Die Skeptiker

German Punk Rock Band

Die Skeptiker is a German punk band that was formed in East Berlin in 1986. The band is known for its politically charged lyrics and its role in the punk scene of the former German Democratic Republic (GDR). Fronted by singer Eugen Balanskat, Die Skeptiker became one of the prominent voices of dissent in East Germany, using their music to express criticism of the political system. After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the subsequent reunification of Germany, Die Skeptiker continued to produce music and perform, maintaining their reputation as a significant force in the German punk scene. Over the years, they have released several albums and maintained a loyal fan base. Their style combines punk's raw energy with intelligent lyrics, often addressing social and political issues.
