Editor's note

Fertig, Los! and Rio Reiser's Hamburg punk spirit

A German band from the late '70s whose songs carried political weight and a direct emotional pull.

Start with 'Wenn Du Mich Brauchst' for their signature sound, then try 'Der Moment' for one of their quieter moments. Both songs have kept a place in German memory.

Their 1983 song 'Wenn Du Mich Brauchst' became their most recognizable track, reaching listeners well beyond Hamburg's punk scene. Reiser's lyrics often carried political weight, which made the band a complicated presence in German music. Songs like 'Der Moment' and 'Augen Zu' showed their range beyond any single genre.

Fertig, Los! formed in Hamburg in 1979 with Rio Reiser as frontman. They released albums like 'Nur Ein Hauch' and 'Feuerzeug' in the mid-80s before stopping after Reiser died in 1996.

Archive material and source history

Fertig, Los! formed in Hamburg in 1979, with Rio Reiser as their frontman. The band came out of the city's punk scene, though their sound wasn't strictly punk. Their 1983 song 'Wenn Du Mich Brauchst' became their most recognizable track, reaching listeners well beyond their original scene.

Reiser's lyrics and public statements often carried political weight, which made the band a complicated presence in German music. Their concerts sometimes turned into platforms for his views. They released albums like 'Nur Ein Hauch' and 'Feuerzeug' in the mid-80s, and songs like 'Sie Ist In Mich Verliebt' and 'Augen Zu' showed their range.

The band stopped after Reiser died in 1996. Their music, particularly the directness of 'Wenn Du Mich Brauchst' and the quieter moments on songs like 'Der Moment,' has kept a place in German memory, more for its specific feeling than for fitting neatly into any one genre.
