Birth Control is one of the longest-running German rock bands of all time.

50 years ago, they released the album Hoodoo Man which included the international mega-hit "Gamma Ray" that turned the band into household names throughout Europe.
While the personnel of the band has changed over it's 54-year history, one thing has not: solid musical performances in the studio and even more so on stage, where the band has delivered legendary performances for decades.

Just recently, the band released their 21st studio album "Open Up" with 8 brand new tracks that overflow with creativity, musicality, dynamics and of course, the pure dose of rock'n'roll the band is known for. And for the very first time, the band offers a new version of "Gamma Ray" 50 years after the original release.

I am joined by Peter Foeller and Ludi Ettrich and we talk about some of the history, their die-hard fans and the new album.
