EA80 is a German punk band founded in Mönchengladbach in West Germany in 1979. EA80’s music includes sophisticated lyrics that are written in German and rarely rhyme.[1][2] As a matter of principle, the band produces no merchandise or promotional material.[3] Since the beginning of the 1990s, they have given few interviews.[4][5][6] When they have granted interviews it has been on the condition that no recording of the interview be made[7][8] and that their answers will not be directly quoted.[5] On the band's official website, there only appears the name of the band, and no further information.[5] They prefer to advertise their rare concerts only with local flyers and by word of mouth, and have usually been able to sell-out concerts that way.[9]
EA80 have been continuously active since their founding and have released 13 studio albums.[10] Their albums are self-released because they object to contracts with record labels.[11] However their albums have been re-released and distributed by the German indie label Major Label, which has also released albums from the Boxhamsters, Razzia, and the East German punk band L'Attentat.[4] Their albums are highly regarded, and have been reviewed in Maximum Rocknroll,[12] Die Tageszeitung, and Ox Fanzine. Their album Zweihundertzwei (also written 202), released in 1990, was listed in Musik Express' 2023 "50 best punk albums of all time".[13] EA80 was featured in the 2016 book Beyond no future: cultures of German punk.[1] They were also mentioned in the 2022 book Culture from the Slums: Punk Rock in East and West Germany.[14]
