DAF, No More
DAF - ‘Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft’ - is a band that can be counted amongst the pioneers and influences for such genres as Electro Punk, Techno or the so called ‘Neue Deutsche Härte’. The unpolished, raw sound they’ve developed should as well be defining for the emerging EBM genre. The album ‘Die Kleinen und die Bösen’ from 1980 can be named as prime example for this and was and is a milestone for the EBM movement, released by Daniel Miller’s Mute label. Shrank to the duo Robert Görl / Gabi Delgado-López, the band continued working on new material which found its way on the two albums ‘Alles ist gut’ (1981) and ‘Für Immer’ (1982) with which they finally made their breakthrough.
