Photo cap from an early TOURETTE SYNDROME gig at the „Battle of the Bands 2004“ Fest at the G18 featuring a handful of (at the time) newer Bremen Punk Bands from the DIY anarcho underground. Fritze (spiky behind me) and myself also performed with 14“GENERAL that same night but i think 14“G was still under the moniker „THE RANTERS“ named after some sort of „medieval punks“ … good times! The G18 was one of the oldest Bremen Squats until we collectively bought the House with massive help from the „Rental-house-Syndicate“.
Just a few weeks ago some people squatted a house in Bremen Neustadt and managed to stay a little over two weeks. It might sound like a short time but with the ongoing repression here it‘s almost impossible to squat anymore but important to keep the flame going.

anyway… for you Kids: TOURETTE SYNDROME was a band made up by Tati, Fritze, Kautschuk, Ballo and me….playing old school thrashpunkwhatever.

Crappy capture but very little from this Band is documented.

Spend my Saturday evening assembling the A.F.K. „Gift“ 7“ E.P and today getting all pre-orders ready for shipping tomorrow morning.

There’s a few copies of the Ltd. white vinyl version still available! Link in bio!

Three years after their “Another Pair of Eyes” LP got released, Hamburg’s steamroller-punk faction returns with a new 4 track 7” EP. While still delivering their household brand of head splitting raw Hardcore PUNK, you also might discover a slight departure from the usual A.F.K. if you’re familiar with the band. But don’t you worry... since this world has turned into an even more blood soaked and hopeless gibbering mess as it already was, we’re still going full on cave-punk style here... just as you expect!

These 4 songs will only be available on this vinyl 7” until further notice and is limited to a 300 press run.

70 copies on White Vinyl + + + 30 copies on Yellow Vinyl (exclusive available from AFK gigs only!) and 200 copies on black vinyl.

Comes with Lyrics sheet/mini poster including Artwork by Andi AFK. Cover Art by Juan Ospina (MURO, FINAL, AYUCABA). Recorded & Mixed at Kuz Karnak, June 2025 by Felix Margraf.

Happy 52th Birthday to Marc “KØK” Köhler… best friend, incredible artist, raging loony and Bass player of the mighty WORLD CHAOS. Miss you a lot, especially these days. Wherever your spirit roams… have fun and rest in happiness!

Ok, and one more for the Algorithm because FB/INSTA told me that my ratings are crap...still! Can you believe it? Well, I think that goes both ways, anyway: Here’s what we call an Oakland/Bremen-stew or BOB-Stew (you decide) : Taken at the Cross Stitched Eyes first US Tour send off BBQ 15.05.2010 at someones house.

Recipe consists of (left to right): one Dino, one Jake, one Nina, one Jason, one Pete Roadie and one idiot in the middle! Peace! Miss you!

PROVOKED from Minneapolis, MN playing the Friese, Bremen, Germany 19.09.2003. - Packed, drunk, soapy sweaty mayhem with IN THE S**T from Wales on the same bill. I remember the struggle we had to put the old geezer who was driving the welsh punks to bed after the gig because they had to leave at stupid o’clock in the morning... and when we arrived at the boozer (Rum Bumpers) he sat there at the bar with a massive glass of cider.Hahaha... Great people, great friendships to this day!

This gig was also my first gigposter I basically botched together on the a cranky Laptop at someones living room because I was without a steady place during that time and slept here and there on friends couches…

UNDER THE GUN (London, UK ) playing at the Friese, Bremen 24.10.97 - and yes, despite what it says on the photo, I am pretty sure it was the 24th.

UTG was an obscure phenomenon in the ‘90s DIY punk underground. They played several tours through the central european and eastern european Squats during the early nineties and always pulled off an amazing gig with their danceable fusion of Dub/Reggae/Folk/PUNK not unlike IT! but with a more folk punk touch and a Violin player very up front... fully energetic and amazing. Just like bands such as Post Regiment, UTG managed to have the entire bloody venue dancing and jumping and celebrating and what not... years and years only equipped with one T Shirts design, some patches (from Poland haha) and a Cassette on their merch table. They finally released an album via NNNW on CD in 1999 or 2000 (?) entitled “Homeland”, but then disappeared soon after.

Their cassette releases are probably among the most sought after Punk recordings of the nineties. I still got my (bootleg) Tape they sold at that gig as well as the “Homeland” cassette version... wonder how to find members from this band. Any leads?

I’m devastated, shocked and saddened to just hear about the passing of Arto Hietikko.

He was a genuine and supportive person and a true punk-rocker by heart. Believing in the spirit of DIY PUNK through decades and beyond. Losing most of his belongings in a house fire, but never gave in. Such an incredibly strong character.

Arto was an icon of the Finnish punk scene and with Jantsa (RIP) the backbone of Toinen Vaihtoehto Fanzine (Finlands MRR) and a massive pillar of the Puntala Rock crew. He was the only person my band Cross Stitched Eyes ever granted an interview for the zine where he had to struggle against us difficult idiots. Every time we meet afterwards i had to apologise… in a funny way. I saw him one last time at Puntala 2024 when Ex-Dom played.

My deepest condolences and love to his Family especially his Partner and his Son. And all of his friends.

Arto, in case you meet Jantsa and Tero on your journey... tell them i say “Hi!”... maybe start a new zine?

…Rest in punk my friend 🖤 u loads.

23 year old me with AOB (Anger Of Bacteria) playing the Südanlage in Gießen, Germany 1997. - Legendary gig with HEADACHE from Leeds…what crazy evening. Unfortunately almost no photos exists from the HEADACHE set because the whole place was in motion and photos were „analog“.

Tack så mycket Joakim Bergman … (from SCUM BRIGADE, DIASPORA, YUPPIECRUSHER and so many other great Bands from the nineties and really 2K’s) … for sending me these photos - last one is the only useable pic from the HEADACHE set I fear.

More blasts from the past… COLD DEATH was a Deathrock/Post-Punk/Gothpunk Band I was playing Bass in along with friends from BOMBENALARM, DOOMTOWN and (nowadays) a Band named (DOLCH). - Fun times… like CSE a bit early for the Postpunk/Deathrock revival at that time. We only recorded a Demo which is still streamable and downloadable via the RNR band camp. Here’s the 4 piece version of COLD DEATH (without Manuel) playing Gießerstraße in Leipzig 27.02.2009 together with INSUICIETY, INFEKCJA and IMAGES. Manuel still played guitar with the latter and joined COLD DEATH shortly after on second guitar. Sometimes I’m still dreaming of a short reunion for a laugh... or a few laughs.
