WIZO (pronounced "Vee-soh") was a Punk Rock band from Sindelfingen, Germany. The band was formed in 1985. Their messages run from political to humorous, but they are strongly against Nazism, Fascism, Racism, and "all of that dreck." They separated in March 2005. In 1995, their most popular song "Gerede" led to a lawsuit and criminal charges for "incitement to criminal acts against the state of Germany." Jochen Bix founded the band "Wieso" (meaning "why?") with friends in Sindelfingen, a town in the vicinity of Stuttgart.
