No Respect is a Punk rock band from Göttingen, Germany. Established in 1985, their sound has evolved from traditional punk to a contemporary mixture of Ska and Punk. The band lineup currently consists of a brass section comprising saxophone, trumpet and a trombone, and a rhythm section of bass, drums and guitar. During the height of their career, No Respect released two albums and a variety of other recordings. Their reputation was established primarily through an extensive touring schedule, including tours through Italy and Spain. No Respect's lyrics commonly deal with political, personal and emotional issues. A firm anti-fascist sentiment is conveyed through songs such as "No Nazi's Friend". The unity of effective and purposeful lyrics with a powerful but melodic musical sensibility has forged a significant and dedicated following for the band. No Respect have announced that they are splitting in 2008.
