Insisters was a women's band from Neue Deutsche Welle that had success in the early 1980s. It was the first German women's rock group to perform in front of a mixed audience; their texts were in German and English.
history
They made their first appearances at the Berlin Rock-Circus in spring 1981. The tour sponsored by the Berlin Senate took the participating bands (in addition to Insisters Morgenrot , Ideal , PVC and Z ) to ten West German cities. Numerous TV appearances and smaller tours from Sweden to Austria followed. Thanks to the CBS contract, the Insisters had one of the first music videos in Germany for their LP Moderne Zeiten. Most recently, the band showed a futuristic, multimedia rock opera (Irongirl - die Eisenfrau) on stage. It was about the end of the world through the takeover of machines. After seven years, the band members separated and went their own way.
