== Style == Pascow has its musical roots in the German punk scene, which is defined by fast-paced music and German-language lyrics. In particular, Pascow's lyrics have been influenced by Deutschpunk bands like Knochenfabrik, Duesenjaeger, Turbostaat, and Dackelblut, as well as the later work of Die Goldenen Zitronen. Musically they have also been influenced by The Misfits and the Ramones, as well as later bands like Gluecifer, Turbonegro, and Turbo A.C.'s. Early on, the band called their musical style "Bukowski-Pop", because they were influenced by the work of the writer Charles Bukowski. A direct reference to the work of Bukowski is found in the album title Geschichten, die einer schrieb... (English translation: History that someone wrote).
