Atari Teenage Riot - Sick To Death E.P. was released in 1997. Although Nic Endo had already joined the band, she wasn‘t featured on the album artwork. She did appear though in the music video shot & directed by Philipp Virus. On the b-side Carl Crack delivers one of his most killer performances on the track “We’ve Got The Fucking Power”. The second single of the album “Future of War” was “Destroy 2000 Years Of Culture”. In the song ‘Sick To Death’ the riot grrl shouts appear, the lyrics ‘Burn Berlin Burn’. This would become the album title for the US release on the Beastie Boys’ label Grand Royal. A few years later German authorities censored the album, one reason was that its message is ‘too anti-fascist’. Let that sink in... Do you think music can be ‘too anti-fascist’? #atariteenageriot #alecempire #nicendo #carlcrack #hannineliaz #atr #digitalhardcore #dhr #grandroyal #beastieboys #techno #cyberpunk #909 #berlin #90s #usa #vinyl #vinylcover #artwork #digitalculture https://www.instagram.com/p/B21ggjWCY5Z/?igshid=159n9h47rh0d7

Around this time of the year in 1997 my phone rang. It was Mike D. from the Beastie Boys. He had just spoken to Zack from Rage Against The Machine who asked him to ask me if we would be up for getting on their tour in the US. Wu Tang already agreed to it. I told him I would have to speak to the rest of ATR first and that I would call him back very soon. A few months later we were setting up for soundcheck in stadiums - many people said it was one of the wildest tours of the 90s. That could be true. There was tons of chaos and excitement and our generation figured out a new way to use culture to communicate political ideas to a wide audience. It was a time when we had to unplug and rewire phone lines in the hotel rooms to have internet. It was also a time when nobody was afraid to speak out in public - even the most insane theories were openly discussed. The idea of censorship was unthinkable. That so many call for it now still puzzles me. As if this has ever worked or changed anything for the better. This is why authoritarians always came for the musicians and artists first because when you experience the energy of powerful music, it helps you to push yourself further, it opens new doors for you... it can change your world. Stay strong and never give up the fight for a better world!
