Spermbirds
Spermbirds are a German punk band from Kaiserslautern. Formed in 1983, by the members of the melodic punk rock band Die Walter Elf (including an American G.I. stationed in Germany as vocalist), they created a fast hardcore punk group that gained popularity in Germany and beyond.
Spermbirds’ most successful album was their 1986 debut, Something to Prove, which drew influence from many American hardcore punk bands. The cover features a picture of Cerebus the Aardvark created by Canadian comic book author Dave Sim. Sim made mention of the album in his widely column in Cerebus, saying that although the band had not obtained permission to use his artwork, he would not harass them with legal action.
Spermbirds split up in 1988 but reformed in 1989. In 2023, the band announced on their website that Spermbirds would no longer be performing together.
