Welcome to one of punk rock's most peculiar and best hidden secrets: Rokker! Their oddball 1980 album on Owl Records with 10 enthusiastic raunchy lo-fi cuts is one of the definitive punk rock mystery albums out there sold for absurd prices. The songs of the album have been traded on DIY cassette compilations for ages but very rarely you met someone who had the actual record. The relentless teenage symphonies on the platter deal about being a Rokker having to put up with all the wankers out there, tall sugar girls and punk rock themes like anger in classroom, being disconnected or having the rock fever. The records alltime outright überhit 'Who's A Punk? Your
Mother!' is the bizzare portrayal of the American middle
class "happy family" in the '70s. Listening to these hymns
no one would ever think that Rokker actually had two
"careers" up their sleeves in parallel: A country'n'blues
band in the bright light of day and a fierce punk rock band
by night. This double burden took its toll somewhen in the
early '80s and Rokker passed over into the happy hunting grounds. A fate shared with so many great bands of the '70s and '80s.
