Artist History February 1993: After a long time, 3 punks meet each other again in one of Berlin- Kreuzberg´s pawnshops. As a matter of fact they wantedto pawn their musical instruments, because they needed money to pay their bills. But what happened ? Archi "MC" Motherfucker (voc, git),Johnny Bottrop (git) and Hermann von Hinten (drums) were celebrating their reunion and decided to form a new band together. Soon after a bassplayer called "Ice Tüte" joined and in April´94 the four punks rehearsed constantly in their basement. They were looking fora peaceful sounding name for their young band, so they called themselves "Terrorgruppe" which of course means Terrorgroup.(in English) It did not take to long and the band was well known in Berlin. They released a couple of self produced 7" vinyl-ep´s which sold an amazingamount amung german punk-scene. In fall 94 "Ice Tüte" left the band and after a miscarried experiment with a guy called "Fritz", ZipSchlitzer took place as the bassplayer. Until today "Terrorgruppe" released about 15 Singles and 5 full length albums. Musik für Arschlöcher 1995 (CD/LP) Gringo/Metronome Melodien für Milliarden 1996 (CD/LP) Gringo/ Metronome Nonstop Aggropop 1997 (CD/LP) Gringo/IntercordKeiner hilft Euch 1998 (CD/LP) Gringo/Intercord1World - 0 Future 2000 (CD/LP) Epitaph With the last two albums, they hit the top ten of the german alternative charts and the single "Rockgiganten vs. Strassenköter" - a splitsingel with Die Ärzte - even made it in the german Top 100 charts. The early recordings sounded strickly punk-rock, somewhere between melodic skate-punk from California, London 77 and old germanpunkrock of bands like KFC, Razors or Middle Class Fantasies...... Then MC & Co added more and more Reggae, Ska and Pop elementsto their songs and on "keiner hilft euch" you can even hear a jazz - song. Today the band calls their music AGGROPOP and has founded alittle aggropop-scene with their own small fanzine "Church of Punkology" as the central organ of public propaganda. Terrorgruppe´s (mostgerman) lyrics are as important as their music & style. They write about politics, sexuality, religion, drugs,relationships and boring life inGermany in their own respectless, naive and unconcerned way. Cynical and ironically they like to spread salt into the open wounds of themodern, German society and sometimes they give practically instuctions for rebellion. "We want to spread hate and mistrust among theshitty people of germany and make kids rebell against their parents, against the state, church and society", the four Berliners confess. ButTerrorgruppe is not a politically punk-band. They characterize themselves as 10% PC (and 90% politically incompetent). They like todisfame stars from politics and show-business in their own way of despising mankind. Melicious joy is their most important driving element.Of course, with this attidude they do not only make friends: A certain chain store was not willing to distribute Terrorgruppe´s products; somewell known stars were thinking about sueing "Terrorgruppe" (but refrained); communities tried to prohibit Terrorgruppe´s live-shows and the"Office for Protection of the Constitution" recorded every little move of the band. Christian moral-theologains and radical femenists werethreatening with riots...etc.....etc...... Notwithstanding to this little problems the band was constantely following their triumphalprocession.("learning from Terrorgruppe means to learn how to win") so they were touring the hell out of Germany, Austria and Switzerland.Until today they did about 450-500 live-shows and tons of fanzines voted them as "the best german live - band". With the idea"language-barriers fuck off" the four maniacs also visited countries like Poland, Czec, Holland, France, Hungary, Italy, Spain and California(where they released 1997 their compilation-album "Terrorgruppe uber Amerika" on BYO-Records). Unfortunately drummer Hermann v.Hinten left in summer 1998. 4 days later Maschine West joined the band and made their music more compact an powerfull. For 1999 theyonly played around 40 shows because the band needed a little break to clean their instruments. But............ They recorded another great fulllenght album with their alltime fave producer Uwe Hoffmann in Javea/Spain. Also a new record label was found called Epitaph Records. Theygave this new album the name "1world - 0future" and it became the best selling record of a german punkband in 2000. From the 1st of apriluntill the 30st of december the 4 aggropoppers were constantly touring..... they played holy 109 shows all over europe in 8 month. Not badfor a bunch of lazy bastards. But still they had time to record their very first titeltrack to a movie called OI!Warning which already drew 80000 people in germany´s movie theaters. It´s 2001.... a silent year for Terrorgruppe? Not at all, maybe they will not tour that much but thiswill be the year of 1world - 0future´s america release. Besides this they are already working on their very first live album & on their firsthomevideo. Also creativity pushes the four terrorists into writing on new songs for there next studio album. Let´s see what happens next.The struggle goes on!!!!

So like buy this CD or something...I'm a Terrorgruppie!, June 22, 2000 Reviewer: Dennis Jeantet (see more about me) from Philly, Pennsylvania This cd is great! i recomend getting it for yourself. as if it's not hard enough to find their cd's out of germany, if you have the chance don't be stupid! German lyrics, that's ok. the music says it all, only wish i could get a translation. this is true punk! GET IT!This CD is AMAZING!!!, December 19, 1998 Reviewer: Joel Tourjee (hulkamaniacs@baldandsexy.com) from Small town in Central Jersey A friend of mine in Germany introduced me to Terrorgruppe and within two weeks i had bought both of the CD's that were out at the time. This album isn't as good as the first, "Musik fuer Arschloecher", but it is still really good. Like I've told a friend of mine, "I don't know why I like this group. I just like the way they sound." They have a very unique sound that is very appealing to me and a bunch of my friends. If you get a chance also check out some of their other titles... "Musik fuer Arschloecher", and their newest (and best yet) "Keiner Hilft Euch".
