RANOLA s/t - LP

RANOLA as a band was formed by two thirds from the remains of the BODY SNATCHERS. Micka, Jack and Andreas grew up in the same street and have been close friends since childhood.

Shortly afterwards, the three were joined by 'the boy' and 'the saw', who attended the same school as Jack and Andreas. One of the things that made these two stand out was that they spent the big break in the midst of the other pupils, standing forehead to forehead, in silence. Junge had been the front man of EA80 since 1979, Sägee's guitar-percussion technique gave him his name, and both of them wrote and designed hip 'punk fanzines' like 'Jungen + Technik' or 'Das M.O.B.'. The band played in the following line-up from the foundation to the break-up: Jack Kremers - vocals, toy trumpet Micka Mohr - guitar Andreas Hülsen - drums Michael(Säge) - guitar Martin Kircher(Junge) - bass, vocals on 'Blumen
