The prehistory already began in 1982 in the Leipzig-Lindenau Duncker-

quarter... Four school friends decided to express their world view of 15/16-year-olds in angry lyrics and noisy sounds in the then inevitable D.I.Y. mode. Although none of them had ever heard "real" punk rock before (or maybe that's why!), they created exactly this sound on their self-made instruments. With ironic self-criticism, the quartet labeled themselves as 0815 in order to preemptively let the air out of their performance. This was followed by an inspired rehearsal room friendship that lasted more than three years, but was not to survive the beginning of the "serious side of professional life".

After 1989, the few recordings circulated first in tape trader circles and later on the Internet.

"Heldenstadt Anders" (on Truemmer Pogo) was able to reveal this secret. After that

It went from strength to strength: two of the four original musicians were up for it again, the line-up was completed and a set of all the songs from 1982/83/84 was rehearsed for the release concert. In August 2019, everything was recorded for an album in Mike Stolle's legendary "Studiobunker", and on September 13, 2019, the reinvented 0815 finally took to the stage of the UT Connewitz for the "Heldenstadt Anders" festival.

But a new end was unthinkable. Current topics had long since been

musical preferences had led to a darker, deeper sound. The snotty teenage irony of the 80s no longer really matched the self-confidence they had gained. The search for a new self-description ended inevitably:

ASCHE is as concise as it is associative. The exploration of the multicolored grey

of this matter has become our business, and those who like it can let the phoenix greet them. The role models are all in our DNA, but mere imitation is boring.

We call it post-punk. What is it for you?
