after
GROWING MOVEMENT split up one of their 2 guitarists, the basser and their original drummer Max teamed up with a new singer and
NIPPER were born. where
GROWING MOVEMENT have always tried to do it N.Y.-style
NIPPER were more what you´d call
POSI-CORE. this is their 1st CD called
PSALMS OF PURIFICATION (before you ask: no, they weren´t S.E.!) which was released by
BAD INFLUENCE rec. it has 7 tracks, one of them being a live, and the problem is that they recorded the instruments in their rehearsal room but didn´t manage to record the vocals in a way they didn´t sound unlistenable so the went to Chris Void in Munich and did them with his help. I know that this guy knows how to record a
HARDCORE ba
nd so I guess it´s cause of the way the instruments were recorded that music and vocals sound divided and therefore this CD lacks power!
NIPPER weren´t around that long as Waldi, the bassplayer dropped out of the scene all of a sudden and moved back to his parents! Max and Jürgen wen´t (back) to
GROWING MOVEMENT & USE TO ABUSE and their singer Pat and some others formed a band that would later be known as
DRIVING THE SALT! that´s why the 7" that followed this CD is limited to 13!
this 7" should follow their PSALMS OF PURIFICATION CD on BAD INFLUENCE Rec. but somehow this 7" wasn't recorded under a lucky star. it was supposed to be released on vo
calist Pat's label that was called BARRACUDA Rec. before but as Pat didn't like the old name anymore he changed it to RADIATION STAR Rec. and as the 7" was already in the pressing plant (with the old name on the label) he made stickers with the new label to cover it. that was the first thing that went wrong but more, that I can´t remember anymore, were to follow and finally NIPPER split up and Pat destroyed the 7"es with the exception of 13 7"es of which he gave one to me. it has 5 tracks of what is called POSI-CORE in the same style as the tracks on their CD, STAGNATION which was as a live-recording on the CD was re-recorded for this 7".
