Bots – Vintage Vinyl LP Aufstehn (Musikant, Stereo)

With "Aufstehn" (Stand Up) , released in 1981, The Bots created an album deeply rooted in the German-language protest and singer-songwriter scene. The record contains socially critical and political lyrics that garnered significant attention at the time. Musically, the album combines rock arrangements with catchy melodies and conveys a clear message: a new beginning, solidarity, and resistance.

The album was created in collaboration with well-known authors such as Günter Wallraff , Wolf Biermann , and Henning Venske , whose texts were set to music by the Bots. This made "Aufstehn" not only a musical work but also a historical document of the early 1980s, addressing social injustices.

Historical background

The Bots were founded in the Netherlands in the 1970s and quickly made a name for themselves in Germany as a political rock band. With their German lyrics, which were often translations or interpretations of Dutch originals, they reached an audience that was looking for authentic, critical voices.

"Aufstehn" is one of the band's most important albums because it solidified their role as the musical voice of the protest movement. Songs like "Aufstehn" or "Wir sind frei" are an expression of a time when music was not just entertainment, but also a social statement.
