History
End of 1986, learned native of idle law student HP Baxxter in Hanover keyboardist Rick J. Jordan, whose band had been dissolved Matzingers The beginning of the year to know about a newspaper ad. A few months later they founded together with Baxxters sister Britt Maxime and the founding member of The POX, Slin Tompson, her first band.
HP Baxxter later recalled in a radio interview:
Rick had with him in the basement of a kind of amateur studio. We named the then " exercise room " because it was just not a professional studio. We sat there every day and diligently composed in front of us and produced. At the time, we have already written their own songs. That was not so, that you thought, chose to cover something, but we did our own things. We sat at our computers and have recorded line by line. I have written lyrics and sung melodies. We have produced demos and have then also - as was formerly so common - sent to various record companies until we actually get some time with the label " Westside " in Darmstadt near Frankfurt a contract. After we got the record deal, we have all the songs again recorded in a major studio, and I often thought that the character that prevailed earlier in the demo version, unfortunately lost in the production in the big studio. From this we have also been able to learn a lot. Therefore, it is to this day so that we produce everything in our own studio itself and nowhere to go for mixing or pure can talk anyone there. We make from inception to final product manufacture everything ourselves
