BOSKOPS from Hannover, Germany
Boskops evolved out of the ashes of the great german punk band Blitzkrieg. They recorded four full length LP's. SOL 12(1983), Lauschgift(1985), F.E.D.I.A.(1987), and Non-Plus Ultra(1991). All records had many great songs and styles of punk/hardcore. Their strongest LP I think was Lauschgift. This album produced all the hooks and power of a classic punk LP. SOL 12 is thrash/hardcore at its best reminds me of early uk punk bands at times. F.E.D.I.A. is more hardcore/metally punk and has some killer songs on it as well. Non Plus Ultra has a couple of newer members and isn't as good as previous records. Pedder A(F.E.D.I.A.), Ralle, and Raffa went on to form Rat's Got The Rabies, who I don't know too much about but I would like to hear more. I am not a member of Boskops but if you are, you can feel free to write and send me a good bio and history if you like. If not just enjoy the songs and remember a great german punk band from the 80's.A special thanks to Peter Ahlers for supplying some photos! Thank You!...
