If you want to deal with punk
and new wave in Germany you can´t ignore S.Y.P.H.
Formed 1977 in Solingen by Harry Rag and Thomas Schwebel the band
very fast leaves the generic three-chord-formula behind and starts
searching for other forms of expression. Their search still continues
in the year 2004. Somewhere between punk, krautrock, dub and dadaistic
soundcollages the band still plays an exceptional role in the German
music scene and is already regarded as a part of the nations cultural
history.
The recently released band retrospective Ungehörsam - the
essential recordings 1978-2003 impressively proves to the fact
and is highly recommended for the uninitiated.
Therefore the news that the band will appear at Punk! Kongress in
the original line-up from 1978 is a much cheered sensation: Harry
Rag (vocals), Uwe Jahnke (the guitar armada from Solingen), Jojo Wolter
(bass), Ulli Putsch (drums). |
