The worst singer in the city of Mainz Michel, running aimlessly through the streets and look for another job. He succeeds through bribery, to join a band that shortly thereafter, "refers Untergangskommando. After their first joint "samples", it turns out that all the other "musicians understand" anything from their instruments. In Mc Donald's decision Mainz-Altstadt Steffen (guitar), paetzi (guitar), OMA (Bass), Strohbü (drums) and Michel without warning and without talent, the first offensive, they take on a tape and play live for the first time. With thoughtful carols chase the boys numerous guests from the live-music venues in the area. It's promising for next time practicing things better.
It comes, as it must come: the signing in 1995 Untergangskommando Impact Records, finds a publisher, get an advance and: drowned everything. For the band bus left over after the ceremony, only 1500 marks. A Riesenschlamassel: the band buys a scrap heap and now holds the ADAC and the highway police on tenterhooks.
The future producer Uwe Faust, who actually has many years experience with the chaos of a Düsseldorf not unknown band, sees the loss -
command at a Christmas concert and recommends that after five songs the band to dissolve. After 3 vinyl EP's published 1996, the first long-player "Tatort Aldi. After the release party for guitarist paetzi and Michel fall while attempting to board an excursion boat at dawn to the Rhine.
At the first major tour forgets Untergangskommando the bassist OMA in Erfurt, at three, and its absence is only found in Eisenach. Michel singer was arrested in Mainz, as he completely drunk in the Mainz Interior
wandering around the town to preach. He explained later that the Lord has spoken to him in the night. On the "OH-TREE-TOUR" doom-plays
command in prison in Mainz and in a homeless shelter and in some clubs, some are more concerts in one evening.
The decline in 1997 to take command in a rainy week in February, the MCD "dawn". The studio work will be finished with a monumental fireworks. Some fireworks have exploded in the recording studio. The band has to pay the damage out of pocket - despite a comprehensive liability insurance. Conclusion: A mountain of debt and temporary studio ban.
In the summer of that year, the second long player "recorded plague" and the first time the band produced the sound recording itself on the release - Party there are a hundred boxes "piss" and it will break some furniture, Bong fragmented into 1000 parts. All festivities canceled.
Right at the beginning of 1998 separates the Untergangskommando from guitarist Steffen and starts the "Partisan Tour", the band races over many weekends through Germany. In between the vinyl EP "You get what you deserve" was added.
Summer 98: The band steals an emergency power generator and begins to aufzukreuzen without notice at festivals and playing in front of the door. You get what you deserve! The demise command draws a week with friends and acquaintances by South German pedestrian zones and plays with emergency generator before each approximately 200 onlookers. To 2,800 miles in 9 days, the Volume 21 times encountered the police. The band passes unnoticed in the fundus of a theater clothes and begins to dress tastefully for the concerts.
You get what you deserve! With the "Basement Ghost" and "Bastards Beezy" plays Untergangskommando 7 official concerts in Germany and irritated the visitors by wearing police uniforms. On the New Year's Eve Party 1998 will be summarily terminated guitarist Ätzy. The command is sinking back to five! For the first time with a new man on board, the band once again captures the recording studio. Result: A completely irritated engineer and a few fresh songs that have it in themselves. Tour is back in fashion.
Work on a new CD to begin. They use a variety of styles. While the samples from flaring Ätzys guitar amplifier, after paetzi tried tuning the good piece. Since the demise command is again only four. In October 2000 Strohbü announces his imminent exit. After much back and forth the remaining 3 (Michel, paetzi & OMA) die on New Year's Eve Party 2000/2001, the command decide to leave.
After the dissolution, the members played sometimes more, sometimes less time in various bands over the right of the menu you can find the biography more.

Der Dicke Polizist
Der Dicke Polizist (since 2005 only DDP) is a german punk band, which was founded in 1993 in Koblenz (near Bonn). DDP's music can be discribed as critical, direct and political Punkrock.
After many shows in their town, DDP produced their first demo tap "Keine Gerechtigkeit,Keine Liebe" (1994). In the following 3 year the band became more and more popular and plays shows with Wizo. Fuckin' Faces and Dödelhaie. Then they produced their second demo tape, called "Wir habens satt". In 1998 the next demo tape "Was Den Lieben Nachbar Stört" and their first album "Es geschah am hellixten Tag" had been produced. DDP produced the next album in the year 2002, which is called "Und Die Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt". In 2005 next album "DDP" had been published.
Today the bands name is only DDP because the old bandname sounds so funny ("the fat police man"), but the music DDP makes isn't funny, the lyrics are critical and politic.

Zeitgeist
Du hast Panik in den Augen
Unordnung in Deinem Kopf
Versuch doch mal zu schreien
Wenn Du noch immer hoffst
Du hast doch alles schon gewusst
Deshalb trifft Dich keine Schuld
So wie es jetzt nun ist
So hast Du es nie gewollt
Ref:
Kein Kopf, der Dich versteht
Unordnung in Deinem Kopf
Versuch doch mal zu schreien
Wenn Du noch immer hoffst
Du hast doch alles schon gewusst
Deshalb trifft Dich keine Schuld
So wie es jetzt nun ist
So hast Du es nie gewollt
Ref:
Kein Kopf, der Dich versteht
Kein Herz das mit Dir fühlt Kein Bein das mit
Dir geht und bei Dir bleib wenn
Du noch stehst Keine Hand die man
Dir reicht Kein Auge das nach
Dir blickt Kein Bein das mit
Dir geht sondern Dich von hinten tritt
Du kennst schon all die Phrasen
Die Parolen färben langsam ab
Und Deine Lederjacke
Hängt zu eng in Deinem Schrank
So ein wenig ist es noch wie früher
Es wird nur nicht mehr geglaubt
Du löffelst braune Stücke aus der Suppe
Du kennst schon all die Phrasen
Die Parolen färben langsam ab
Und Deine Lederjacke
Hängt zu eng in Deinem Schrank
So ein wenig ist es noch wie früher
Es wird nur nicht mehr geglaubt
Du löffelst braune Stücke aus der Suppe
Und spuckst sie nicht mehr aus

Atari Teenage Riot
Atari Teenage Riot (abbreviated ATR) was a German digital hardcore group formed in Berlin in 1992. Highly political, they fused anarchist, anti-fascist and anti-Nazi views with punk vocals and the newly emerging techno sound called digital hardcore, which is a term band member Alec Empire used as the name of his record label.
The group was founded as an attack on the increasingly neo-Nazi influenced German techno scene and consisted of three Berliners - Alec Empire, Hanin Elias and MC Carl Crack. ATR's early releases (which included the track "Hetzjagd Auf Nazis!"/"Hunt Down the Nazis!") were surrounded by controversy in Germany due to the prevailing "no politics on the dance floor" attitude
After signing to Phonogram Records, a major European label, in 1993 the band received an unusually large financial advance which they duplicitously used to set up their own record label: Digital Hardcore Recordings (DHR). ATR never delivered a commercially viable demo to Phonogram.
In 1997 ATR was joined by Nic Endo, a Japanese-American noise/soundscape artist during the Beck tour.[2] Their live shows during this time were characterized by violence. An outdoor show in Berlin on May 1st 1999 resulted in the arrests of all of the band members for "inciting violence" after crowds, assembled for an anti-NATO protest, rioted with police (the charges were later dropped). In another incident, a security guard in Brazil was allegedly hospitalized after being beaten by Elias with a microphone. A fan stated in an interview that the guard had grabbed her between the legs as she tried to stage dive.
In 1999 ATR released 60 Second Wipe Out. The album featured a number of guest artists including New York City rappers The Arsonists. According to Magnet Magazine, "Empire's guitar-playing values speed-thrash malevolence, and when paired with Endo's painful skronkage, the album is decidedly denser than its predecessor."
The group effectively disbanded in 2000. Any chance of reformation was eliminated on September 6, 2001 by the death of Carl from an overdose, who had long struggled with a drug addiction.In June 2002, Hanin Elias left DHR to create Fatal Recordings, a label formed exclusively for female artists, similar to her DHR Fatal offshoot label. Empire produced the track "You Suck" for her debut album No Games, No Fun; however, in the album's artwork, specifically in a collage of collaborators, Empire's face is blacked out, signifying the end of their professional relationship.
The other half of the band continue to work together. Endo assists in the production of Empire's solo recordings as well as being a key member of his live band. DHR released Atari Teenage Riot: 1992-2000, a collection of the band's best known recordings, on July 3, 2006.
