Rawside is a hardcore punk band hailing from Germany, known for their ferocious sound and politically charged lyrics. They formed in the early 1990s and quickly established themselves within the punk scene with their visceral performances and unwavering anti-establishment message. Over the years, Rawside has become synonymous with a brand of punk that is unapologetically raw and aggressive, as they take on topics ranging from state oppression to social injustice.

Rawside's discography is a testament to their longevity and continued relevance in the punk scene. Notable among their releases is "Police Terror," which has seen multiple iterations, including the "Police Terror (25th Anniversary)" edition, celebrating a quarter century since its initial impact. With other hard-hitting albums like "Your Life Gets Crushed," the intense "(Nie) wieder frei," and "Outlaw," the band has cemented their legacy as purveyors of hardcore punk with a conscience. As their track "Staatsgewalt" suggests, Rawside is relentless in their critique of government power, and "The Police Terror" compilation further adds to their repertoire of protest music that has inspired a generation of punk enthusiasts seeking to challenge the status quo.
