Band | ||||||
Stopcox formed in 2000 in a mouldy rehearsal basement. From 2002 til 2007 the bandmembers were Daschke: Drums, Spange: Bass, Grobi: Guitar, Tobi: Vocals and Modlicha: Vocals. Since eraly 2007 Stopcox played without Modlicha. Our style is a mix somewhere between HC- and Anarcho-Punk. The lyrics are about typical left political issues as the state, religion, nationalism, capitalism etc. One of our main topics are animal-rights which are in our opinion left out much too often or, of course, are being ignored. | ||||||
Next to playing gigs we also released a few records. In 2002 we recorded our demo-tape containing 10 songs followed by our first vinyl LP "How to tell bad news..." in early 2004 in DIY no label style. 2005 we released a benefit for animal rights activists split 7inch with the the band Room101 "You fucking piece of shit" on Veganarchy Records. In the same year we put out the CD "Stopcox songs in bits and bytes" which contained exceptionally electro-remixes of our already recorded songs. In 2007 we contributed a song for an animal rights benefit CD-compilation called "Distopia's Demise", again on Veganarchy Records. In the first days of 2008, after one year of recording and mixing or better most of that time being slackers, we delivered our second longplayer, this time on CD only "Against", released on Yellow Dog Records and Plastic Bomb Records. |

Just two months later we played our last gig on 22. of February at the Kopi B-Day in Berlin. Grobi moved away from Stopcox hometown Berlin and therefore left the band. The remaining three bandmembers decided not to seek for a guitar-replacement, hence Stopcox is to be declared dead, or at least inactive. Nevertheless you can still order our records and stuff. Cheers here. |
