REKTUM

!
REKTUM !!!Rektum, allegedly, came from East Germany. When the Berlin Wall was coming down in 1989 and the Eastern Block borders began opening up, Rektum crossed through Hungary and made it to Bristol, England. Rektum were a highly sought after political Eastern Block punk group which successfully escaped their system. The press reports in the magazines Independent, NME, Sounds and Melody Maker were coming out thick and thin. Still gaining exceptional coverage. Allegedly, Manic Ears Records housed them and started recording their debut LP Sakredanus and 12-inch single Real Horrorshow. These two releases did appear, Real Horrorshow on Manic Ears Records and Sakredanus on the new formed Manic Ears offshoot label, PSI Records. John Peel phoned up Manic Ears HQ offering Rektum a session, however, the scam had to be broken to him. It was eventually broken in Sounds as Rektum were not a real band but a pseudonym of the (in)famous Gaye Bykers On Acid. The whole story was thought up by the band and their manager so that the Gaye Bykers On Acid could produce a thrash album and still gain their notoriety. This worked particularly well. Even top German magazine Stern fell for it hook, line and sinker!GBOA DISCOGRAPHY After Suck There's Blow on the Just Say Yeah compilation.
