V/A - Sicher Gibt Es Bessere Zeiten, Doch Diese War Die Unsere #2 1992

Höhnie Records released in collaboration with Nasty Vinyl the second part of this fantastic mini-series with lots of unreleased material by bands from the former German Democratic Republic (the word Democratic was an absolute joke)The LP version was limited to 2000 pieces and came with a nice A5 booklet with lots of infos about the participants and this file is the CD with bonus tracks. As before on Volume 1, the song selection is again extremely decent and the recordings have a much better quality, I can't tell what years they're from but that doesn't really matter. Fact is, living as Punkrocker in this fucking system was anything but easy and this is clearly reflected in the lyrics of the bands and anyone who lived in the 'free' world can hardly imagine with all the reprisals to be faced be, locked up and living like in jail - the so called "Iron Curtain" - just terrible and it shows once again what people are capable of. We don't need systems that tell us who we are and what we have to do, Fuck You! Live your life how you see fit and don't let the Bastards fool you. By the way, this sucker was re-released in 2002, partially on colored vinyl. And now.... breakfast.

PARANOIA - 1984 [2020]

Now a DDR legend from Dresden with old original recordings and for the first time on vinyl! Paranoia was founded in Dresden in 1982 and consisted of Fleck (vocals), Olaf (guitars), Jörg (bass), Oliver (drums) and quickly became the focus of the small underground scene in Dresden and played concerts throughout the GDR. The group maintained contact with the west punkscene through fanzines and letters. In December 1984 they recorded the Here We Are for Everyone Who Needs A Cult Band tape and a friend from Bremen spread the demo in her city. One copy also came to Weird System, but they refused to sell the sixty minute tape due to the quality of the sound. Further demos and live recordings were made, which were distributed in the GDR scene via tape trading. 

In 1948 George Orwell completed his novel "1984". An impressive work, which is fascinating and frighteningly outlines the emergence of a totalitarian state structure. The sole ruler rules omnipresent "Big Brother" through total surveillance, manipulation, disinformation, monopoly on force & true to its proclamations: War means peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength. Orwell's novel had a long history in what was then the GDR oppressive reflection found in reality.  Conditions as described by Orwell half a century ago long before the era of the so-called "other bands" were the breeding ground for bands like Namenlos, Schleim-Keim or Paranoia. These groups radically expose theirs of anger, dissatisfaction and a hopeless message was transformed into rough and unpolished punk music with the same texts. Things were called by their name in an unadorned and uncompromising way. Soon followed by fines for appearing without permission to play and an operational process by the Stasi, which took place in 1985 the imprisonment of two band members led to the "smashing of the illegal band Paranoia". Some members then founded the band Kaltfront, whose repertoire still includes some Paranoia songs.

"From the original tapes were seventeen best pieces selected and re-mastered and released in 2007, of course in an authentic and usable sound (not for high-tech cyberpunx). The album title "1984" consciously connects the band biography with Orwell's novel, and unfortunately that makes more sense today than ever."

V/A - Sicher Gibt Es Bessere Zeiten, Doch Diese War Die Unsere 1991

After the historic fall of the Berlin Wall, numerous treasures of east German punk stuff came to light and many bands whose protests/concerts took place secretly in cellars or churches could finally press their music with their own attitude and thoughts without fear on vinyl, and publish with much support of interested western labels. I can imagine how hard it must have been to function as an outlaw in a totalitarian state, where all move in lockstep and saw their fulfillment in the Blue Shirt club...terribly. I think Höhnie Records was the first label which bring us East German punk closer with this little compilation series, this slab is limited to 2000 pieces and all tracks were recorded between 1984-1991, and there are seven issues in total. So again a long day ends with lots of music and now enjoy the rest of Sunday with it.

MÜLLSTATION & DOG FOOD FIVE - Split LP 1998

Schlemihl Records released this proper record in a limited of 1000 hand-numbered copies with eight rare songs from Müllstation and Dog Food Five. Müllstation is a punk band from Eisleben in Saxony-Anhalt and were founded in 1980 in the GDR and is now one of the longest active Punkbands in the East, members are Harty Sachse ("Steve Aktiv", vocals) and Frank Baur (bass), at first the band used pots as drums and a homemade guitar. In 1982 the band met in front of the Palace of the Republic in East Berlin with two presenters from the NDR (Tim Renner and Thomas Meins) and these two took Müllstation and the band Menschrock for recordings to Hamburg and these were played on 20 September 1982 in the broadcast "Club" on NDR 2. Over the years they often played in the Christusgemeinde in Halle along with bands such as Schleim-Keim, Wutanfall, Größenwahn and Betonromanze. Susanne "Susi" Horn on bass as well as Volker Eschke and Mike Beelitz on guitars joined the band later. Resolution 1989 and Reunion in 1990, Frank Baur took over the guitar parts and Ralf "Ralle" Brauer came as new drummer, but was soon by Roy Hoffmann and finally in 1995 by Jürgen "Grahli" Grahl (previously at Abraum and NFP) replaced. At the end of the 1990s Melanie Stütz joined the band as new bassist, since 2002 then Alex Zschaege (previously KVD, NFP). Frank Baur and Jürgen Grahl are also working with non-Müllstation member Toralf Schwarz still in a side project called The Morlox. The Morlox play surf with Slavic influences.

Dog Food Five was founded in the summer of 1991. At a time when punk was considered a deadly serious, ideological issue, there were five mid-twenties, old friends and then something of a veteran of the local band scene, in a rehearsal room in Kassel in Hessen together to make songs in the style of Sex Pistols, Adverts & Dead Boys. Their quasi-postmodern look at the role models was perhaps a bit more distant than was the case with other punk bands of the time. So they had no problems with it, Rockabilly elements, Sixties Garage, New Wave, Surf & Psychedelic Rock in their music. To make the whole thing clear, they decided to Suits and ties, which amazed an audience that was accustomed to bands in military trousers, T-shirts and Lumberjack shirts to see. In the end, Dog Food Five, with its wild, raw sound, was also the purist of the punk scene convince and also attract people to punk concerts, which actually did not have so much to do with such music. Dog Food Five soon had a record deal and four albums, a split LP and a hand appeared in the next nine years full of singles. Bands like Müllstation and the Shocks covered their songs. In addition, Dog Food Five played hundreds of concerts in half of Europe, the last Christmas 2000 in their hometown Kassel. At that time, playing with stereotypes had become a cliché. Punkattitude was meanwhile become mainstream. Every second band musically relied on the punk and garage canon and suits on stage Punk clubs were such a common sight that nobody could shock them anymore.

ZWITSCHERMASCHINE & SAU-KERLE - DDR Von Unten 1983

Inspired by Woltis post last wednesday I dug up this record which unfortunately I don't have anymore. Released via Aggressive Rockproduktionen was this the first punk record from the DDR which came on a conspiratorial route from the GDR to West Berlin and is officially appeared only in the West. For years it was the only publication of its kind. The creation of DDR Von Unten occupied the Ministry of State Security for several years, the repression almost exclusively the band mucus germ concerned. Two unofficial employees (IM) were involved in the creation, including the much appreciated alternative writer Sascha Anderson. Zwitschermaschine were founded in Dresden and shine with experimental punk noises while Sau-Kerle from Erfurt play dirty fast Polit/Hardcore/Punk, the band is better known as Schleim-Keim (listen). Approx. 1500 - 4000 were made and more infos in the file.

V/A - Punk Will Never Die! 1994

The next compilation brings us punk rock from around the world and let us see what the 90ziger had. The LP was produced in collaboration between two very good German labels, Höhnie Records and Nasty Vinyl, and the result is another superb selection of damn good punkrock songs. It's difficult for me here to put any band especially highlighted because all participants deliver here first class stuff.. Interesting especially the exotics from the Philippines and Colombia, I mean that's true punk underground and who can say from these countries have many records, unless you live there. Another plus is the beautiful elaborate booklet inside which is a poster, full with lyrics, pictures and contact informations...I like that! - Musically is here is anything from melodic punkrock, hardcore and funny tunes. Try a song and you know what I mean. Very good record from Germany with awesome music.
