V/A - Korn LIVE!!! Ab Geht Er 1982

Here's a famous live compilation and I'm glad I found this short info on discogs which I like to use here: "This is the first Korn sampler with only bands from Hannover/Germany and all recordings were taken live from the festival on the 21st of November 1981 in the UJZ Kornstraße ("unabhängiges Jugendzentrum", which means "independent youth center") with the exception of Kaltwetterfront. Kaltwetterfront made a recording available, which they did 3 month before in Austria from a cassette recorder. All songs were recorded from the Tonkoop-Hannover, which has their origin in the UJZ Kornstraße as well." The sound quality is consistently okay, each band give everything and I think this record is a brilliant cross-section that shows Hannover had some good bands. Pure Punk!!!

KALTWETTERFRONT - Inkubationszeit 1980

Kaltwetterfront was founded 1978 in Hanover. The first label catalog (April 1980) by NO FUN is to read: "Although created in the context of the New Wave, KWF never understood itself as a pure New Wave or Punk band." Thus, the band fitted excellently into the exciting and varied catalog from NoFun Records.

On their debut album, the band members were Asche (bass+vocals) Michel Von Eye (drums+vocals), Anna (vocals+organ) and Bernie (guitar+vocals). On offer, the quartet had a mixture of Punk and German rock, although due to the simplicity of the songwriting and the sound of the former style outweighs clearly. A lot of value put the band on - politically correct - lyrics with which the musically still very limited possibilities were something caught. Inkubationszeit was immediately obvious, of course, because of the theme photo that reminds a bit of Commune 1, but the music had it all in. Powerrock ala Ton Steine Scherben with a good shot of punk was the musical recipe.

After the debut, the main writer Bernie left the band and the previous drummer Micha Von Eye switched to the micro. New drummer became Thomas "Tier" Wolff from the Cretins and Blut+Eisen. In 1982 the second album "Wenn Kaputt, Dann Wir Spaß" was released by Frostschutz Records. Then the air was out and the band broke up. Represented on some compilations, the important ones: Hannover Fun Fun Fun and KORN Live!

Inkubationszeit is a thoroughly entertaining album, even if it moves musically in a very manageable framework and is also very much in the lyrics of the zeitgeist. Not timeless, but rather a snapshot from the Federal Republic Of Germany in the year 1980. But it is also a lot of fun, because you can not help but dive into this era, including all good and bad memories.

KALTWETTERFRONT - Wenn Kaputt-Dann Wir Spass 1982

I hope the Easter holidays are pleasant and you can relax and unwind from the drudgery of everyday life and enjoy some good music. Today I'm coming to a rare record that's not without interest. Not necessarily a Punk classic, but an important building block of the Hanover underground scene. After the debut Inkubationszeit lead singer Bernie left the band, and the previous drummer Micha, took the mic. Thomas "Tier" Wolff of the Cretins and Blut+Eisen became the new drummer, and the second and final album was finally released on Frostschutz Records and represents a significant step in the band's development. Musically, the album oscillates between Punk, NewWave, and Post-Punk, making it an interesting document of the early Eighties. Thirteen rough and unpolished songs with an energetic guitar riffs and driving rhythms. They shine with a variety of sound textures to convey their messages, with the use of synthesizers in some tracks adding a futuristic touch. Particularly noteworthy are the catchy melodies, which exude a certain optimism despite the often dark lyrics. The words are characterized by a mixture of irony and seriousness. Topics such as alienation, social norms, and dealing with one's own identity are addressed in a direct and often provocative way. The band manages to create a connection between personal experiences and social observations, making the lyrics both relatable and thought-provoking. It sounds very authentic and passionate, which is also reflected in the energy of the recordings. Overall, a very good record with catchy melodies and a valuable piece of German music history from the early rebel years.
