The first official reissue of the legendary “BÄNG” album by Birth Control—on CD for the first time since 1997 and on vinyl for the first time since its original 1982 release (excluding a rare 1983 French edition).Fully remastered in 2025 and enhanced with bonus tracks, never-before-released live material, liner notes, and rare photos.Recorded in the early summer of '82 by Bernd Noske (vocals/drums), Bruno Frenzel (guitar/vocals), Ulrich Klein (keys), Jürgen Goldschmidt (bass), and Stefan Linke (guitar), “BÄNG” turned out to be the swan song of this iconic band lineup.Returning to a more direct, powerful rock style after their progressive era, Birth Control didn’t chase trends—even with the rise of Neue Deutsche Welle and synth-pop. Instead, they stayed true to their roots. Frenzel’s lyrics dive deep into dystopian themes, visually echoed by the album’s iconic cover: an atomic blast under Marilyn Monroe’s skirt.Ignored at the time, today “BÄNG” is a fan-favorite cult classic—finally restored in all its raw, rebellious glory.
