Normahl

Normahl (written: NoRMAhl, meaning "normal" in German) is a German punk band formed in 1978 in Winnenden near Stuttgart by five high school students.[1] Their music is upbeat and typically classified as punk pathetique ('pret-punk', or 'fun-punk') as well as Deutschpunk. Their lyrics sometimes deals with themes like sex, drugs, and partying. However Normahl's songs also notably address left-political themes such as police violence, xenophobia, nationalism, anarchy, capitalism, and resistance to fascism, often in a humorous way.
