The Locals — Young Lovers 1978 (Germany, Krautrock, Progressive Rock)

A band from Hanover (Lower Saxony), formed in 1978 by composer and multi-instrumentalist Michael Rietzke. The group existed until 1983, but released only one album, which can be considered unique, as it adheres to the clear and defined tendencies of Frank Zappa's music. The record is filled with satirical lyrics on social, economic, and political issues. As Michael Rietzke himself said: "The album was our musical response to the rock, pop, and punk establishment."
