No Hope for the Kids is a Danish punk band that originated from the punkculture evolving around the Ungdomshuset in Copenhagen. Kasper Maarbjerg had earlier played in the punkbands Hul and Asbest, while the drummer Peter Bonneman is a former member of Amdi Petersens Armé.

No Hope for the Kids plays a type of punk that is influenced by early English punk pre-hardcore, also incorporating heavy rock elements. The lyrics of the songs, sung in both English and Danish, evolves around war, death and depression.

The group achieved some popularity in the hardcore punk scene, both in Denmark and abroad, mostly by word of mouth when it released its first single, especially in the United States.[1][2] The band, in addition to other bands like Gorilla Angreb and Amdi Petersens Armé, was part of a wave of interest abroad for Danish punk. This led to tours both in Europe and the USA.[3]

Ronni Dybdahl and Kasper Maarbjerg also plays in the spoof band The Natzees.

It is at the moment uncertain whether No Hope for the Kids is still playing together.

Releases edit

The single Das Reich/Secret Police from 2003, with a first pressing of 300, was quickly sold out and are now a collector's item sold for exorbitant prices at auction sites like eBay. But there is a 2nd pressing on white vinyl, too, but those are even rarer.[4]

No Hope for the Kids' debut album was released on vinyl in 2003 by the now defunct Danish label Kick'n'Punch. Titled No Hope for the Kids, it is sometimes wrongly labelled as Storkøbenhavn because the bandmembers on the coverphoto is placed next to the citylimits sign with Storkøbenhavn written on it. The album was released on CD in 2004 by the American label Feral Ward.

2006 saw the release of the single Angels of Destruction/Cold Touch on the label Backwards Masking. The song Angels of Destruction had previously been released in 2003 on the Danish compilation København i Ruiner on the Kick'n'Punch label.

In 2006 the song Treblinka appeared on the punk-compilation Public Safety released by American punkrock magazine Maximumrocknroll. The self-titled album has now been reissued a third time by Danish label Hjernespind (since the demise of Kick'n'Punch].

In January 2008 Hjernespind released an EP which is a reissue of the songs from the bands two singles.

Gorilla Angreb was a punk band from Copenhagen in Denmark, it originated from the scene around the Ungdomshuset. The band was formed after the Danish punkband Amdi Petersens Armé was dissolved in 2002. Peter from Amdi Petersens Armé started the band with Mai, Banger and Retardo (who got his name after having played in Danish punk band Los Retardos). Thomas and Peter had originally formed the band in the autumn of 1999 as a sort of pet project, but after 2002 the band began to be a real fulltime project.

Band history edit

Gorilla Angreb played a melodic punk rock with dashes of garage punk. The lyrics were all in Danish.

The first release was a yellow vinyl single released by Danish label (now defunct) Kick'n'Punch. It created som stir in the punkscene, and received favorable reviews in the American punk magazine Maximumrocknroll. The interest for Danish hardcore had been increasing in the US since Amdi Petersens Armé had been touring that country, and Gorilla Angreb and fellow Ungdomshuset band No hope for the kids only increased that interest with their releases.[1][2]

The interest eventually in 2007 took the band on a tour of Japan as well.

In 2007, a Hjernespind Records release of a compilation of former releases was made available.

31st of july 2007 Mai announced that she was leaving the band.[3] Following this the band has announced its break-up.
