DAILY TERROR - Aufrecht 1984

One more classic German punk record is this here and I would say one of the best & important German Punk band was Daily Terror from Braunschweig. I can only recommend to buy their first two albums wherever you find a copy. Both are milestones!! Powerful punk rock, catchy & briskly, excellent drumming, fat bass, snotty guitars and offensive lyrics against all odds. Despite the fast tempos and rough vocal delivery to be expected from a band of this type, Daily Terror are well capable of crafting a memorable tune, a feature that distinguishes them from many talented deutschpunk combos. Musical-craft impeccable raw politically minded musicians. Daily Terror was formed 1980 out from the punk band Bombed Bodies. Their first single was released at the Hannover label No Fun Records. The band moved to the Berlin label Aggressive Rock Produktionen (AGR) and in 1982 they released their brilliant debut LP "Schmutzige Zeiten" and they played on the Chaos-Tage in Hannover, which they earned a high popularity in the punk scene and quickly became one of Germany's most respected and popular bands. Two years later their second album "Aufrecht" followed. A few copies were released with a colored cover and a 12 page printed lyric booklet, goes without saying that these are highly sought after. Singer Pedder died in April 2009 after cancer, so R.I.P. my friend and thank you for your inspiration & great music.

V/A - Underground Hits 2 1983

Another classic Punk Compilation is this record and I found a good review so I can save any useless words: "In the early to mid 1980s, hardcore punk was on the rise and in some cases the records were selling in the thousands, especially the LPs. There was a whole slew of independent record distributors stocking this new exciting music and the records were finding their way into more and more stores. During this time, the German label Aggressive Rock Produktionen had the idea to start licensing some US hardcore records for release overseas in their home country in an effort to have the records available locally, and not as pricey imports. The label also did a pair of compilations called Underground Hits. Volume One had a pretty equal mix of US and German bands while this one, Volume Two, featured mostly US bands. What was unique about this one was that some of the tracks on here were exclusive to this comp and would be that way for years." - Thanks for this!

CANAL TERROR - Live In Bonn 1991

Now to a band, which I appreciate very much and support me in difficult times, then as now, with their great songs from Zu Spät, the only album by Canal Terror on Aggressive Rock Produktionen and in my opinion a real German Punk Nugget. So this fucking live album was recorded at "Schöne Bescherung" - Festival 26/12/1991 @ Biskuithalle/Bonn and line-up on this unforgettable evening were Tommy (vocals), Dominik (guitars), Volker (bass), Wolfgang (drums) and almost all hits were performed, including two tracks from the 2nd best German Sampler Soundtracks Zum Untergang 2, and all these are best ingredients for an entertaining and happy evening... I know that because I was able to see the band live, and the four on stage are no bores and I think, this beauty historical audio document comes across brilliantly into your house, everything else is seven of spades.

RAZZIA - Menschen Zu Wasser 1989

Next, another German Punk classic from a band which I appreciate very much and has been with me from the start of my punk life: Razzia from Hamburg. My first encounter with the band was in 1988, together with Bad Religion, a sweaty affair, YEAH! - Founded 1979 by brothers Andreas (guitar) and Peter Siegler (drums) and Rajas Thiele (vocals). Completed with Sören Callsen (bass) and Frank Endlich (guitar). They were not a purely politically motivated punk band like Slime and in their lyrics they were all kinds of grievances often quite dark and cynical formulated and very aggressively implemented by Rajas in the early years. In 1981, the band were with two pieces on the compilation Underground Hits on Aggressive Rock Produktionen. It was followed by an engagement with the Hamburg label Weird System, which also brought out the first album Tag Ohne Schatten. A brilliant D-Punk record. Atypical for punk bands in the mid 80s Razzia used keyboards in their songs and the result is quite superb. Th second album Ausflug Mit Franziska is the perfect example of their musical development & diversity. I bought this record at a concert in the HH/Fabrik in Altona in 1998. On the 3rd album the band is more experimental, electronic beats, spoken vocals ('Stahlherz') and also the synthesizer again targeted use. Together with the morbid typical lyrics and the unique voice of singer Rajas was made a dark, multi-layered album with threatening parts and a dense atmosphere but always offensive. With this album the musical development was promoted again, thus Razzia stood out from the more traditional German punk of the 80's. Released on the bands own label Triton is this one of my favourite Razzia albums. The band is still active and you shouldn't miss them on stage.

POPPERKLOPPER - Wir Sind Mehr EP 2019

Now to a band which was founded 1989 in Bollendorf, near Trier, and they keep, for over thirty years, the level high, with their refreshing music: Popperklopper is Carsten (vocals/guitar), Udo (bass), Lars (drums) and the guys have now perfected their own mix of German and English punk rock songs on nine albums + various singles/10 inches/samplers. In addition to the typical songs of the early days, which were strongly influenced by the old German political punk bands, more classic '77 numbers and occasional rock'n'roll elements were added over the years, which made the overall sound more varied and the band more interesting than many another 08/15 German punk bands. Therefore, the blinkers can confidently be pulled out and the stereotyped thinking can be switched off. The lyrics still predominantly denounce grievances and dubious developments in the selfish and consumer-hungry society. This EP was released via Aggressive Punk Produktionen in an edition of 300 copies and reflects exactly what the band is all about: Three times powerful, melodic punkrock with an unequivocal message.

- Great Thx to Fredrik -
