Punk Front Interview
Here is our ninth interview in 2011. This interview was finished a 2 weeks ago, before their cancelled gig here. Thanks to Patrick who answered the questions !!!






1. At first, could you introduce yourself and your band?

Hey Tom! Punk Front are Martin at the drums, Stoffel vocals, Schmidt bass, Tim at the second guitar and me, Patrick at the first guitar.

2. Can you tell us anything about the history of your band? Why did you named just Punk Front?

Our history isn't very special. At this time we lived all in Berlin. It was a evening in a pub in Berlin with a lot of alcohol. Schmidt, Stoffel, Martin and me created our Punk band.
After the recording of our mini CD, Tim joined the band to play the second guitar.

3. How would you describe your music? Which bands influenced you the most musically and which bands do you like? Can you also write your current TOP FIVE of bands and their albums?

We play simply Punk music. We all listen so many kinds of music so it is a little bit difficult to say what influenced us. And I really can't make a TOP 5, give me a TOP 100 than maybe.



4. You have recently released the MiniCD "100% Hass" which is very successful in my opinion. Could you introduce the themes all songs individually please? Who made the lyrics and the music? Do you have also new songs?

Thank you! Yes, there is
100% Hass- It is a statement from us as a band against the red jerks, that they have to stay away.
Knüppeldicke is a song against the failure of the police.
Und Morgens Ruft Der Muezzin is a sarcastic written song about the muslim invasion of our European culture.
Fuck Crust...Yes I think the name say it all. A song about anti Germans and other left wing scum.
In Der Kneipe Zur Trockenen Kehle is a cover song from an old East German Punk band. It's about doing the same thing every day- go to work, go to a pub in the evening and see the same guys to have a drink and go home... It's about how boring life can be.
And at last Verraten & Verkauft. It is a song about unity and friendship to fight for a free homeland and a free Europe.

5. Are you satisfied with this MiniCD? What reactions have you received on it? Are you satisfied with the work of Oi! Ain't Red Records? How did you come in contact with this label?

Yes we are really happy with our work on this record and most reactions we get are really positive! We liked to work with Oi! Ain't Red Records and we are thankful that the label gave us a chance. I knew Jan from the before the label. I meet him at a concert and asked him if he had interested to release our CD.

6. Can you tell us anything about the current scene in Berlin? Is your city really as red as we hear? Are there any good bands with different views? Which bands from here can you advise for listening? Could you also introduce bands Elbroiber, Notlöhsung and Heimat Front a bit?

Yes, Berlin is really red! And you have really many immigrants here. But you have here nice places too. I think bands like Landser or now called Die Lunikoff Verschwörung is one of the most famous bands from here. Notlöhsung and Elbroiber are friends of us! They play nice German Oi!. Heimat Front is a band project and we want make a split with this guys. They play true and hard Oi!/punk.



7. How many gigs have you played in and with which bands? Have you already played outside Germany? What was your best and worst gig?

In the past we have not done many gigs, because we were to busy with work and family.
Till now we have only played 2 gigs. One in west and one in east Germany. Our better one was the gig in west Germany with Endstufe and Shaven Heads. We got a good feedback there! The other wasn't worst but a little bit chaotic. We played there with Elbroiber and Notlöhsung.
In your country it will be our first gig outside Germany, but I hope not the last.

8. I think you played the gig with Endstufe in 2010, right? Could you write an info about this gig and performances of the bands? How do you look at Endstufe? Which of their songs are best in your opinion and why?

Yes, the gig was really great! And we had a lot of fun playing with Endstufe and Shaven Heads. We like Endstufe very much. It is one of the real traditional and real Oi! bands from here! I like many songs of them.

9. I was very captivated that your punk crew likes to wear t-shirts with logos of RAC bands. I think you have had some problems with PC idiots or have even been labeled as Nazi Punks, haha :--) What experiences have you had with that?

Schmidt and me were punks in the past before we created this band, very often with our face on the internet. But it didn't interest me. They say we split the scene and we have to leave their scene. But these idiots forget that we never wanted to be a part of their scene.




10. Punx Not Red, excellent but often rejected motto on the punk scene in Germany. Can you tell me Patrick how is the life of politically incorrect punk in your country?

I think it is pretty much the same as the life of a politically incorrect skinhead. Only different is maybe that everybody knows you. Coz we don't have so many not PC punks here.

11. Your opinion about: a) Böhse Onkelz; What is your opinion about this legendary German band? Do you like their songs and which ones?

I like Böhse Onkelz very much! From the early stuff till their last CD. I grow up with this music.

b) Tattoo; Do you like tattoo? Do you have any favorite motives?

I love tattoos! But I don't have a favourite motive.

c) Football; Do you like this sport? Are there any clubs in Berlin which deserve to cheer up? What do you think about the hooligans scene?

Some of us like football in Berlin but not for me. When I go to football, I go to Bremen in west Germany. But that is a few years ago that I see my last football game.
I don't have a problem with the hooligan scene.

d) Beer; Do you like it or you prefer liquors? Which mark(s) of beer are best in your opinion?

Beer! I enjoy a good cold Becks! Here in east Germany, you get Pfeffi. It is liquour. I will bring you one when we see us in February!



12. You are going to play a concert in our country in February. Do you look forward to it? What can we expect from you on the stage and possibly after a concert at the table? :-)

We all look forward to the concert! You can expect real punkrock from Germany and a drunk band, haha, maybe under the table .

13. What do you know about the Czech republic? Do you know any Czech bands or zines?

For a few weeks I give a interview for your friend at Crime & Pride webzine. I really don't know much about your country! Too less to talk about that. But I hope I can change that in February!
I see here "The Normals?!" for a time...nice band!

14. Any last words? Would you like to greet anybody?

First, thank you Tom for your interest in our band!
We want to greet the Czech movement and hope to see a lot of you on the concert in Prague! Thank you for the interview Tom! We get drunk together in February!
So see you soon on the Czech soil !!! Certainly you will have to drink as much our beer as possible with us !!! :-)

Tattooed Mother Fuckers Interview

This interview with TMF was originally conducted by Yarbles in April of 2011. Check out their website here

---

1/ So, Tattooed Mother Fuckers, that’s a name that really grabs attention, tell us a little bit about the band?

What can I say about us really? Except that we are 4 misfits that reject the sheepish and blind ways of society and we struggle to accept any kind of authority and control upon us. We sing about life as we see it and back it up with what we consider some hard hitting music. We try to capture our aggression and create an atmosphere for the low life misfits that follow us, while sticking up two fingers at all those who attack, slander or hate us. We were never put on this earth to care or to please everyone, just to survive, and we will do that at any cost.

The band is made up of:

‘Disturbed Mother Fucker’, that’s me of course. I am the good looking one who can be found spewing out hatred on the microphone, and I am basically the man behind all the back room stuff like interviews, merchandise, and gig planning and so on. Apart from this I run ‘Mother Fucking Sounds’, I am involved in tattoo supply sales and a proud house father.

‘Deranged Mother Fucker’ is the guitarist and the man behind the tunes that make ‘TMF’, without him this band would never have existed. His anger comes out through his music writing and can also be heard through his backing growls. He is also a full time tattoo artist, an MC bike club member and a proud father.

‘Flash Mother Fucker’ is the man behind the drums and also the master of wowo’s at gigs and helps out with backing shouts. He is a karate instructor, a proud father, but sadly a Coventry City supporter. We hope you can forgive him for this like we do?

‘Hammered Mother Fucker’ is the last member of the band, and is actually our third bass player. We were lucky to recruit this musical genius, who has contributed to the bands recording and song writing. Other than ‘TMF’ he is also the main man behind ‘The London Diehards’, learning the ropes at recording (which he does well I must add), he’s some kind of computer nerd and proud father to four cats. His football team shouldn’t get a mention, but he is ‘West Ham’ through and through.

2/ I believe when TMF first started it was a bit of a sideline while various members took a little time off from their regular Bands, where you surprised how well TMF took off right from the very start?

It was never meant to be a band to begin with if I am honest about it. It was just a running joke with some people, but it kind of grew on me the thought of writing songs with an ‘I don’t give a fuck’ and ‘fuck you’ attitude. My old bands died many years before this if I am brutally honest and I think I just kept it alive to please others. But anyway, from the beginning this was my only interest and a mental outlet for my anger and I am shocked by how popular it became. We are no big stars, we ain’t got any big recording deal and we sure as hell don’t get any huge gig offers or cash from it, but with this band we’ve crossed boundaries and appealed to a wider crowd. We are happy just being who we are and we are so glad that a lot of people can relate to it also.



3/ How seriously do you, yourselves, take TMF, is it still a sideline, or a 'real' band in its own right?

It’s a real band in its own right, it is just a shame we didn’t start this band twenty years ago because we ain’t exactly spring chickens anymore, but back then we would have been wild. We don’t play too many gigs, but this was our intention from the beginning because we have busy life styles outside of the band and also we didn’t want play every other week. It would just get boring for the fans and also for us. But we will keep producing music and playing when we can and hopefully our noise and attitude will reach other people and places out there. This isn’t a rock n roll ego trip, we don’t write songs to please, dress to fit in, and this is us. What you see is what you get!

4/ You've made a few releases under the TMF Banner, how well have these been received amongst your 'new' fan base and the hardcore supporters of your previous Bands?

The support has been unbelievable from the first ‘TMF’ release all the way up until our last; we want to salute each and every person who has supported us in any way at all. There are no doubt a lot of people, who might just support us because of my past, and hey that is ok by me, but I hope them same people don’t just think this is a continuation of my older bands under a different name? This is something different for me and for the rest of the boys. Believe me when I say it, this is free and independent of anything political, right or left. I think a band should be able to stand on its own two feet, without promoters or political parties / organisations supporting them, just as I think political parties / organisations should be able to fend for themselves without using bands.

5/ Do you get a very positive reaction to your TMF material live as well?

The gigs are actually OK, sometimes we play to less than 100 people and this suits us fine, them people are there for the bands and to have a good time. The atmosphere is normally good, we would like to see more dancing, more blood on the dance floor, more football crowd sing a long, but we are happy as it is. We played at a ‘Live & Loud’ gig at the end of 2010 in Belgium and after that we decided no more of these big crowds crammed in like animals, it loses the atmosphere, and that takes away the enjoyment for us.

6/ One of the things I really like about TMF is you still can be bothered to get out and play Pubs and Clubs etc independently of any management or Festival organisers, do you prefer intimate Pub and Club gigs, or is this just the way it is?

Like I said before, we are more at home playing to a smaller crowd with the right mentality, people like us, people with the same attitude, people who really care about the scene. We could play big festivals to a 1000 people with nothing in common with us, what’s the point? We go it alone as life is less complicated this way, no one to answer to, no fucking rules to play by. We could only do this with the support of other bands such as ‘Skinfull’, ‘The London Diehards’, ‘Insane Youth’, ‘Bakers Dozen’ and all the others we’ve played with, and with the support of each and every person that turns up.

7/ Are we ever likely to see TMF playing a festival like "Rebellion" or the likes? Would you play if you were asked?

I think we would be stupid to turn it down if that chance ever arose, we’ve tried our best to get a shot at playing there but it seems we don’t fit the bill or image of today’s punk rock scene. It’s a shame because a lot of people want to see us play somewhere like this, a lot of friends attend this particular weekend and we know it would be great, but it seems there is a dictatorship these days that controls who is and who isn’t punk….. Sadly we ain’t P.C enough, for this and there are no apologies.



8/ As well as the Band, you also run your own Record Label, tell us a little about that?

The record label, ‘Mother Fucking Sounds’ is basically my little baby. I run it as a part time job but to be honest it is more of a hobby than a business and I plan to keep it this way. I have been a fanatical fan of music since my teens and love everything about Oi! punk and hardcore music and the underground scene that was spawned from this. Combined with hooliganism, gang violence and hate and bands with the bollocks to say fuck you instead of bowing their heads and towing the line, makes for bands I want to attract to the label. This label isn’t a big time money business, so bands looking for this should go and look in the direction of ‘Randale’ or other such outfits. Let’s keep the scene real eh, keep it where it belongs, outside of society, outside of the business world, but right in the faces of those who reject us.

9/ Is the plan to just make TMF releases or do you intend to release CD's etc from any other Bands?

Like I just said we will release any band with the bollocks to stick two fingers up, but still with the mentality to say ‘fuck you’, we like our bands real. No apologizing for who you are or how you live, not trying to get society to like us, bands with two feet on the ground. We’ve released the likes of:

Tattooed Mother Fuckers.

Disturbed Mother Fucker (my solo efforts).

Baker’s Dozen.
