English-Bandbio

In autumn 1988, still in the Communist East German underground culture, the three boys from Rostock – Gunnar (voc/g), Busch’n (voc/bg) and Krel (dr) – played their first gig in the Rostock/Evershagen school canteen. In ironic reference both to their own musical talents, and to the social status of anyone with a rebellious streak, they called themselves „DRITTE WAHL“, (Third Choice’). A rough mix of covers (among others: Die Toten Hosen, Die Goldenen Zitronen, The Sex Pistols) and their own songs had its own appeal from the very start! They powerfully combine elements of punk and metal with strongly expressive lyrics in a way few bands can. Playing live, the band developed into a real „competitor“. An honestly communicated attitude to life, full of lyrical and musical dynamism, mixes with the wild pogo-dancing in front of the stage. Extended tours through all parts of Germany and also abroad (so far concerts have taken them to Holland, Belgium, Austria, Italy, Spain, and Switzerland, as well as to the Czech Rep., Serbia, Croatia, Slovakia and Hungary) have made DRITTE WAHL known, even beyond the borders of their own country. After six regular albums, two live records, various single releases and about 600 concerts, „tooth for tooth“ came out in June 2004, a kind of English-language ‘Best Of’ LP/CD, with songs from every creative period the band had gone through. In January 2005, the band suffered a heavy blow. On 17.1.2005, their bassist and original member, Marko Busch’n Busch, died after prolonged, severe illness. It quickly became clear to Gunnar and Krel, however, that they should go on with the band and finish the recordings they had begun for the new album. In Stefan (voc/bg) they found a new man for the bass, a worthy replacement for Busch’n. In September 2005, „Fortschritt“ was released, DRITTE WAHL’s ‘cursed’ seventh German album.
