Deutschpunk!

[Widerstand]

The term has a couple of meanings. If we ignore the shitty one which means all Punk with German lyrics, there is still the original use of the term, which referred to a (West) German Punk sound close to Hardcore Punk, but with occasional traces of Street Punk, Oi! or Metal.

Ton Steine Scherben arguably started it all (at least ideologically), even though they're much closer to (Prog/60s) Rock than to Hardcore Punk:

QT2Hk88qIwQ

(Translation of the title: Destroy what destroys you)

The Deutschpunk band often referred to as a "legitimate heritage" of TSS is Slime, also my main point of reference for Deutschpunk (and also the band that got me into Punk when I was like 14 :o):

ID4lstARK0w

(Translation of the title: Germany has got to die (so we can live))

cY6fC7oivcM

(Translation of the title: Autumn of pigs)

Another band I like a lot is Canal Terror, which has a more Hardcore edge (played with the Dead Kennedies as far as I know):

yZwXPwuAn3k

(Translation of the title: Public enemy // Enemy of the state)

There's tons of other Deutschpunk, and the genre itself is rather diverse.

Did bands like Canal Terror develop at the same time as American hardcore punk bands? It sounds really similar.

This stuff is cool.

I know tons of intense German bands, but I don't think they fit the specific category (the latter description) you gave.

On topic: good post. Would like to hear more. I really liked that 2nd Slime song.

Yeah, that canal terror song is from the early 80s.

Here's some more of the early Deutschpunk bands (not much a fan of this one, but it's big):

And more of the later Slime:

And some more recent party music :p (seriously awesome song at protests)

I'm a huge fan of Deutschpunk.

And my all time favorite band:

The singers new (Bad co) project isn't too bad either:

I'm probably gonna get some Slime, this band is sick.

[ed miliband]

I like a lot of German post-punk/industrial/etc. I don't really listen to straight-ahead punk anymore but I'd probably enjoy this stuff.

70s/80s Germany had an incredible music scene though, all things considered.
