Frontman Aljoscha Rompe, a Swiss living in East Berlin, supplied the vocals to the band's restless, enduring punk anthems. His accompanying keyboarder and guitarist, then universally referred to as "Flake" and "Paulchen", have since found fame as Christian Lorenz and guitar player Paul Landers of Rammstein.
