i saw them on the first warped tour, 1995. they said it was their first US show ever, though not sure if they were kidding or not.

I can't tell the difference between wizo butter and this dead crab.

the_other_scott (November 9, 2009)

i never listened to these guys because every time i heard one of their songs on those old Fat comps I felt like I was listening to Nazi music - conditioned thinking, I guess. There was no basis to that.

kneel (November 9, 2009)

thats awful.

the_other_scott (November 9, 2009)

to be fair, this was in 95 or 96 and i was 13 years old. it was angry german guys yelling so that's all i took from it.

obviously i figured out later that it wasn't nazi music, but well, they broke up and i lost interest anyways.

CrankWillDestroy (November 9, 2009)

I think all I heard from them was their short song on Uncontrollable Fatulence, i believe, and it wasn't that great.

CrankWillDestroy (November 9, 2009)

I'll give them another listen.

MonsterLobster (November 9, 2009)

I always really liked their stuff on Fat comps, but I felt the same way. I never wanted anyone to hear me listening to it because then I was sure they'd think it was some weird Nazi music and then I'd have to explain that, no, it's not but, no, I don't have any idea what they're saying.

Germany will be an Islamic Republic by 2050.

warbrain (November 9, 2009)

the last real punks on this fuckin' planet are back. the really only thing germany can be proud of (well, okay wizo + currywurst)...
9247 is definately one of their best songs.

david_arquette (November 9, 2009)

The last real punks on this planet? What?

thirtyseconds (November 9, 2009)

What! This band don't even have the common decency to sing in English!

Dsquared (November 9, 2009)

Yes they do dink. All north american releases featured translated lyrics as well

smash_it_up (November 9, 2009)

Survival of the fattest!

10-4Eleanor (November 9, 2009)

Punk ünd Politzei is a classic song!

TwitchyIsAPunkRocker (November 10, 2009)

I believe that's a u-kommando song, Wizo just covered it.

rugget (November 9, 2009)

Awesome, I used to love this band.

TheFan (November 9, 2009)

Saw them at Warped Tour in Concord in 1995 or 1996. They came out and said (I'll never forget), "Vee are Das Scorpions and vee will now fuck you like a hurricane."

esteeben (November 9, 2009)

I was like 14 and with folks in a room that was pretty empty with our homemade Ouija board on a low table, a stereo plugged in on the floor next to a mattress, and a still sealed Uncontrollable Fatulence just purchased from Best Buy. Catalina was kind of crazy and it got annoying easily. Victor had already gotten Uncontrollable Fatulence like a week prior, so I already knew a lot of the songs. as Catalina began to irritate, I stood up, walked over to the mattress, grabbed my jacket, pulled out Uncontrollable Fatulence, and began to unwrap it slowly. I then walked over to the stereo, got down on one knee, and put in the CD. I skipped to the Wizo song, raised the volume as high as it could go, looked Catalina dead in the eye with a blank stare from down on one knee and across the room, and waited for the chorus. the chorus finally came; she slowly started to cry

kylewagoner (November 9, 2009)

Woo!!! I loved this band!

greg0rb (November 9, 2009)
