history
The band was founded in February 1993 by Archi "MC" Motherfucker (vocals, guitar, ex- Inferno ), Jacho alias Johnny Bottrop (guitar), and Hermann v. Back (drums). Ice Tüte was soon added as a bass player, which was replaced in 1994 by Fritz Spritze and later by Zip Schlitzer. In 1998 Hermann v. Replaced in the back by Steve Maschine West on drums, 2001 Zip Schlitzer by Slash Vicious.
In 1998 they toured with bands like NOFX , Die Toten Hosen and Die Ärzte , and later also with ZSK and WIZO . In 2002 the live album Tin Can was released .
In 1999 they contributed a song to the soundtrack of the feature film Oi! Warning from the brothers Benjamin and Dominik Reding .
In 2004 the band announced that the terror group would never give concerts again. Archi left the band in early November 2005. He worked on a solo project and had a. a. a guest appearance on the album Hahnenkampf by the Berlin rap group KIZ , with whom he recorded the track Schwarz, Rot, Geld .
With the former singer of the Xarecrows - Bang Bang Benno - the remaining band members founded the band The Bottrops . This released her first album in 2007.
In January 2013 the DVD Sinful Infants Behind Monastery Walls Damned To Lust , a documentary about the band history of the terror group. As a bonus, the DVD included an audio CD with the title Dessert - Halbstark in Kreuzberg 1993-2006 . This contains rare and previously unreleased recordings by the band.
In December 2013, the terror group's first appearance in 10 years was announced at the Ruhrpott Rodeo in Hünxe in May 2014. The actual first appearance after the reunion took place on May 25, 2014 in SO36, which was sold out in a very short time. As a result, the band gave an additional concert with KIZ on May 26, 2014. Former band member Zip Schlitzer has rejoined the band as bass player; new drummer is kid cat.
In January 2016 the band released the album Tiergarten . For the cover, they used a selfie that a macaque monkey had taken of itself and that had caused a lot of ado about the copyright issue the year before. With the album, the terror group made it into the album charts in Germany and Austria for the first time.
style
The terror group plays German-language punk rock . The lyrics make use of the typical fun punk clichés and are characterized by a clear anarchist opinion. Many texts refer to German culture. The problem of right-wing extremist and state violence often has its place in the songs of the terror group. The music often shows ska or pop-punk influences. Due to the many influences, the band members agreed on the term aggropop .
