CHANNEL RATS, known for the legendary split LP with R.A.F.Gier, as well as for various samplers including the Sauerkraut + Sm?rrebr?d and the Waterkant Hits. 13 songs composed of studio, demo + live material and compilation tracks, recorded between '82 and '87. The songs show a "down and dirty" approach of the traditional Hamburg school. Hardcore/ punk like most bands in this genre did back then. Raw and brutal stop. The whole thing is then completed with an extensive 12 sided full color booklet with liner notes, band history and previously unpublished pictures.
