Cotzbrocken - Jedem das S LP 2024

Discover the origins of German punk with the band Cotzbrocken! This Cologne cult band of the early 1980s shaped the German punk scene with their hearing-shock-flattering sound, pure energy and - for the time - scandalous lyrics. Cotzbrocken embodied the rebellious spirit of youth in a time when punk was seen as an expression of social and political discontent and did not necessarily have to be left-wing.

Founded in 1978, Cotzbrocken fused anti-conformist lyrics with an unpolished musical attitude. Their songs, such as "Das wahre Leben" or "Wie sieht der denn aus?", became anthems of the punk scene and captured the spirit of the times. They were at the center of a movement that was strongly influenced by British role models such as the Sex Pistols, but quickly developed its own, more radical identity.

Despite their short existence, Cotzbrocken left a lasting impression. Their unconventional, sometimes amateurish style of playing and their rebellious attitude inspired many other bands. Cotzbrocken were a symbol of what punk was all about: 1. the DIY starting signal for rebellion against authority and social conformity, 2. the provocation and the unshakable demand for individual freedom. In times of eco-socialist collectivism at the state level, the musicians' attitude can be seen as downright revolutionary today!

As expected, several digital edits had to be made so that the disc meets the legal requirements of 2024. But NO song was dropped and, unlike the original, there was even an additional song. Only the title of the record unfortunately no longer met the legal situation in the "best Germany of all time", in which we "live well and happily", and therefore had to be changed. Future generations of historians will look back on this era shaking their heads...
