EMILS - Fight Together For... 1987

Founded in 1985 by Ille (vocals), Sven (bass) and Carsten (drums) and from Hamburg. The band began writing their own songs, but the band name was missing. Coincidentally, Oliver (joined the band soon) read the name of SLIME backwards and already had the name EMILS - so all the rumors Emils are Slime end here. In March 1987 appears the first demo which earned the band a deal with We Bite Records. In October they recorded their debut "Fight Together For..." in the Hildesheim Master Plan-studio. The Emils come with classic hardcore punk with a slight metal edge and german texts. Lyrically, they deal with topics like nazis, church, nuclear power, pseudos punks and what is crap and no one else really needs. 1998 the album was remastered and re-released with the 1987 demo included as bonus. Due to the re-release the band come back and played a few concerts until 2013, the year the decision was made to re-dissolve. Best Emils record for me and any time worth a listen.

EMILS - Demo '87 EP 2015

The Emils, Ille (vocals), Oliver (guitars), Sven (bass), Carsten (drums), have been influenced by American punk from the start. The band started to write their own songs straight away because, as already mentioned, they had already rejected the much-cited "musical horns" in local Hamburg punk bands. The musical & textual part gradually emerges, they decide to sing in German. So far nobody had tried to combine this musical style with German lyrics. The lyrics from the beginning still reveal a lot of naive and juvenile anger, which some critics of the band use to use this as a generally valid statement until the end. But what was still missing is a name for the baby. If you believe a legend, Olli reads the name Slime in some mangled toilet at a sink in a mirror, where Slime's writing was emblazoned upside down and comes up with Emils. Well, however, the only truth about this story is that Olli read the name the wrong way round. The Emils played live for the first time about 1 year after they got together on April 12th, 1986 in the kitchen of the then still occupied Hafenstrasse. They play where they can, including spontaneous practice room concerts that they have organized themselves. This great five song EP was released via Power It Up in coloured vinyl and limited to 100 copies and shows the energy and dynamic of their first recordings which was intensively continued on their great debut Fight Together For. Splendid German Hardcore.

V/A - Hamburg '88

The LP one's I had to sell due to lack of money and bought after a long time again. Well, sometimes the good things just come back to one, how life sometimes is. Only rare tracks on this compilation of good Hamburg bands right here at the start. The pretty cover of Billy Bragg's 'My Youngest Son' from Legendary Nice Boys (Slime members) is worth buying this record. But also the other bands here are very awesome and the sound range goes from '77 punk, hardcore to a little bit slightly metallic tunes (100% Diskretion). Ingeniously the three songs from Omicidio and I think these are the only cuts they made on vinyl. Would really like to hear more from them but found nothin'. Emils, C³I and Angeschissen, three awesome bands which you can grab also in this theatre. So finally, Punk in 1988 was a time of change with variable fresh sound and I can only highly recommend this record and I promise you will be thrilled.

1.Kicks - DESTINATION ZERO
2.Keine Antwort - C³I
3.Noiseless Scream - EMILS

SLIME - Live, Arena/Wien 1982

After listen to their debut album I became a punk because that was the sound I was looking for and suited me (my god, how long has it been). Vigorous political punkrock from Hamburg and their first five albums are all classics. Live an experience, energetic & aggressive. Had the opportunity in 1990 in Hamburg and the Fabrik's bursting at the seams, Pogo without end, my pants were totally torn and I have lost at least five pounds. The band was in top form and the crowd confirmed it with an incredible presence. One of the best and most fun concerts I have ever experienced.....unforgotten!!!!!! A litte bit info: Slime is a German punkrock band, founded in 1979 and disbanded in 1994. The pre-Slime band was called Screamer, and the post-Slime band is – contrary to the occasional rumors – not Emils (Slime backwards), but Rubberslime, with the member Elf. In 2010, the band reformed to play some concerts for their 30th anniversary. The band was founded by Michael "Elf" Mayer (guitar), Eddi Räther (bass) and Ball (Peter Wodok/drums). Some months later, Dirk "Dicken" Jora joined as vocalist. Christian Mevs joined the band in 1980 as second guitarist, and Ball left in 1981 and was replaced by Stephan Mahler. Slime were very influential to the German punk culture and their debut album was actually the first banned German punk album. They are often considered to be the prototypical German punk or Deutsch-Punk band. On 15.06.2012, the brand new album 'Sich Fügen Heißt Lügen' is released and in autumn they toured in Germany and Austria. This bootleg here has only classics on it, overall ca. forty-one minutes playin' time and the sound quality is in every way superb. And now: let's be live in Vienna!!!!!

V/A - Nazis Raus! 1991

More relevant than ever, see the current circumstances every Monday in Dresden, or remember this date 1938 in Nazi-Germany or the racist riots in Hoyerswerda in 1991. I can't understand how they can deal with such a stupid ideology that brought nothing except death and destruction. I guess it's easy to throw life away and lose dignity & respect when you only feel hatred. Life is not always easy but that excused nothing. The one-way thinking is modern and easy but to have an own opinion is really not hard. Maybe this compilation helps, released via Weird System, show nineteen bands that there is another way and encourage to think about yourself.... more relevant than ever!
