Die Kassierer are a German punk rock band known for their satirical and humorous songs, often pushing the boundaries of good taste and political correctness. Formed in 1985 in Wattenscheid, which later became a part of Bochum, they quickly became noted within the punk scene for their provocative lyrics and high-energy performances. The group's lineup revolves around founding member and frontman Wolfgang Wendland, who is notable not only for his musical career but also for his foray into politics, including an unconventional run for federal office in Germany.

Throughout their multi-decade career, Die Kassierer have cultivated a dedicated following with their irreverent approach to music. Their songs frequently address taboo subjects and everyday concerns with a blend of humor and straightforwardness that has become their trademark. Albums like "Männer, Bomben, Satelliten" and "Musik für beide Ohren" showcase their unique style which combines straightforward punk riffs with Wendland's distinctive vocals and satirical lyrics. The band celebrated their enduring career with the release of "Haptisch - Ihre besten Aufnahmen aus 30 Jahren," a collection that encapsulates 30 years of their musical journey with fan favorites and seminal tracks. Despite their controversial content, Die Kassierer remain beloved by fans for their unapologetic embrace of punk's rebellious spirit and their role as irreverent commentators on German society.
