Hans-A-Plast (named after a self-adhesive plaster with a non-stick wound pad) was a German punk band founded in 1978. Through the characteristic singing of the lead singer Annette Benjamin and their cheeky lyrics they quickly became one of the most successful punk bands in Germany of their time. In 1983, the band, consisting of three women and two men, dissolved after having released three albums.
Links to Peel[]
In the early 80's, Peel would often play German language music, especially punk bands, such as Hans-A-Plast. He first started playing the band's material on his show in early 1980 and would play further material from them on his radio programmes until the spring of 1983, especially his BFBS shows, which were based in Germany.
