A milestone birthday is always an occasion for a brief review. Of course, this was also the case with the men of Dritte Wahl, who gave their first concert on October 24, 1988 in the Rostock / Evershagen school meals. While there were still many cover songs by Die Toten Hosen, the Goldenen Zitronen or the Sex Pistols in their repertoire at that time, the band today, after seven German-language albums, an English-sung 'Best Of' disc, two live records, three video and DVD releases and almost 1,000 concerts played, stands for hard and committed punk rock with driving beats, sawing guitars and lyrics, that are meaningful and critical, without slipping into phrases or platitudes.
