Rawheads was originally formed by Lutz (drummer) and the guitarist Ralph in the mid 80s. In the begining of the 90 the lineup was complete with the frontman of the band Betoncombo, Heske on bass and Kosche now on vocals. Playing his unique style with a blend of psychotic lyrics, a beat and a heavy punk guitar rock and roll they just played a few small gigs in local clubs. Having good connections with local promoters they ended up opening for Krewmen. However, time did not stop and in 1990 Heske wanted to leave the band as well as Kosche due to personal problems. Later after some line up changes they opened for Blood On The Saddle in the summer of 92 and played in several parties and was time for a vinyl. In early 1993 the first EP " Follow That Demon" was recorded at MusicLab Studio in Berlin. It was released by Mental Disorder Records later that year. Rob was asked to play with the Mad Sin when their original bassist Holly took a little slack. Rob recorded the album " A Ticket Into Underworld " with them and toured through France and Germany. However he was still a Rawhead and had not left his band aoriginal in hand. Having gained some experience he returned at the end of the year and continued playing with the Rawheads. In the fall of 94 the first Wild Cat Weekend in Berlin was promoted by Björj and Udo. The Rawheads played with the Meteors, Demented, Polecats and many others. At the end of the year , everything pointed to the studio again and in 18 days the band recorded their highly acclaimed album " Inferno " in Octosound Berlin. In the spring of 1995 they played on the 3rd Munich Psychobilly Festival, the biggest gig for in the band's history. After that, the CD " Inferno " was released by Mental Disorder Records and distributed by Rumble Records again.
Then there was silence ... Marco left the band after a severe fight with Lutz because of a girl. The band would never be the same....
