D is for Die Toten Hosen

Die Toten Hosen is hands down one of my all time favorite German band. While they might be be an older band from 1982 they still have an intense German punk rock style that I love. I was actually first introduced to them back in my freshmen year of high school by my German teach and I instantly fell in love with there sound. Just the fact they're still together and stay true to their roots and that they donate a lot of money to their home town of Düsseldorf is just amazing.

And Again you can really she their growth as artist from there debut album Opel-Gang which only took 10 days to record to their latest album In Aller Stille which was released November 14th 2008. As you listen to Die Toten Hosen album you can really see the change and growth in music style. Die Toten Hosen originally started out doing slightly more comical songs and album, but they have been slowly switching over to more serious and melodic music. Just check out the difference between the song "Schwarzer Mann" from their debut album and "Wir Bleiben Stumm" from their latest album.
