Japanische Kampfhorspiele - Fruher War Auch Nicht Alles Gut Review

Japanische Kampfhorspiele
Fruher War Auch Nicht Alles Gut
Bastardized Recordings
8/10



Bet you a dollar you can’t say it. Japanische Kampfhorspiele. Go ahead, try to say it. Now try to say the title of the record. Fruher War Auch Nicht Alles Gut. What in the Hell is that supposed to mean?

Back in the day, we listened to bands with cool names like Twisted Sister and Motley Crue. These days, kids are listening to bands called Japanische Kampfhorspiele. Seriously. What in the hell is that? These kids are listening to shit and they can’t even say the name of the band the right way. Does it get you any action to step over by the pop machine at school and say “Hey baby, let’s skip the next class and listen to some Japanische Kampfhorspiele?” Because that used to work with Motley Crue every time.

Metal kids used to don their leather vests and studded wristbands to play air guitar and bang their heads singing “Running With The Devil.” Judging from this collection of various recordings from 1998-2002, what kids are playing air guitar to these days would be tunes like “Sich Fur Technik Interssierende Grosse Jungs” and “Alle Wollen Gut Aussehen [Und Tun Es Nicht].” What the hell?

So, the bastards are at it again and this time around, they’ve thrown all of the old shit from Germanic grindpunk hipsters JaKa onto one neat little CD. 32 songs that will grind your face off faster than a rotating wire wheel. Consider this a history lesson of one of the more inventive batch of grind practitioners going. JaKa has always kept the punk spirit alive in their music and this is your chance to see where cool records like “Hardcore To End The First World” came from. Now try to say the title of the record.
