Dritte Wahl is a German-language punk rock band from Rostock, formed in the late 1980s. The band plays German punk with distinct metal influences and sings very direct, politically militant, left-wing lyrics, which led to the usual state repression in East Germany. In 1996, Dritte Wahl released their third album, "Nimm drei" (Take Three). It was produced in Braunschweig at Whiteline Studio by Uwe Golz (also guitarist for Daily Terror) and Uwe Rust. "Nimm drei" marked a significant step towards greater professionalism for the Rostock band. The powerful album stands out sonically from their two earlier works, "Fasching in Bonn" (Carnival in Bonn, 1992) and "Auge um Auge" (An Eye for an Eye, 1994). It is characterized by very groovy and guitar-driven songs. This is accompanied by a constant call-and-response vocal performance from the two frontmen Marko »Busch'n« Busch (vocals, bass) and Gunnar Schröder (guitar, vocals).
