A MADHOUSE MEETING OF BANNED PUNX!

this is a classic! repeat! this is a classic! RAZORS´ BANNED PUNX 12", released in 1982 on KONEKSCHEN RECORDS (one of the 1st german PUNKLABELS) is among the 5 best german records that have been released in the 80ies! I guess I would have killed for this 5 song 12" that runs on 45 rpm while I was trying to get ahold of this gem! RAZORS were part of the early HH-scene (together with BUTTOCKS, NAPALM, SCREAMER, COPSLAYERS, CORONERS, etc.) so you shouldn´t wonder that the vox aren´t done by the original singer Danker, they´re done by Lui who did the vox on the PUNKENSTEIN 7" and played in NAPALM as well! RAZORS did 3 7"es, this 12" e.p. and a full length 12", and some comptracks in the 80ies. they reformed in the late 90ies (I think they did some new stuff again) and may still be around! both 12"es have been re-released for their reunion as a double 12" or maybe they reunited cause of re-release! what most people don´t know is that there is more than the vinyl stuff! there is a tape (recorded in their rehearsal room which happened to be on a ship) that is better than the rest of their 7"es and the other 12" and some live tracks on some old tapecomps! I´ve been told that their singer disappeared and nobody knows what happened to him! basicly the same 20 - 30 people wrote and recorded most of the classic records during that period in Hamburg!
and for the record: not only that RAZORS tape but some of the coolest songs from this time never made it on vinyl! ever heared UNTER DEN BRÜCKEN HAMBURGS from SPIEL 77 or DER NAZIHIPPIE from MEINE SCHUPPEN? no? sorry you!
