Spermbirds are a German punk band from Kaiserslautern. Formed in 1982, by the members of the melodic punk rock band Die Walter Elf (including an American G.I. stationed in Germany as vocalist), they created a fast hardcore punk group that gained popularity in Germany and beyond. Their most successful album was named Something To Prove mixing influences by many American hardcore punk bands with snotty and furious lyrics.[1][2][3][4][5]
They split up in 1990, but reformed later in 1993 releasing a number of full-length albums and touring up to this date.[6][7]
