German punk veterans of the first hour, still having fun

German punk veterans of the first hour and one of the longest-serving bands of the genre still active or rather active again: founded in 1980, the band from Neuwied around frontman Wally quickly became one of the spearheads of domestic "political punk" together with SLIME and HASS, was featured on the legendary "Underground Hits" sampler in 1982 and toured Germany with the BAD BRAINS. Their self-titled debut album was released in 1983, which is considered an absolute milestone and has cult status - the songs have lost none of their topicality and significance to this day and are genuine classics. More than forty years later, here is a band that is still having fun, not self-indulgent nostalgia-seekers who see it as their duty to deliver dull slogans for the leather jackets of the canned beer faction. As if they had never been away, their new songs pop perfectly and complement the old hits perfectly at the concerts.
