave in and wasted my valuable time on this and set out on the long journey to create a worthy second part.... and today after six years, dear friends, the time has come: Another example by interesting bands, this time looking a little bit beyond Germany to the rest of the continent where I live but remaining in Europe, a healthy mix of new Post-Punk and Punk sounds that deserve a mention because on the one hand they put a lot of effort and money into their records and on the other hand they conjure up dynamic songs from their repertoire that are driving and rousing in my opinion and I am overall very satisfied with this selection. Without the support of some dear friends this compilation wouldn't have been possible and my sincere thanks are lovingly mentioned in the booklet. If you are more interested in the bands' sound, check out the relevant sites on the internet and look for more information and records, it is a lively ride through new discoveries and passionate energy. And Teddy was right again, get off your ass and do something smart, it's never wrong to create something beautiful. With that in mind, enjoy this CD and maybe I'll see your Fucker here.

MEMENTO MORI - Travel Trash EP 1989

Finest rough fast trash is now in the house with Memento Mori, a four-piece metal-influenced HardcorePunk from Neuhofen (near Ludwigshafen) and consisted of Delle (vocals), Stock (guitar), Alex (bass), Michel (drums) and the band released five albums until 1994 which attracted little attention in the worldwide Punk landscape. After the break of Memento Mori, Die Wehrkraftzersetzer (WKZ) were reactivated, originally founded 1984, in which some members already played. Featured on several Compilations, one of them the brilliant Kulturschock Attacke #2 slab. Four good simple pieces on this little 45 and don't be surprised about the bad insert, unfortunately it's just as bad as it looks, it couldn't be better.

V/A - 14 Years Ago [Ex-WildDevilRules Compilation] 2010

This bloody Fucker, as the title suggests, is created when my old blog was still active and that time I posted it under a different name, now fourteen years later I've changed a few songs and think it's become a bit better (the back cover is still the old). There were too many D-bands on it Compilation what I had already forgotten is, there are a lot of cover versions of my favorite D-Punk band from Mönchengladbach on it. True followers of this Blog know which combo I'm talking about, but the name isn't mentioned. Those who guess it will get a washing machine for free, hehe..... Most of the songs were released in the Eighties and pressed on rare various Compis and 7Inches and all are fucking cool! It is a speciality of mine to immortalize the best of them on such useless crap that you then listen to in the car, train, plane or wherever to boost your self-confidence. Well, at least that's my reason for creating such musical delights, no profit, no self-indulgence, only for the passion of Punkrock, the attitude to life, and that's why I'm happy to share it with you. So dear ones, my plane leaves in four hours and I hope, I come back. Cheers!

MOLOTOW SODA - Keine Träume 1989

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!

URLAUB IM ROLLSTUHL - Totenkult 1988

Second and final album by U=IxR, better known as Urlaub Im Rollstuhl, on Junk Yard and like their debut Seveso Kids you can listen to fourteen fast and trashy DeutschPunkPogo numbers. There are certainly more interesting records with more sophistication and variety, but that you won't find here. Their lyrics are quite aggressive, simple and sometimes funny. And I must admit, when I was in financial difficulties many, many years ago, their records were the first that leave my collection. Well, certainly not a bad band, but in my watery grave I want to hear other music. Anyway, have a listen and check them out, featuring on numerous tape Compilations. I now switch on the TV and watching the DFB Cup!

V/A - 805 21 F 2xEP 1995

First post in August brings us a brilliant Compilation from Spock Productions and 500 copies of these two 45's were pressed and this release was a benefit for "Secours Populaire Français", a non profit organization which has been fighting against povertyall around the world since the end of World War II, and still is. I love these kind of records with international bands because, on the one hand, you can usually only hear them on these kind of Compilations and, on the other hand, I like to feel the vibes of these countries. And that's what happens here with twelve really good, varied songs. And I guess that's also the passion of the small label that has unfortunately only released about a dozen 7Inches, but each one is certainly a real gem. Well, it was fun to digitize them and there will be more material at the weekend, so stay tuned.

1.Stupid Story - D MAISONS 
2.You & I - TOSHIYUKI HIRAOKA
3.Sun Cold Day - F.V.K.
4.Collari - CRUNCH

ORGAN BANK - Sie Bringt Den Tod EP 1981

Nice litte three track EP on Tschugamuga Records by this short-lived four piece from Bremen called Organ Bank and members were Petra (vocals/sax), Tommy (guitars/vocals), Susanne (bass), Joe (drums). The band is mainly on numerous cassettes, all recorded in the early 80s and unfortunately not much of it pressed on vinyl, although their music is not bad at all. I don't know the tapes but here are three catchy NewWave goodies with a pinch of Punk pepper. They also got a worthy appearance on a Compilation of my favorite label from this Hansestadt named Heimat RecordsIs almost worth a gold medal...

IDIOTS - Emmy Oh Emmy EP 1986

Second release on Mülleimer Records by The Idiots who were founded 1978 and have been actively celebrating their PowerPunk in this country to date. They contributed greatly to the fusion of Punk/Hardcore and Metal in the mid-80s and were thus able to make a name for themselves and gained a lot of sympathy among the Punx with their light-hearted songs, not only in the Ruhrpott area, all over this country. They released their current album König Der Idioten last year on their own label and I'm sure there will be more to follow. The Idiots are a band that doesn't actively express itself politically but still makes people think and disrupts in their own way and that for over forty years, Chapeau! This EP has three cool tidbits parat, for anyone who wants to know.

SKI & DER REST - He's The One 7'' 1981

First 7Inch by the Munich New Wave Combo Ski & Der Rest on Lächerlich! Schallplatten with two homogeneous, warm-hearted songs, both pushed by the refreshingly driving sound, (the flip was later immortalized in another version on the Reifenwechsel Leicht Gemacht Compilation). These are my favorite recordings of the band; the sound is unadulterated, fresh and underlines the attractive, well-tempered charm of the young Eighties, when the air was still full of ideas and changes, and being active wasn't a strange thing... the music corresponded exactly this attitude of life and was an initial ignition for many, and quite a few fantastic bands gave free rein to their emotions and released records that nowadays highly sought after, the so called rarities. Too much shit is being produced these days that nobody wanna hear, the spirit is gone and Punk is socially acceptable. That's the way it is, my friends! But that doesn't matter. It's your heart that counts, not your wallet! - Ähhh, ja... nice Platte by the way!

RAZORS - Banned Punx 12'' 1982

Razors were part of the early Hamburg underground scene and Banned Punx is the fifth record on Konnekschen with five superb killers and they still damn gripping today and inspire with their rawness & aggressiveness - definitely a classic of German Punk and their origial records have been hard to get hold of anywhere these times. The band became known by its tracks on the Compilations Geräusche Für Die 80er and Soundtracks Zum Untergang, but in contrast to many of the other bands on it, had exclusively English lyrics and was otherwise strongly oriented towards UK sound. After a longer break and some line-up changes they reunited 2003 again and are still active today.

V/A - Attack Is Now Suicide 1988

A short appearance from me and in my mind is the next record, a fucking hot Compilation of the late Eighties and released in 1988 by the small but equally important German label Double A Records in collaboration with Americans from Phantom Records and is chock full of superb international Hardcore/Punk material with some exclusive highlights. US.Distress opens the musical ecstasy with an fucking energetic track and so it happens one after the other, short and intense songs (especially the Vatican Commandos & Dusk is a brilliant example with an unusual title and a rough sound and Dresden 45 contributes the longest track, which bears the band's name and creates a dark atmosphere). This beauty offers a diverse mix of aggressive and experimental sounds. Although not all tracks are equally strong, Attack Is Now Suicide is an interesting contemporary document of the Hardcore & Punk scene around the world of the late 1980s. The album also contains a folded insert with band photos and song lyrics which is not included within.

1.Who Possesses You? - U.S. DISTRESS
2.British Troops In Cyprus - SIC BOY FEDERATION
3.Housewives On Valium - VATICAN COMMANDOS & DUSK

DAILY TERROR - Gefühl & Härte 12'' 1985

 
With their third album, Daily Terror have reformed and moved away from aggressive D-Punk and don't hit any new formula with a new line-up, but rather changed their sound to more melodic songs which are more emotional but not a bit quieter: Gefühl & Härte (Feeling & Hardness). And that's exactly what is brilliantly implemented in the five songs and I like the record from the start. Pedder's voice is a bit muffled as usual and the lyric sheet is a big help. Released again on Aggressive Rockproduktionen (AGR) and I think they have proven once again with these recordings that they belong to the upper league of D-Punk and were incredibly important for the scene. At least for me they have given me a lot of good times and help me through dark phases that I had to overcome, and I will sell their records when I get Alzheimer. Daily Terror is always a good choice when you're feeling down and gives you much breathing room. Enough for today, let's go straight to Larz and watch the SGE versus Bayern (Hans, I haven't forgotten you). Enjoy!
