TECHNYCOLOR- Bunker, c/w Tot 77 (Another Swiss Label, Switzerland, 1979)

technycolor_front.jpgtechnycolor_back.jpg“Stammheim macht frei” – weird, provocative lyrics from this swiss band from Geneva, in the french speaking part of the country. TECHNYCOLOR had another 7″ after this one, I’ve been told, but it seems to be quite weak. This first 7″ is however one of the top ’79 singles, in my opinion. It’s crazy when you hear how varied and “experimental” Punk was when the first wave was about to abate. “Bunker” is a hit, but the flipside song, “Tot 77″, is a total KBD-type hymn. Quirky and crazy, it’s a miracle to me why this has never been on one of these comps (or has it?). One of the rare songs that get better and better towards the end, until they have you jump around. Insane!
Don’t know absolutely nothing to tell about TECHNYCOLOR. I’ve first heard “Bunker” on a local radio show long time back, but didn’t like it in my HC days.
One of my top finds from today’s record fair. Been looking for this monster for many years now, and since I’m so happy having finally found a copy, I’m sharing it right away. Enjoy, bastards.

    I never knew much about swiss punk but it seems to me there were some AWESOME bands in the 70s! TNT, JACK AND THE RIPPERS and now this. Phantastic job you’re doing here!

    Nice score Erich! Both tracks are really really good but I have to go with Tot 77 as the winner. Bunker have been comped on Spring Time In Belsen.

    Aufwiedersehen.

    the fact it is sung in french adds a charm to it
    cool one and even in the KBD universe not much raved about (possibly cos of its lim.ed.`ness)
    the lyrics are special it seems. other contemporary
    punks from geneva YODLER KILLERS also recommended (sole 7″,also in 1979) ,at least musically

    a bit more difficult,a kind of philolosphyyy
    tot77, lyrics is a bit overwise, well, nazis and their vaterland, basic was, they all hated each other in the early 30 ´,yeah it could happen in any country (and still does) but the german way was to do it perfect.
