\"Hermann's
Hermann’s Orgie – Die Moderne Welt Und Andere Disharmonien… (Moderne Musik Trontr\u00e4ger MOD-004, 1981)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Hometown Punk. But one of the lesser known ones as were not really part of the live circuit and the city crowd, as they originated from a southern suburb. They only played a few shows before disbanding over both the need to flea the army to Berlin and the fact that their studio, that also served many other bands, was robbed (as in emptied).<\/p>\n

They also turned to other music, Tom Meyer specifically, though he still was able to put up a new setting (Neuland Studio) that provided some bands with recording capabilities (and was home to the production of the now legendary “Waterkant Hits” in 1983).<\/p>\n

What was so special with Hermann’s Orgie? Their not so (hardcore) punk sound? No, don’t think so – i think it was one of the first outfits to give\u00a0way to the use of the German language, something at least in Hamburg not really known: Local heroes Big Balls, Buttocks and Razors all tried to master English – with questionable quality…<\/p>\n

The verdict:
\n1977 \u2013 yes, i think they can claim that big time and more then others!<\/em>
\npublished by a cool label \u2013 sure, local and self-made, just class!<\/em>
\nfound in a cool shop \u2013 Konneckschen, where else?<\/em>
\ncatching sound \u2013 Back then for sure, today it sound “tame” but that is because i have been spoiled with 35+ years of listening to punk rock<\/em>
\nthe lyrics \u2013 i could relate to German better back then because my school english was poor, hence i loved the ones singing in a language i did fully understand. And this message was so simple and sound\u00a0(i felt home and “being like them”)<\/em><\/p>\n

My loveliest song from that one is coincidentally called “1977” and was recorded live in 1979. Back then to me “studio” or “live” did not make any difference, specifically on this one as it seems recorded without any audience audible:<\/p>\n
