I think D.A.F. could qualify as sexual, confrontational, perhaps occasionally weird, but they are not obscure and I think you know them already. Also, I realise it's debatable to consider them as punk or really connected to punk.

In fact, I'm afraid the names that come to my mind are rather post-punk / Neue Deutsche Welle (German New Wave), I don't know if you mind that… If you do, you can always ignore what you feel is irrelevant.

Judging from a previous thread you started, I believe you are anyway already aware of the early 80's Berlin scene (Malaria!, Die Tödliche Doris, Sprung Aus den Wolken, many Neubauten-related incarnations, and others… if you want, I can upload next week the CD compilation that went with Berlin Super 80 DVD I mentioned once here, because I believe it is out of print now)…

Otherwise, I can also recommend Palais Schaumburg: in any case, i like their first self-titled album and the EP that gather their early singles (it includes the song "Telefon") – their sound is hard to describe and might be far from punk, but you could always try… Also, I listened not too long ago to "Autismenschen" by the band Alu – some sort of synth punk, I listened to the album only twice so far, but I enjoyed it and you might enjoy it as well…

Then there are some more classic German punk bands, from which I only know a few random songs: Abwärts, Mittagspause, S.Y.P.H., Hans-a-Plast, Fehlfarben… But since I only know random individual songs, I cannot really recommend anything in particular – I can post some youtube links later on, though.

Oh I remember that I also have the album "Stürmer" by Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle: it's nothing super amazing, but it has a few catchy songs, and I could also upload that next week, as it's definitely out of print.
