German punk band from Hamburg, Germany. Founded in 1979, they became one of the style-defining bands of the 1980s. Slime was one of the most influential German punk bands of the early movement and thus shaped the political attitude of a large part of the German scene. With their anti-fascist texts they influenced the history of the German punk movement. Individual slogans, especially from their early phase, were spread in the autonomous scene. Musically and textually, they changed from a band with simple, catchy songs in the style of British punk rock of the late 1970s to a group with more sophisticated song structures and complex lyrics.
Slime was controversial at times. The group was accused of “selling out” in the course of its growing success. Their anti-American texts also caused criticism in the left-wing scene. Several songs, particularly the 1980 "Wir Wollen Keine Bullenschweine", We Want No Bull Pigs (aka cops), have been the subject of investigation.
