Genossen
Band, DE
Alternative
Genossen were founded in Reutlingen, Southwest Germany, in 1984 after the split up of "Die Alten". Virus (Voice), Schilli (Bass), Schneller (Guitar) and Matsch (Drums) was the first line-up of the band. The fast Hardcore-Punk of Genossen with its engaged, leftist german lyrics soon developped a big fan community. After several gigs all over Germany Genossen was the first Western punkband to play the socialist country of Hungary in 1985. The first 3 tapes got good reviews in European and US fanzines (Flipside, Maximum Rock'n Roll). This resulted in a 6-song-EP in 1988 on Empty Rec. On this EP MR-16 replaced Matsch on the drums. At the end of 1988 the line-up changed again with Klausi on drums and Markus on bass guitar. This line-up recorded another tape. In 1989 there was the last change in the line-up with Schilli again on bass and voice and Schneller on guitar and voice. They recorded the last tape "Das Böse" and the band broke up.
