history

When it was founded, the band, which initially called itself Nordwestdeutsches Eiterlager , wanted to break up all common patterns and stereotypes of rock music. She hated the then predominant progressive - and jazz rock , as well as the late hippies and - 68ers , who were mostly listeners to this music. Brausepöter sang in their own language from the start.

Her first tape, Always the Same Shit , was self-distributed in 1979 and contained ten early punk rock titles. 1980 sent Alfred Hilsberg the band to accommodate the 7 " love, happiness, contentment to the studio. She is one of the earliest publications of the Hamburg ZickZack -label (ZZ18). The plate was well received by the press, the band but to date with the Sounded dissatisfied, the band members found the recordings too "softly washed".

In 1980, Brausepöter played the legendary ZickZack Festival in Hamburg's market hall with the Einstürzende Neubauten , Abwärts and others . The big music magazines such as Sounds and Musikexpress reported, and the ARD became aware of the band. In 1981 she shot a video for the Brausepöter song Bundeswehr in a distillery that was approved for demolition. It was broadcast as part of the film Tempo 82 on ARD. This was followed by appearances with bands like the synth-pop great Human League , with whom one no longer felt well placed. Brausepöter disbanded again in 1982, bored by the commercialization of the Neue Deutsche Welle . The band no longer delivered the LP planned with ZickZack.

In 2008, a YouTube user uploaded the old Bundeswehr video, and enthusiastic voices spoke up. In 2010, Bundeswehr appeared on Fin Du Monde as 7 ", together with a recording of Keiner kann uns ab from 1979. Shortly afterwards, the New York label Wild Isle released an" overseas version "with remastered tracks and different artwork. American radio DJs discovered the recordings and put them on their playlists, the songs received extensive airplay at the New York station WFMU .

In 2012 the complete back catalog was published by Überfall Records . "It's indie punk in the purest John Peel sense" wrote Maximum RocknRoll from San Francisco, one of the top-selling fanzines in the USA. The single and album landed in the reviewer's top tens. In 2015 the album Selbstauslöser was released, for which the band received a Culture Star of the Year. In the same year, the Bundeswehr became part of the exhibition Geniale Dilletanten in the Haus der Kunst in Munich.

The album Nerven Damaged was released in 2019 . The FAZ headed their review with “The new Brausepöter record shows what punk means today”. For them, Brausepöter is “a German band that was unfortunately too good to be as famous as Trio or Die Toten Hosen.” Spiegel Online noted: “In their radical disinterest in everything that is going on and that would be promising, it works Brausepöter's music today is even a lot more consistent than it was then. "

Since 2010, Brausepöter has been back on stage with the original line-up and gives concerts at random intervals.
