Die Skeptiker (English: The Skeptics) is a German punk band, founded in 1986 in East Berlin.
Die Skeptiker were part of the so called Die anderen Bands (the other bands in accordance to the mainstream bands in East Germany) which played political lyrics that criticised life in the GDR.
In 2000, their singer, Eugen Balanskat, founded Roter Mohn (later renamed to Rotorfon) playing punk rock cover versions of 1920s - 1940s songs. The band reformed in 2006 to mark their 20th anniversary. Since then, the band has toured throughout Germany.

Famous quotes containing the word die:
“I have not ceased being fearful, but I have ceased to let fear control me. I have accepted fear as a part of life, specifically the fear of change, the fear of the unknown, and I have gone ahead despite the pounding in the heart that says: turn back, turn back, you’ll die if you venture too far.”
—Erica Jong, U.S. author. In an essay in The Writer on Her Work, ch. 13 (1980)
