"ATR's legacy of
ultra-politicized heavily-distorted electronic/d'n'b punk/HC carries on
throughout the decades. Proof of this is that six years after ATR's end,
the genre is still alive and kicking (literally!) and 16 bands converged
in 2007 to put this tribute CD together under the one label that
probably best represents the movement, the genre and the attitude
itself: Canadian D-Trash records. I applaud the tribute and the spirit
behind it." - ChainDLK.com / April 2007 Our label D-TRASH has been around for close to 10 years now and we are really excited to announce the upcoming release of our 7th pressed CD, which will be "The Virus Has Been Spread - A Tribute to ATARI TEENAGE RIOT". For any who've been along for the ride of our record label knows the impact that ATR played and we are more than psyched to finally realize this chapter in D-TRASH Records history. The CD is released May Day (May 1st) 2007 and features D-TRASH RECORDS artists and friends all joining together to do some great covers of a band we are all big fans of. You can now order the CD from D-TRASH RECORDS now and it will be mailed out promptly upon release. You can also order the CD through www.stormingthebase.com. We are working on getting it up on Itunes.com as we post this. |

But who are ATR? In 1992, German band ATARI TEENAGE RIOT, stormed the world with their
new breed of punked out electronic noise and their direct approach to
politicizing music, in the fine underground spirit of DIY tactics. ATR &
many other important figures spearheaded the “digital hardcore” movement and sound– thus
spawning many like-minded labels and artists who were left inspired by what
ATR was doing.
After the crash and burn of
ATR in 2001, there was a void
left by ATR’s departure from the scene - The scene and the world’s
politics changed… much so that in ways digital hardcore’s revolutionary
and abrasive approach was necessitated even more. In ATR's wake the new
international scene of artists have taken the digital hardcore formula and sound and
changed it into their own monsterous creation. the same is found on this
16 track collection of ATR’s most classic songs reworked by
D-TRASH Records bands and friends. |

On “The Virus Is Spread”, U.S. band RABBIT JUNK starts off the ‘fest
with a furious stomping of “Start The Riot”. Swedish trio 64revolt takes
“You Can't Hold Us Back" into a new-wave club beat direction! While
HANSEL’s symphonic approach to “Ghost Chase" transforms the original
into something much different! While SCHIZOID makes a final and
exhaustingly brutal take on album closer "The Future Of War", Part of the charm to these exciting tracks are how one could hear the different genders & nationalities in each, alike how you could hear the male/female AND German elements in ATR - in that way these songs stay true to the classic originals. |
