Now it’s time to turn south and that is south of Germany – this time round not Switzerland (that has always had strong punk ties to Hamburg) but to Austria. Austria? That rocky country we do our ski holidays in? And they have punk bands? Actualy i only heard none to very few bands from Austria back in the early 80s but today they have a mighty force called DeeCRACKS (actualy, they started as “The Cretins” but too many other bands had that name so they had to change), 10 years going and still strong. Plenty of singles and this is their prime 12″ Album! And it is fucking great!
The verdict:
1977 – actualy 1976, as it is full blast ramonescore!
published by a cool lable – Monster Zero NL, home of The Manges and The Windowsill – sure cool as fuck dutch punk masters!
found in a cool shop – Burnout Hamburg, tick!
catching sound – 1:35 packed with all you need: hammering drums, driving bass and sawing guitar plus snotty singin’ with “shout-out-loud refrain” – as said: RAMONESCORE!
The lyrics – about the drug that fit’s the soundtrack, perfect!
See yerself mate:

I don’t care about chinese food
no pizza pie
no barbecue
I don’t spend much on delivery
I hang out at the pharmacy
Teachers could not handle me
I was the black sheep of the family
mom and dad tried to keep me down
I was a hyperactive little clown
And now I’m sitting here
quiet and tired
ever since they put me on that diet
Ritalin for lunch
I want my
ritalin for lunch
ritalin for lunch
ritalin for lunch
ritalin for lunch
ritalin for lunch
ritalin for lunch
ritalin for lunch
ritalin for lunch
ritalin for lunch
ritalin for lunch
ritalin for lunch
i wan’t my
ritalin for lunch
i wan’t my
ritalin for lunch
i wan’t my
ritalin for lunch
