Front

This album was just a rumour. For decades, it had haunted the stories of those years when German music was in a mood of optimism as an unfulfilled promise. Which ultimately suited the band responsible for it, called Front, whose members had never given a single interview, were reluctant to be photographed and remained phantoms. As is so often the case in pop culture, the story began in England. Back at the end of the seventies, when a generation of young and wild people were tearing rock music apart. Experts called it punk, later post-punk.

In Munich, Düsseldorf, Berlin and the Hanseatic city of Hamburg, the search for such a new music movement began in rehearsal rooms and on concert stages.
