Grauzone

Grauzone was a Swiss band that became a beacon of the post-punk and new wave movement in the late 1970s and early 1980s, best known for their hit single "Eisbär" ("Ice Bear"), which became a staple in the underground music scene and continues to resonate with audiences today. The group was composed of brothers Stephan Eicher and Martin Eicher, as well as Marco Repetto, Christian "GT" Trüssel, and Claudine Chirac, each contributing to the experimental sound that defied the norms of the time. Although their career as a band was relatively brief, spanning from 1980 to 1982, Grauzone's influence extended far beyond their years of activity, leaving an indelible mark on the wave of Swiss and German new wave (Neue Deutsche Welle) music.

In celebration of their legacy, "Grauzone (40 Years Anniversary Edition)" served as a testament to the band's enduring appeal, including their self-titled album "Grauzone" with additional tracks like "Raum," "Träume Mit Mir," and "Moskau." The anniversary edition provided both long-time fans and newcomers alike a comprehensive look into the band's innovative blend of punk ethos with electronic music elements. Even though their discography is modest, the unique sound of Grauzone continued to inspire and influence generations of musicians and music aficionados, solidifying them as cult heroes in the annals of European post-punk history.
