PVC

PVC is a German punk band founded in 1977; it was the first German punk band in West-Berlin, and mainly wrote song lyrics in English. PVC's song Wall City Rock, became iconic in the rock music scene in Berlin, and is a well-known anthem of 70s punk rock in general. Their song "Berlin by Night" has been covered by many other German punk bands, including Slime. Both of these songs have been called all-time classics. On August 6, 1977, PVC put on the first official punk concert in Berlin. PVC's first band photo, which is also the cover photo of guitarist Gerrit Meijer's memoir, was taken at the Berlin Wall near Checkpoint Charlie in 1978.
