Anon: I’ve probably bought this 7″ when you were still in your diapers.

I love Abwarts, shame I never heard them when I was younger then I would have liked them even more. Alas, better late than never. Well, how about adding a little sneaky link to http:www.punksishippies.com on the site now Erich? Huh?

Yep, Fernando – you are right. I’ve posted this before, but funny, when I checked it couple days ago, I couldn’t find it anymore.
4 more days and the exams are over. It’s been getting a fucking drag, I tell you.

Hi, how’s the exams going? Funny, I think you had this thingy posted before (3 tracks) but was the text the same? Ill check later. I’m an Abwärts fan since the 1st time I heard them. It’s a shame that there’s no discography available (methinks). I guess the double CD you’re mentioning is “Breaking news – 40 Hits von Anfang bis heute” but it doesn’t have but 5 songs from their Amok-Koma album (their masterpiece, isn’t it?).
In this blog:

the “Roboter in der Nacht” 45 can be found, as well as a 1988 EP and a live 1982 gig (not very good sounding). The Abwärts site has some downloadable files too.
Yes, Frank Z continued with that terror theme, check their 2004’s “Terror beat”.
