Atari Teenage Riot (abbreviated
ATR) is a German
digital hardcore group formed in
Berlin in 1992. The name was taken from a Portuguese Joe song entitled "Teenage Riot" from the album "Teen-age Riot", with the word 'Atari' added as an
Atari ST computer was used to create compositions. 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.
