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!!!!!

SLIME - Yankees Raus 1982

March, last post and I dedicate this one to a sublime sound experience by Hamburg's most famous Punx named Slime on Aggressive Rockproduktionen. In 1981 they met Karl-Ulrich Walterbach, who signed the young band to his recently founded label and after the two samplers tracks on Soundtracks Zum Untergang, he first released the self-financed debut album and then continued to support the Five in the realization of their follow-up albums. Shortly after the release of Slime I, the band had separated from their drummer Peter "Ball" Wodok, who was unreliable due to frequent drinking. Christian brought Stephan into the band, the two had previously played with Screamer. The band itself wasn't satisfied with the recordings, because the sound was too 'thin...flat' produced, but I would say the music is still fresh and dynamic after more than forty years and Slime are definitely one of the most important combos in my life, among other things they paved the way for my current existence. And in all these years they're never been taken in by any fucking political scene. 'Alptraum', 'Gerechtigkeit', 'Demokratie' or 'Wenn Der Himmel Brennt' are still great songs and make every tired ass think. Yankees Raus is powerful, straight forward and written during the Reagan era and captures the harsh climate, gray betong canyons and morbid times of the early Eighties brilliantly, a tough part of the town. Do the POGO!

V/A - Soundtracks Zum Untergang 1980

Start today, in my opinion with the best German punk compilation ever: the first release of the Berlin label AGGRESSIVE ROCKPRODUKTIONEN (AGR). Full with rare stuff from bands which release a lot of good records and on this vinyl are seventeen hits! Offensive, hard, very good lyrics, straight to the point and a good artwork. Some idiots bothered by two dittys and submitted an application for indexing and got right.... the plate was removed and all other releases were with beeps accompanied (MCF #1 and Slime #6), so simple subculture was then dismembered. Well, the uncensored are rare and expensive, but every damn penny worth. Two years later Volume 2 comes out with more new German bands, more hits and it's, without question, also great, Deutsche Wertarbeit!

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.

TARGETS - Schneller, Lauter, Härter EP 1984

One more superb German Punk I like a lot and I regret to sold this awesome EP many years ago. So if anyone wanna sell this record I'm the right man, of course at a reasonable price, please leave me a message in the comment section for fair offers. Targets were founded ca. 1984 after the dissolution of the best German political punk band Slime in Hamburg by Eddie (bass), Elf (vox & guitars) and Stéphane from the Buttocks (drums). Targets stand for aggressive punk with brilliant offensive lyrics and anyone who knows their full length album can imagine how great they are live (I was lucky to see Slime in HH anno 1990 in Altona/Fabrik: awesome!!). Hamburg had a very active scene + many cool bands released lots of classics and the list is endless. Schneller, Lauter, Härter was released on Karl Walterbach's AGR label and their second 'Menschenjagd' in the same year. 1985 they went to Berlin again and recorded their fantastic album Massenhysterie. Shortly after, the band broke up. What remains are three brilliant records which should have a place in every well-stocked record collection.

SLIME - Musa, Göttingen 04.10.2012

In 2012 entered Slime from Hamburg the stage again and in the baggage their new record which appeared almost twenty years after the Schweineherbst album. Of course I was curious and had to see them live (last was 1990 in the Fabrik). Although I did not like the new album very much, I was hot for the gig, especially as I wanted to hear the old classics. So we go to the Zoom and experienced a refreshing evening with lots of fun, beer and a band in an euphoric playing mood, as if they had never been away. Grandios! Now here are quite good recordings from their show in Göttingen, enjoy!

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.

DESTINATION ZERO - Suiciety 1988

As Punk has lost at the end of the 80's its aggressiveness and hardness a lot of many new bands formed and choose a new direction in terms of punk rock. So here is a good example: Destination Zero, four piece from Hamburg with ex-members of Slime (Elf, guitars + vox) and Razzia (P. Siegler, drums) and they play a solid Rock'n'Roll with a dark touch and nasty words. Their first sign of life are on the great Hamburg '88 compilation with two cuts, 'Kicks' is also on this debut album but in a different version I think, released by the Reeperbahn label Bitzcore, this album struck me like a bomb, hard, excellent production and with a powerful sound that brings houses to collape, really a fat singular release. In 1990 they recorded their second called "Survive" and one year later the last, a mini LP (Mr.Evil), both by Ruff & Roll Recordings released. In the same year the band broke up and Elf played again with Slime. - What's left: a cool album with many highlights!

TARGETS - Massenhysterie 1985

We start the long X-Mas weekend with full steam and let's open door #22 with a German classic, thirty years ago and not a bit rusty, this legendary and only album of the Slime successor band appeared. Targets existed only two years, released two EP's (listen) and one album, all on Aggressive Rockproduktionen, and they are still popular in our orbit nowadays, no wonder that Colturschock/Höhnie Records reissued the slab in 2014. Why AGR only at the first pressing with red labels the track "Großer Bruder" has is a mystery to me, my copy has yellow labels. Anyway, the songs sounds still fresh, dynamic and with such intensity which is unparalleled in my opinion, and lyrically as brilliant as Slime: "An Outbreak Of Emotions, People Running Around, On A House Sits A Madman With A Sharp Rifle - Chaos Panic Masshysteria!" - I think that's enough info, buy the record, enjoy this German punk nugget and have a nice time!

V/A - Planet Punk #4 2005

Second and last part of Planet Punk and with Volume 3, this little self-made series is already complete. H2D#26 is another tidbit full of rare stars from international bands that are still kicking ass, much in demand and popular in our fucking disillusioned times which bring little decent music to light in my opinion. Music is like inventions, there is nothing innovative that can really impress me, hardly any wow factor or thing that I can really admire. And I would say that for almost twenty years. Speaking of music, we all hear & see the so called "combos" thrown together, the TV shows which offer only shit and are played over and over by radio stations, all this crap is boring, repetitive and only geared towards profit, commercial shit and really sucks. It's really intoxicating to get acquainted with such music as on this further fantastic compilation and to eke out an existence far away from this dead & dull society. That are the words for Sunday, Amen! Enjoy the vibes of the good ole days!

MUFF POTTER - Bordsteinkantengeschichten 2000

Back in 1993 anyone gave me the demo tape "Bambule - Kleine Geschichten" from this German punk band from Rheine and meantime I've lost it. But I was pleased with their music and I bought their records. Muff Potter describe their style of music as Angry Pop Music, influenced by English and American Indie-/Punkrock like Hüsker Dü, Wipers, Leatherface, but also of German bands like Slime, ...But Alive, Boxhamsters or EA80. In their early days they played Punkrock with profound lyrics without striking or strongly politically phrases. That's what I like, direct in your face!!!! Was the sound during their first records a bit scrapy the band gets with every album musically better & better and in my opinion their first three albums are still angry, desperate, honest, snotty and simply delicate. And by listen to the fourth, I suddenly lost my interest, something had gone, I don't know what but I never come in with the new stuff. You probably know that? Kinda like cycling without a saddle, beer without alcohol, a pale facade... Anyhow, Bordsteinkantengeschichten was finally out and I was eager and it's their best record to date. I remember how often the platte runs up and down, every fuckin' time. They recorded a lot songs for this album and two songs doesn't find a place on the album and were released as 7inch, called the Potthoff EP, spiced up with a witty outro. Both released on the bands own label Huck's Plattenkiste. Every song is great; my favourites are 'Take A Run At The Sun', 'Das Siegerlied', 'Unkaputtbar' and 'An Der Bordsteinkante'. If you have a wire to the bands mentioned above then you must listen to Muff Potter. Salut!!!

...BUT ALIVE - Für Uns Nicht 1993

Welcome 2022 and the first post belongs to a band that I appreciate very much and whose music is one of the best of the nineties and thus gave an important part of the lame movement of that time new input. Krawehl, Krawehl was their first demo from 1991 (connoisseurs know immediately who gave this words), and it soon attracted the interest of the Hamburg label Weird System, which finally signed the band. - The quartet But Alive was one of the most influential German punk bands until 1999 and were, alongside Wizo, Boxhamsters and Dackelblut, at the forefront of German punk movement for four records and seven years. Actually started as a small fun band, the political claim developed more and more as a permanent trademark of the group. Spurred on by German formations such as EA80 and, above all, Slime, But Alive quickly became one of the biggest mouthpieces of the intellectual punk scene. Because of their left-radical and highly political lyrics, ...But Alive should not be equated with the blunt slogans of the "Mob & Gesocks" punks. Their message is hidden in demanding lyrics, which often wrong interpreted (also from punks itself). After a few bass players, there is finally the line-up around Marcus (vocals/guitars), Hagen (guitars), Torben (bass), Frank (drums). They made four very good albums, of which more will appear soon in this theatre. Für Uns Nicht is a great debut, arranged sharply and fluently and with lyrics that get to the point, they spoke out what is wrong in this world and that fourteen times. The first 500 copies in blue vinyl, my copy. Enough useless words, nobody cares anyway, enjoy the music and look forward to an interesting new music year.

KILLER PRALINEN - s/t 12'' 1982

Killer Pralinen is a combo from Frankfurt, my hometown, and emerged from Middle Class Fantasies, and consisted of Deo (vocals), Judas (guitars), Prinz Hulk (bass) and TG (drums) and to document the cut, they decided to change their name to Killer Pralinen. Musically, elements from the avant-garde were adopted. They moved away from the fast and hard punk style which they presented gloriously in their few publications, towards post-punk in the style of Killing Joke and UK Decay. In 1982 the band released their only 12'' on Aggressive Rockproduktionen which flopped and really disappointed the punk hearts in Germany, but now a sought-after rarity. Tensions within the band spread and they played again in front of an almost empty hall in Bochum and then dissolved. Today; after Prinz Hulk and TG so also Deo passed away a few years ago. Over the years and not least because of their participation on the first Soundtrack Zum Untergang compilation, the band became cult status of the German punkscene. Their recordings were distributed via bootlegs. In addition, some songs appeared again and again on compis, such as Party In The Gaskammer on the anti-Nazi compilation Nazis Raus!, published by Zap Fanzine and Weird System, etc.... When inquiries accumulated, Deo recorded five older but never published songs from the Killer Pralinen era together with Michael "11" Mayer and Stephan Mahler from Slime which were 2007 published on the complete discography of Middle Class Fantasies under the title Fick Dich Selbst by WS.

ÜBERDOSIS GRAU - Schritt Ins Nichts EP 1997

Powerful, energetic and ponderous mucke far from slogans with deep thought lyrics by this three-piece from Frankenthal, a small kaff in the south of Rheinland-Pfalz and Überdosis Grau exist since approx. 1993, emerged from the Slime cover band "Die Letzten" they have remained loyal to the minimalist line-up: Flo (vocals/guitar), Tobi (bass), Stefan (drums). This is their debut slab on Freibeuter Records with four goodies. Like most bands, Überdosis Grau started with cover numbers. The repertoire included songs from Toxoplasma, Ramones and Nirvana, among others. Above all, these bands shaped the style of their own songs which they mixed with a dose of depression and a bit gloom. However, pressure and speed were not saved, so that the current style of the band could develop. To date they have released two albums and on few compilations. In any case interesting band far from Pogo. Listen!

V/A - ¡Condenados A Luchar! 1986

Released on Discos Suicidas with four different covers this is a pretty Hardcore/Punk/Oi! compilation. Danba opens the music palette with pretty cool Ska/Oi!/Punk rock and the first song they stole the riff from Slime's "Deutschland" but the rest is quite cool, Bap! continues with nice hardcore sound, all four songs going on to fuck your brain out, no time to fill your head with sad memories, troubles or other confused shit. The two Ultimatum songs are the ones that I knew from a tape which recorded a Spanish friend of mine for me back in the 80's. Both cuts simply brilliant and are a must for any mix-tape. M.C.D. kicks with excellent '77 punk and start with a classic, "Steppin' Stone', everyone knows, in Spanish as well and the rest two numbers shine with sing-alongs and with 'No Mas Punkies Mugertos' (the Spanish hymn per se) they make the way clear for Prokeria T, total unkonwn band for me but they smash with two more '77 punk numbers my speakers and finally Zer Bizio? complete with their classic Oi! sound (with sax!) this wonderful album. So use your chance and choose this compilation for your daily fight!

AHEADS - s/t LP 1981

Excellent record now: short crunchy crackers and another one of my favorites. The Aheads from Herford were one of the first punk bands in the region of East Westphalia. 1975 they were founded as "Ron Age Band" and their first appearance was in 1977 at Hellepark under the name "Those Fuckin' Aheads" named after rockers from the Crumb Comix. After the first punk songs from England could be heard through the radio broadcast by John Peel in Germany and by attending a concert by Wire, the band began writing their own songs. With their unconventional sound for its time the band led by former British soldier Andy Stillon known punk bands like the Dead Kennedys has enthusiastically. The Aheads debut was the 'Freedom Of Speech EP' and one year later two songs on the great Soundtracks Zum Untergang compilation. Then toured with Slime, Betoncombo and Middle Class Fantasies. After the tour the band recorded their only album in Berlin which was released by AGR. Their last gig was in 1982 at the Audimax in Bielefeld. After the dissolution of the band guitarist Bernd and drummer Werner played in the 80s in a number of not very long-lived bands. Under the name Roll On Roll Off they released the single "Fig. 320" and the self-produced mini album "Pussy Push" in 1988. Andy Stillion, the singer of the band died on 11.July 2010 in the morning. With his girlfriend on a boat trip to the Farne Islands, he collapsed on the boat. In 2011 the remaining band members published a showcase with all produced songs including a DVD supplement with photos of their active career. A consistent, strongly recommended LP.

D.R.I. - Live @ CBGB'S New York 1984

This brings back a lot of memories. In the early 80s I listen to a lot of Metal stuff because I was a Metaller with all my heart. I leave this style when I came in touch with American Hardcore bands like Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Bad Religion, Dead Kennedys, Warfare (UK) etc.... so also with D.R.I. The Hardcore sound was an integral part in this scene and then more and more concerts took place I rather visited of course those gigs as Megadeth or Anthrax. 1986 then D.R.I. live in my city, together with Holy Moses (ARRGGHHH!) and this show changed my lifestyle completely. I will not say that they made me a punk because I've also heard some German punk bands, EA80, Slime, Daily Terror, OHL for example, but they were rarely present live as the ami bands. I would say my interest in metal was deleted this evening, First-class performance with pogo till the shack crashed, unforgotten. Who ever saw a D.R.I. gig can attest to this. A little info:

D.R.I. (Dirty Rotten Imbeciles) is a crossover thrash band from the United States that formed in Houston, in 1982. The band currently comprises founding members, vocalist Kurt Brecht and guitarist Spike Cassidy, as well as drummer Rob Rampy and bassist Harald Oimoen. D.R.I. never gained a mainstream audience, but the integration of their hardcore punk roots with thrash metal influences was a stylistic catalyst for their contemporaries - most notably Suicidal Tendencies, Corrosion Of Conformity and Stormtroopers Of Death - alongside whom they are considered pioneers of what would later be called "crossover thrash." They have released seven original studio albums, the last of which was released in 1995. Since then, the band has continued touring and intermittently going on hiatus. In 2004, D.R.I. released a web-only demo track "Against Me", their first recording in a decade. For years, there has been talk of an eighth D.R.I. album, which has yet to materialize.

The first three albums are all terrific and as '4 Of A Kind' came out the music was too monotonous to me and I lost interest. I love more the rapid, wild aggressive sound and here on this CD are all their hits. Forty songs in Thirty-Nine minutes. A Must Listen!!

RUBBERMAIDS - Twisted Chords 1991

An older rip now and we encounter a comfortable, mid-tempo sound and we're talking about the Rubbermaids. Founded 1986 in Hamburg and the original line-up consisted of Birgit (vocals), Minne & Matzy (guitar), Hardy (bass), DynaMeik (drums). They existed until 1994 and in their active lifespan, the band released four albums and one 7Inch. This is their second album on Rebel Records with twelve powerful melodic pieces and occasional short Pogo blasts and the pleasant choral singing is also cool. In 2003, members of Slime and the Rubbermaids founded the band Rubberslime, who made two albums together. For me, Punk from Hamburg is always at the top and many good bands came from this beautiful city, especially in the early days. The harsh sound and the offensive lyrics are a trademark and their records are very sought after today, especially those from Weird System, the most important label from there. Enough words, enjoy some really good Punkrock from the Hanseatic city and stay vertical.

RAZZIA - Spuren 1991

With their fourth album Razzia came back to their roots and leave the keyboard at home and wrote thirteen fantastic goodies shortly after the reunification of Germany, who express their feelings in entangled lyrics but musically tie in with the first album (Sören also left the band during the production of the album, but continued to contribute to the creation of lyrics and bass tracks. His successor on bass was Christian Both). It's a refreshing one that's more relevant than ever and amazing that singer Rajas has no songwriting credits, all written by the musicians which I think is extraordinary. Short info: Razzia was founded in Hamburg 1979 by brothers Andreas (guitar) and Peter Siegler (drums) and Rajas (vocals). The first line-up was completed by Sören (bass) and Frank (guitar). Unlike Slime, however, Razzia were not a purely politically motivated Punk combo and in the lyrcs, abuses of all kinds were formulated in a very rough and cynical way and implemented very aggressively in the early years. Spuren is a fantastic record with catchy songs and an excellent example how an versatile band come back mercilessly and kick your ass ruthlessly. Absolutely suitable and a solid Razzia record!!!

MCD - Bilboko Gaztetxean 1987

Decent debut album by MCD (Me Cago En Dios) on Discos Suicidas, recorded live @ Bilbo's Gaztetxe, January 1987 and I must first point out the outstanding sound quality and in this context I immediately have Slime's Pankehallen (released 1984) slab on my radar, which for me is by far the best live album of all time, the energy and power of these recordings remains unique to date, but Bilboko Gaztetxean is definitely at the top of this list. MCD was formed in Bilbao between 1978-1979 by Niko (bass) and his brother Bernar (drums) and with Bronkoki (voice) & Ruffus Fuck-Off (guitar) they entered the stage 1981 with Vulpess. In the mid 80s, Niko & Rockan, with the help of Virgi and Bernar, recorded their only demo. The band doesn't gave many concerts, but it included scandals such as the Bilbao Carnival, where the group was "banned" from municipal concerts in their city; the band found its sound with the entry of Joakin in 1986 and finally they released their debut in January 1987. From then, with some line-up changes, it went very well for MCD, numerous albums and 7Inches were made and after their inactive break from 2004 to 2011 they're still active. So folks, in an hour the longed-for match against Bayern.
