Sumpfpäpste

First being a side-project of the legendary Reutlingen based hardcore punk band "Genossen", in 1986 Sumpfpäpste became a real band. After the first demotape, which sold quite a few, the band improved its sound and got faster and harder. In 1988 Sumpfpäpste released their second demo produced in the fully professional "Marquee Studio". The tape got very good reviews in "Maximum Rock'n Roll", "Flipside" and the Dutch "Metal Hammer". Gigs followed all over Germany, Belgium and Hungary and Sumpfpäpste were offered a record deal by "We Bite Rec." and the "Marquee Studio" as producer. In 1990 "See what it is" was released and became a classic of German punkrock. In 1995 Sumpfpäpste recorded another demotape, "You will always stay", which became the last recordings with singer Micha, who preferred to change sides and became a concert manager in Stuttgart. With new energy and a new line-up the band wrote new songs and rearranged the existing older titles. After another change in the line-up, Sumpfpaepste stabilized and were ready to gig again and record their first CD in 2000. In the same year Reutlingen`s football team entered the Second Bundesliga and Sumpfpäpste payed their tribute with a fansong on the Mini-CD "SSV 05".
