 Terrorgruppe:Pretty much stolen from their official site:In 1993 3 punks met each other again in a Berlin pawnshop, all trying to pawn their instruments, to pay bills. But during the reunion they ended up forming a new band together, going for the peaceful sounding name, Terrorgruppe. In no time the band was well known in Berlin. They released a couple of self produced 7" vinyl-epīs which sold an amazing amount amongst the German punk-scene. Beginning w/ a strictly punk-rock sound, somewhere between melodic skate-punk, London 77 and old german punk bands like KFC, Razors or Middle Class Fantasies, they began adding more and more Reggae, Ska and Pop elements to their songs. Today the band calls their music AGGROPOP and has founded a little Aggropop-scene with their own small fanzine "Church of Punkology". Terrorgruppeīs mostly German lyrics are as important as their music & style. They write about politics, sexuality, religion, drugs, relationships and boring life in Germany... "We want to spread hate and mistrust among the shitty people of Germany and make kids rebel against their parents, against the state, church and society", the four Berliners confess. But Terrorgruppe catagorize themselves as 10% PC (and 90% politically incompetent). They like to disfame stars from politics and show-business in their own despicable way. Of course, with this attidude they haven't always made friends: One chain store won't distribute their products; some well known stars wanted to sue the band (but refrained); communities tried to prohibit Terrorgruppeīs live-shows and the "Office for Protection of the Constitution" recorded every little move of the band. Christian moral-theologains and radical feminists were threatening with riots, etc... In '99 they recorded another full length album, "1world - 0future", with their all-time favorite producer Uwe Hoffmann on Epitaph Records, the American release finally occurring in 2001. Their first live album, "Blechdose" came out in 2002 & they're working on their first homevideo. We'll keep waiting to see what happens next! -Mikki 10/02 More at: |
