(1988 – 1989)

Meaning bandname: The means of coercion that exist in society towards the individual and between individuals. Later on the lyrics became more personal and we thought Means To An End to be finer and more appropriate.

History: During the summer of 1988, Peter of Means Of Coercion went to live in the USA and is replaced by Stefan. The last concert is in february 1989. Because of no motivation and different interests, the band quit.
