hits! hits! hits! sing along with every song! i found all of these cds in the trash can of the stuttgart employment agency and saved their/my/your lives. they are aw- and wonderfuel, ridi- and radicoulessly loud and shmaltz- and shmattering. underhearded and unnoearthed demo-recordings by coumpletelay obscenescure germain bands lurking for engagermints and a contract wayback in the 2010ial years of our last century.
there is a lot of missheard lyrics, a lot of dilletantraism, and a lot of no fun, my baby, no fun. you will love to hate these guys and dolls, and you will sing along to any of their songs. these krauts are made for working.
in the rar-file waydownbelow you will find some pictures of eachandavery cd involved plus some more. some of the songs are just edited fragments, but most of them are long enough. and now get ready to sing out loud!

Preparing for the punk deluge here....some brews and a rack of tunes. I'm loaded.
Some wonderful tunes on there. Glad you saved them.
A ray of sunshine in dark times. Or maybe not, since Great Balls by Elvis & Shawn Vegvary is positively Transylvanian. Thanks for the rescue and preservation of this valueless treasure.
