Yes I have too much time browsing weird shit on youtube, and found this awesome gem! Taste Of Decay, a post-punk band hailing from Harrislee, Germany is definitely worth to listen if you are a fan of post-punk / positive punk / gothic. Last known line up was Simon Pörksen (bass), Lenni Thomsen (drums), Felix Schultz (guitars) and Michael Scholz (vocals), and according to Michael Scholz’s website they have released two tapes and one 7″ EP (“Calling” EP) limited to 512 copies. Some people described their music as “Gothic” at that time, while they called it as “Cave Trash”. They got more “punkish” beat on some of their songs (listen to “Factory” for example), kinda like a mix of Play Dead, Vex and UK Decay! Existed from June 1984 to August 1986, their releases are nearly impossible to find these days I believe. But Mannequin (Label + Mailorder based in Rome, Italy) – collaborated with French label Infrastition – reissued their discography CD, released on May 28th 2010 and limited to 500 copies! Listen to the tunes, and grab their CD if you like it!
