Atari Teenage Riot: Classic or Dud

Not a guitar in sight, either. Did he ever follow up his 'hyperjazz' (or whatever it was called) project? All that seemed to consist of were some spooky, dislocated Bjork remixes.

AE anecdote: a friend of mine once spent some time with him in Berlin. AE was very keen to come up with some T-shirt slogans that would be offensive to British people. His suggestions included "I invented cricket" and "I invented fish'n'chips". Aw, bless.

dud.

HAHA, anyway...for some reason i've always been fond of ATR, even if the whole DHR thing was, as noted at the top of the thread, an aesthetic dead end. I guess I just like insane gabber beats set against punk and speed metal samples.

[Nic Endo, who was a later member of ATR, released a really cool solo album which was easily one of the best things to come out of the whole DHR/Geist thing.]

that's awesome!

nic endo's 'white heat' is a great great record, and maybe one of my first 'noisz' albs that I ever bought. did she follow it up?

Atari Teenage Riot news -- remember them?

WE DISHARMONIZE THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY!
LET'S DESTROY THE FUTURE FROM HERE!

("What she said to me at the end of the day/Caligula would have blushed...")

I like the EP more that came out before the full length a lil' better, I think.

Some of my earliest attempts at making electronic music were basically really really low-rent attempts at Atari Teenage Riot Songs. I wrote this one song called "Digital Anarchy", it's fuckin' HILARIOUS to listen to now.

"NATION! against! NATION!
NOBODY SPEAKS UP BUT 311!"

Classic for that song alone, I never got around to checking out anything else but it really doesn't matter.

oh, here's that song btw. i found the cassete it was recorded on and transferred it to my computer. warning: it's quite awful!

I saw these guys play live back in 2000, it was great. So loud, and I could see everything from way at the back of the club because all the people up front moshing like crazy were ages 12-15.

Alec Empire is bringing his German noise-terrorists back to Blighty!

Digital hardcore industrialists Atari Teenage Riot are set to play the Electric Ballroom on Wednesday, May 12th. Tickets will be on sale shortly.

The band have been on hiatus following co-founder Carl Crack’s death in 2001.

They were great live the one time I saw them back in 2000 or so. Tempted...

I remember being so impressed with The Future Of War when I first heard it (I was doing my GCSEs so a very long time ago now). 60 Second Wipeout or whatever it was called was good, but just didn't do the trick.

Atari Teenage Riot Announce New Single ‘Blood In My Eyes’
(March 22nd on iTunes, April 19th release on all DSPs, Dim Mak )

Single Includes Remix of Last Year’s “Activate!”

Atari Teenage Riot release their new single, “Blood In My Eyes”, through Digital Hardcore Recordings as a teaser for the band’s forthcoming album, Is This Hyperreal?, set to be released Summer, 2011.

“Blood In My Eyes” features Nic Endo on lead vocal. She speaks out for the multitude of women who have become the victims of human trafficking, their sexuality exploited for financial gain right under the gaze of the ineffectual governments of the self-proclaimed civilised west. Nic, wholly in tune with her trademark Japanese face-paint depicting "Resistance," makes her point in the inimitable Atari way.

Human trafficking is an issue most musicians would rather leave untouched. In popular music it's considered cool to present yourself with the accoutrements of modern life like expensive cars, bling, champagne etc. Basically everything that makes people feel
envy and adulation towards the artists who try to portray an image of being ‘successful’, while the music industry is close to collapse - but that's another song on to be addressed on ATR's new album.

"Blood In My Eyes" is a riveting electronic punk rock diatribe, paying homage to the feminine retributive subtexts espoused by cult films like ‘Kill Bill’ and heavily censored French art-house offering, ‘Baise-Moi.’

Nic expounds a cautionary tale, alerting us that all who stand by and do nothing share the guilt.

With its straight-forward throbbing 909 drum machine patterns, massive guitar riffs, ear-splitting adrenaline rushes of noise and powerful female vocals, ‘Blood In My Eyes’ charges down an unswerving path determined to confront the future head on.

“Blood In My Eyes” is the second ATR single from Is This Hyperreal?, which is due this summer on Dim Mak. ATR’s relationship with Dim Mak begin with a simple email from Alec Empire to the label-head Steve Aoki, and the rest is history between the band known for undeniable energy, and the label known for the same.

I remember all the hype when they came out and they were DISAPPOINTING.

yep

I'M SICK TO DEATH LIKE I'VE NEVER BEEN SICK BEFORE

NOT YOUR BUSINESS!

The answer to this question was answered in the first reply:

ATR's "Future of War" was in a way perfect, but they should've quit after that one.

Man I used to love that album as a teenager. It really sounded like the most nihilistic, punky noise in the world. Then I bought 60 Second Wipeout which felt like a nu-metal parody of that record. Not without its cool moments, but I couldn't take them seriously by that point.
