Disaster Area (band)
Disaster Area is a German punk band who have been around since the 1980s. They were in the Skate-punk genre. Background They were described by Pushead in Maximum Rocknroll as "Probably the first German skate-oriented band". Among the bands in Berlin trying to make a go of it, Disaster Area began in the 1980s. The nucleus of the group was the Thummerer brothers who started out as C&A. They didn't rehearse much and hardly played any gigs. The legacy of this band is just some songs on two tape samplers. The name for this group came from watching ''Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'' which featured a band called Disaster Area, the loudest band in the universe. They were described by ''Burn Your Ears'' as five guys dabbling in the Skate-punk genre who caused a stir in the late 1980s. They went through a series of lineup changes. By 1992 the lineup comprised Naughty on vocals, Norman on lead guitar, Scheune on guitar and vocals, Marky on bass and vocals, and Frusty on drums. They wer ...

Skate-punk
Skate punk (also known as skatecore and skate rock) is a skater subculture and punk rock subgenre that developed in the 1980s. Originally a form of hardcore punk that had been closely associated with skate culture, skate punk evolved into a more melodic genre of punk rock in the 1990s similar to pop punk. Since then, it has predominately featured fast tempos, lead guitar playing (including guitar riffs and guitar solos), fast drumming, and singing (sometimes including vocal harmonies). Occasionally, skate punk also combines the fast tempos of hardcore punk and melodic hardcore with the catchy hooks of pop-punk. 1970s and early 1980s punk rock bands like Buzzcocks, Descendents, Adolescents, Black Flag, and Circle Jerks paved the way for skate punk. Skate punk was pioneered in the 1980s by bands such as the Big Boys, Suicidal Tendencies, JFA, T.S.O.L., Drunk Injuns and Love Canal. Many early skate punk bands are part of the hardcore punk movement nardcore, which emerged in Oxna ...

"Stakeboard" aka "Skateboard (Uh Ah Ah)" is song that became a 1977 single for German group Copains and a single for singer Benny Schnier. Both versions made the charts that year. It has been covered by a multitude of artists since the original release. The song had a resurgence of interest the mid-2000s. Overview The song Skateboard was written by Hans-Ulrich Weigel, Frank Farian, Stefan Klinkhammer, and Roland Kaiser. Along with " Amigo Charlie Brown" and "Bin wieder frei", "Skateboard" brought Frank Farian considerable success. With the kids riding around on skateboards and being noticed by Roland Kaiser and Frank Farian, an idea for a song came about. It was Kaiser who suggested to Farian that a song should be made about the sport. The idea appealed to Farian and with Kaiser, Fred Jay and Hans-Ulrich Weigel, Farian composed Skateboard. It took some time for the song to catch on, but it became a success when it did. When Benny's version became a hit, it became more popular t ...
