hardcore punk band from Baden-Württemberg (South-Germany) formed 1991 under the moniker "Vivisection", but in 1994 renamed as "Hartsoeker". The band split up in 1997. Live shows from 1992 to 2004 with Yacöpsae, BRB, Social Genocide, Dreaded Instinct, Blindspot, Full Noise 9, Agathocles, WBI, Necrophiliacs, Anal Cunt, Tolshock, Coche Bomba, Spliff... and many other Mince Grindcore bands over the world. "Hartsoeker" were a small German band playing intricate, intense and pissed grinding fastcore between 1996 and 2004. Along the lines of german bands like Assück or earlier stuff from Yacopsae. Strange fact is such a brilliant band had been quite overlooked by their peers from the Euro "crust-punk scene". Thing is the "Hartsoeker" guys didn't have dreadlocks, piercings or nice tatoos, they rather kept a low profile, being peaceful, quiet pot-smoking university students. http://useless-hq.com/ https://myspace.com/hartsoeker http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_IsELAEyoQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQsQld0CwE8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzQzJ1pk6eY http://www.discogs.com/artist/Hartsoeker
