DIE ANGST - 1000 Jahre EP 2009

Die Angst is the follow up of the punk band L.S.K. and they at home in a very dark gloomy sound. They released a five track demo CD called "Die Angst Kennt Deinen Namen" which was released on their own label Moon Records in 2004 in a small edition. Slowly it going, a few gigs followed and in 2009, Thought Crime Records released this three track EP and the label stopped the distribution one week after release. Why, read here the statement von Thought Crime Records: "Due to information that has been brought to my attention now, I have decided to stop selling the EP by German band Die Angst that just recently was released on Thought Crime Records. The reason is that I found out that one member of the band also plays in a very dodgy Dark Wave band called Sonne Hagal. As I now discovered, Sonne Hagal is pretty big in the German Dark Wave scene, playing to audiences of a few hundred up to 1000+. I have no idea what percentage of their audience you could call right wing or straight up fascist, but it's certain that they have some sort of Nazi following.

They have played with Fire and Ice, Ian Read's (ex Death In June) new band. Ian Read is an open right winger and sort of key figure in the Dark Wave Nazi/Fascist sub-scene. He also appears on one of Sonne Hagals records. As far as Die Angst, I know all three members of the band come from an anti-fascist, left-wing background. 

I have no idea how one of them manages to live in such a schizophrenic situation though. Whatever his reasons might be, it's pretty fucked up. I don't think any of the lyrics or band politics of Die Angst are questionable at all. I just don't want to be associated with anything a band like Sonne Hagal does, so it's obvious thatI don't want to support another band that shares a member with them. I decided to leave the mp3 on the website for a while, mainly to give you better picture. That's it for now."

I think that's a little excessive because Die Angst is a damn good German punk band and deserves more attention. Well, another method to make records rare. Speak your mind!

DIE ANGST - Die Angst In Euch Ist Die Angst In Uns 2012

The following band is always a welcome guest in my theater. 3 out of 26 reasons a) we're talking about Die Angst from Rathenow and one of my faves, b) their powerful, sombre music turns me on with its driving dynamic extra long elegiac bass runs, scrappy 80s guitars and refreshing heaviness, that's the sound that keeps me awake, and c) a new 7inch is coming out these days on their own Moon Records label (order/listen now via bandcamp) with two crackers in the typical Angst style. On this superb six track mini CD are Seve (vocals/bass), Kilian (vocals/guitars) and Jensen (drums) making music... splendid music. The only thing I have to complain: the slabs are too short. I've barely arrived and after thirty minutes the journey is already over. I mean, it's different with a hardcore record because of the number of tracks, after that I'm inspired and it's good. With the Brandenburgers I'm on my trip in the middle of nowhere and waiting for the bus, you know what I mean? 'ZackBumBäng' - Well, I'll get in again. Enjoy all the wafts of fog and don't miss the next episode when it says again: Mommy, I don't have a bus ticket!

V/A - Neue Klänge Für Die Endzeit 2007

Passend zu grauen Novembertagen a discovery of new German 'dark' punkrock and for me this is a remarkably good compilation. And if I say that as not a friend of new punk records you can be sure I mean it. Impact Records released this CD with new bands, partially known (Front, Die Angst, Ernährungsfehler) and they manage to venture a look which new bands move up here. Ja, Ja!! That goes for me too, haha..... - Musically all 9 groups, each with two songs, make their appearance decent, bring over a powerful and angry sound, very good lyrics and the nice mix of fast and slow numbers round off this Silberling. An amusing announcement of moving moments and honest reality. I'm sure many have already found their fans and more records will be interesting. Both Thumps Up, ma Chérie!!

V/A - Never Mind Covid-19 2020

WDM Records ist zurück, eine neue Compilation mit raren unentdeckten deutschen Untergrund ist geschlüpft und Part X fand den Weg vor circa gut zwei Wochen in meine Hütte und schlummerte daher nicht lange auf der Festplatte. Mit fast fünfzig Songs bestückt habe ich an einen langen Sonntag eine anständige Auswahl zusammengestellt die sich hören und sehen lassen kann. Danksagungen möchte ich an dieser Stelle vermeiden, da Ihnen im Booklet Ehre erwiesen ist, abgesehen davon sind's eh die üblichen Verdächtigen. Albumtitel & Cover stammen von Herrn Reinhard, das sei erwähnt, und der Rest ist auf meinem Mist gewachsen. Musikalisch wieder eine gesunde Mischung Wave, Punk, Rock und bißchen schnelles, gezogen von diversen Singles + Sampler alben. # 008 ohne Live Aufnahmen, kommt auch selten vor. Wie immer, Lob oder Kritik sind wünschenswert und nun lauschiges Hörvergnügen mit dieser kleinen Ode an die Freude. Prost!

WDM Records is back, a new compilation with rare undiscovered German underground has slipped and Part X found its way into my hut about two weeks ago and therefore didn't sleep long on the hard drive. With almost fifty songs, I put together a decent selection on a long Sunday which is very cool, visually & acoustically. I would like to avoid thx at this point, they are honored in the booklet, apart from that, they are the usual suspects anyway. Album title & cover are from Mr. Reinhard, that should be mentioned, and the rest grew on my dung. Musically again a healthy mixture of wave, punk, rock and a few speedys, drawn from various singles & compilation records. # 008 without live recordings is also rarely occurs. Praise or criticism are desirable as always and now, cozy listening pleasure with this little ode to joy. Cheers!

V/A - Jetzt Oder Nie! 2020

Willkommen zu einer neuen Compilation aus dem Hause WDM Records, und #007 ist einmal mehr hervorragend bestückt mit rarem deutschen Untergrund von 1979 - 1986, die Daten lagen unentdeckt auf einem USB Stick den ich zufällig reaktivierte und all das wurde mir X-Mas 2017 von Herrn Reinhard geschickt. An für sich bin ich sofort dabei reinzuhören weil ich weiß, es ist immer exzellenter Stoff, doch hier lief's irgendwie anders. Nun, jetzt isser da; Part VIII wieder randvoll aus einer bunten Palette mit Pop, Rock, Punk & New Wave Goodies von diversen Singles, Demos, Samplerbeiträgen & Live Stücken die kaum jemand kennt, inklusive mir selbst. Der Titel ist jetzt nichts spezielles, mir kam eben kein anderer und so wurde es einfach der Opener und Erdbeeren mag ich gerne, so ist das Cover ebenso ein zeitgemäß unspektakuläres geworden (dem Arm geht's inzwischen wieder besser). Genug Worte, zieht euch das Teil rein und Lob oder Kritik sind wünschenswert. Part IX wird definitiv anders, versprochen.

Welcome to a new compilation from WDM Records, and #007 is once again excellently equipped with rare German underground from 1979 - 1986, the data was undetected on a USB stick that I accidentally reactivated and all of this was sent to me X-Mas 2017 by Mr.Reinhard. In itself, I immediately listen to it because I know it is always excellent material, but here it was somehow different. Well, now here; Part VIII again full to the brim with a colorful palette with pop, rock, punk & new wave goodies from various singles, demos, sampler contributions & live pieces that hardly anyone knows, including myself. The title is nothing special, no other came to me and so it just became the opener and I like strawberries, so the cover has become a contemporary unspectacular one (the arm is doing better now). Enough words, suck the file in and praise or criticism is desirable. Part IX will be definitely different, I promise.

L.S.K. - Rückkehr Zum Ort Des Geschehens 1998

Second long player by L.S.K. from Rathenow on their own label Moon Records which was recorded in just two days. The band consisted of Seve (vocals/bass), Kilian (guitars), E.S. (drums) and I'm a little late with the record. Coincidence would have it that I now come across it again because I want to transport their music to my phone and read in the comments that I should rip their second one. Said and done. Twelve dark nuggets are on it and was the debut rather populated with short, concise pieces, L.S.K. wrote more mature and melodic songs. Lyrically still personally and a little sadly desperate. In 2002 the band was buried and continued as Die Angst who publish pieces here and there. Currently, a strictly limited 10Inch (29 copies) by the singer is out under the name All Those Riots Are Gone on Sick Suck Records, which I can highly recommend, if you get one. For those who are late, all records are re-upped. Now I'll see what's next, endless raining outside, time for a long music day.

L.S.K. - s/t LP 1997

Start July with one of my favourite German Punk band and it's really a damn good one: L.S.K. from Rathenow, near Berlin, founded in the mid of the 90's and the four gentlemen played punk rock of the gloomy sort. Who love the sound of the Gladbach EA80, like me, will love this record. First you would think this was a cheap copy but I must say L.S.K. do a very very good job. Overall, they have two self produced LP's and a mini-LP and appear on some punk compilations. Their music can be described quickly: fast short songs whose lyrics are usually held in person. I like to listen if I'm not in the mood for people/party or any action. Pretty cool live band. Disbanded in 2000 and they appeared under a new name called Die Angst. In any case: very recommended!!! New rip with new scans, Prost!

L.S.K. - Momente 12'' 2000

This 12'' is the last release and I think their best one. LSK means bombshelter and they sound once again rough and strong with somber thoughtful lyrics, each slab a unique masterpiece in my opinion. Too bad this band no longer exists but they carry on as Die Angst. Influences by EA80 from Mönchengladbach is inaudible and they do it very fine, No cheap copy!!! They celebrate heavy driving gloomy punk nuggets and do that superb. Founded in the mid 90's near Berlin L.S.K. released their first Longplayer in 1997 which is a pretty gloomy sort album with excellent songs and its a mandatory album for everyone who likes EA80, Serene Fall, Fliehende Stürme, etc.. - Buy their debut if you doubt. Also live the band was mercilessly blown me away and a subsequent table football game was crazy fun, sympathetic guys. As a small bonus I added a live cut from that evening in Mannheim which was in 2000. Brilliant stuff.

V/A - Die Tödliche Dosis 1981

The Austrian label 'Lustgewinn Schallplatten' (brilliant title) brought this fantastic, now very rare, compilation out to light in 1981 with mostly bands from Vienna. Melodic songs somewhere between raw KBD punk and experimental oblique-wave sound (A.K.G. and Molto Brutto). A truly explosive combination to me here because i like this diversity and variety very well. Noisy, snotty, and just plain charming. Just click over to Trash Rock Archives and you'll find more infos about bands/scene and songs of the 80's punk in Austria, in German language but very recommended. So enjoy this early classic stuff and i'm looking forward to your comments.

NEUROTIC ARSEHOLES - ...Bis Zum Bitteren Ende 1983

Now to an important band that always inspires me and whose music is way ahead of other bands even after so many years. The music of the Neurotic Arseholes offers predominantly melodic punk with frequent changes in tempo, routine breaks, harmonious guitar solos and the varied mix of styles prove the high musical quality of the talented four. The predominantly subtle political texts are partly German, partly English. The band was founded 1979 in Minden by bassist "Zahni" and guitarist "Kurt", who were inspired by John Peel's program Rock Today. The two had already released a punk fanzine in their home area. In 1980 singer Dierk (“Zombie”) and drummer “Der Kurze” joined the founders (Der Kurze got his pseudonym because he was fourteen years old when he joined the band, and thus about four years younger than his bandmates) and their first appearance took place 1981 in a youth center in Minden. Also in 1981, the quartet received a record contract with Karl-Ulrich Walterbach's label Aggressive Rockproduktionen, whereupon three pieces were recorded in Berlin in one day and published on the essential album Soundtracks Zum Untergang 2. A year later three tracks followed on the Underground Hits compilation and in 1983 the band's first LP, ...Bis Zum Bitteren Ende, was finally released. However, after the album production the collaboration between the band and Walterbach ended, as his label, now Noise International, began to concentrate on the production of metal bands in the mid 80s.

In 1984 they therefore switched to the Hamburg label Weird System, which initially released two new tracks on the brilliant Keine Experimente! Vol.II record before the second album Angst comes in 1985. Despite enthusiastic reviews, there were differences within the band, which therefore decided to break up and gave their official farewell concert on January 25, 1986 in the AJZ Bielefeld. Only for this occasion the Paradise EP (200 copies) was produced and released via Weird System and only sold that evening.

In 1986 the third and final slab Live... All' Die Jahre came out with recordings from the band's last concerts. Individual tracks were also re-released on other samplers of the label. After the split, the members went different ways, Der Kurze founded the band The Brides with guitarist "Kurt", but they never achieved professionalism, so the project was abandoned and Shorty hired himself out as a drummer in dance music bands. Only bass player Zahni, who recently played with the Drowning Roses, achieved a certain level of reputation with this band and was part of the opening act for NOFX on a USA tour.

In 1989 the four reformed and a smaller tour which was simply titled "Just For Fun Tour" was the result that delighted many fans, including myself. During the tour, the Just Do It For Fun EP was distributed with older unreleased recordings. The busy fanzine maker Karl-Heinz Stille took care of the production of the single, the idea for this record: it's a small gratitude from them to everyone who has stood by themselves and know who they are! - Karl-Ulrich Walterbach released a new edition of the debut LP in 1989 without paying royalties to the band, this led to a lengthy legal battle between the four and Walterbach. Then it became quiet around the Arseholes. In 1998 they surprisingly returned with the Melancholia EP and a smaller tour across Germany.

Important, a bloody must have and buy immediately!!!

V/A - Not So Quiet On The Western Front 2LP 1982

Let's start the church service with a terrific compilation and I'm glad I wasn't allowed to rip it because such a mammoth work requires a lot of time and a comfortable chair, especially when there's a nice booklet with lots of information within. The material is not unknown in Blogland and I already had a copy, but this rip here is excellent, no wonder, because I know where it comes from. Released by Maximum RockNRoll (one of the best sources for objective reviews and band infos) on Alternative Tentacles as double album and features forty-seven Northern California and Nevada bands (a few known elsewhere, most not), and ranges from punk to hardcore and comes with 48-page zine on the bands. Since I'm lazy to write and I'm not a good reviewer anyway, you can find a fitting one on punknews and before I close, a quick footnote: the link runs through zippy and you have to activate your VPN. Finally, a metaphysical sentence from the back cover: "If Punk Is Dead, What The Hell Is This?" In this sense, enjoy the music!
