Spermbirds was a German punk band from Kaiserslautern. Formed in 1982 by members of melodic punk rock band Die Walterelf among American G.I. stationed in Germany, named Lee Hobson Hollins, they created a fast Hardcore Punk group that gained popularity inside as well as outside of Germany. Their most successful album was named Something To Prove mixing influences by many American Hardcore Punk bands with snotty and furious lyrics. They split up in 1988, but reformed later in 1990 releasing a number of full-length albums and touring up to this date.

First 2 LPs are killer (STP being their best album and definately a German HC classic), but my fave Spermbirds song ever is "Only A Phase" off Common Thread - totally great with really awesome lyrics!!!

Something to Prove ist DER deutsche HC-Klassiker. Großartige Band. Bis Lee Hollis durch einen Idioten ersetzt wurde.
