Mad Monster Sound [Germany]

 Mad Monster Sound was a German band that formed in the late 1980s in the "Unicorn Era". They started as a punk band but they played ska and other things. They ran the gamut between punk, ska, new wave, anarcho punk/ska, punk reggae, and even a bit of metal and skiffle. They alternated between male and female vocals and also between English and German. They recorded their first album in 1989. The A-Side was pure punk. The B-Side was pure ska. (I remember that when I was younger I sang "Come on come on all you bastards" but that's not what he's singing. It's "Come on come on all you Busters"). Long-time followers of this blog know that I am no big fan of bands recording cover songs but their song "Moonstomping" is actually original. It is a cover of "Skinhead Moonstomp" but they added their own lyrics to it. I approve. 

 They stopped performing in the mid 90s but came back in the year 2000 with a mini-album called "Ten Years Later" that really did pick up where they left off. It's as good as their earlier releases. 

This is the post I was supposed to make last weekend but I didn't post it because my scanner is failing and the scans in this post are very low-resolution and probably the worst scans I've ever presented on this blog. I was going to try to re-do them but the new scans were no better. It's not about the scans though, is it? It's about the music.  And the music sounds great as far as I'm concerned.
