EA80 - Der Mord fällt aus (self-released 1982)
First of all…I dont want to “decorate myself with someone elses feathers” (clumsy translation of a german saying…)…I got these tracks on Cd-Rom from a friend…sleeve scans are from there: http://www.punk-disco.com/
These `five songs´ is the first ep by EA80 from Mönchengladbach,a band that started in the late seventies and is still active today.They never signed to any record labels-at least concerning regular releases (the did contribute to several compilations).
Not sounding very spectacular,this ep was the beginning of a career that should put out a lot of albums of much higher musical quality,still keeping the style and allways featuring lyrics that were far beyond the typical “Deutschpunk” cliche´.As far as I know they never liked beeing interviewed or having photos of them released - nevertheless there´s quite a collection of fanzine articles on http://www.ea80.net/ (sorry…german language only…)
If it´s ok to post ep´s one doesn´t actually own him/herself I really would like to see this appearing on this site…
As a bonus there is “Einleben” from the EA80 vs.Klotz single or the EA80 CD “Punk”…

Don´t know much ´bout the things in this world
got an idea but don´t know if it fits
A stupid little world view made of 4-colour sheets,headlines and things your hear
labirynths of theories and too great words and finally even god that enlightens the dark
all those tiny lies and inconsistencies better taken with care and after all self-made deformed
Don´t know much ´bout the problems in this world
got my doubts but still don´t know what´s right
Maybe someday I`ll do research,travel to foreign countries
to get impressions that no one would take from me that soon
But supposably i`m gonna leave it to the little worries of mine
that often are trivial…but yet deadly…

IMO, this record is weak! Was Peter Swedenhammar in this band or his alter-egos Dylan and Erich!!!
Hey NiteOwl whats the deal bro? Just because you might be having a hardtime with a few of your friends please dont bring us into it. We dont even know these people and care not to get involved with your outside problems, please keep the slagging to yourself…thank you.
