LP Abwärts – V8

1995 album by Hamburg punklegend Abwärts with the lineup Frank Z., Elf (Slime), Marcel Zürcher (Die Krupps) and Jochen Hansen (Rio Reiser Band). After various major label albums, Abwärts were back on the indie Slime Tonträger label and released a sarcastic, obscene, bitterly eviland cynical album that was far too little noticed. Between cynicism, deep black humor and Bukowski-references “V8” tells wonderfully disgusted loser stories. There was only one vinyl-pressing of “V8” in the 1990s after the album runs out and the band splits up. Years ago Abwärts reunited with a new lineup including Rod of Die Ärzte. Now finally repressed with restored artwork, 350g cover, textinlay and downloadcode.
