20 years ago Atari Teenage Riot was crashing like a tank hit by a rocket. Burnt out, sick, tired but furious, the end of the world seemed near: 1999, then switch... 2000 the final show was recorded... When Nic Endo, Alec Empire and Carl Crack took the stage at Brixton Academy in London, UK, they knew that this was the end of the 90s, Digital Hardcore and ATR.... but they decided that the only option they had left was to a t t a c k.... There was no doubt that it was, and still is the loudest noise show ever played to the biggest audience, and the discussion that followed it was more about dB levels. Some argued it was 130dB, others claimed it was more like 120dB. “Definitely louder than Motorhead” “Louder than My Bloody Valentine” We say... who cares? Noise music is about using a very wide frequency range and make that a physical experience for the listener. It is ‘information overload’ to those who can’t take that much energy, but those who look for this intensity? They reach for the volume button and press up up up up... in the red... that’s how we live life... if you don’t go over the edge you might never know who you really are.... 💥💥💥💥💥💥 #atariteenageriot #bandcamp #alecempire #nicendo #carlcrack #nin #nineinchnails #london #brixtonacademy #uk #england #noise #noisemusic #1999 #y2k #moogerfooger #digitalhardcore #electronicmusic #motorhead #mybloodyvalentine #techno #electronicmusic #musichistory #nme https://www.instagram.com/p/B5VRe5KlNIa/?igshid=ed2jod4czfzy
