Teenage Panzerkorps - Games For Slaves
 

Anyone else digging this album? I can't stop playing it all day.

Just got it but haven't listened yet. Was just about to put it on!

For fuck sake. why aren't you a single girl? Games For Slaves is almighty.

Have they ever toured the UK? I know they're sort of German and sort of American but I'm not sure where they're based.

Love this video too. Don't know what it's off though. non more punk.

Some of them are based in California, I think, and 2 of them in Germany. Have you heard the LP 'Harmful Emotions' and the 'Nations Are Insane' CDR? Both excellent, especially recommended to fans of The Fall. The new one reminds a bit of New Order on certain songs.


My favourite song of theirs is maybe 'Destroy The Future'.

I've only heard Games for Slaves. Favourite tracks on that are probably Unfavourable Meanings and Occult Logic. It's got a really kinky 80s thing going on, but I can never decide whether that's just because of the German vocals - which always sound a bit dirty to me

They sure know how to give their songs good titles: 'Catholic Radio', 'Nazi Rainbow', 'Brown Sun', plus the ones you mentioned.

To be honest, when i first heard them I assumed they actually were from the early 80s. The New Order comparison is an odd one but it does sort of work. Thinking about it, Warsaw maybe even more on point.

I liked the first lp so I'm looking forward to this one. I think some of the people involved in der tpk are affiliated with the Jewelled Antler Collective. That's pretty much all I know.

Yes. It's one of the best from last year as far as I'm concerned.



*checks mp3 player*
I've played it 21 times since December 7 2008.

haven't got the new one yet, but these guys are one of my favourite bands from the last couple of years, the Gelich Heilt Gleich 7" is probably my favourite record of this decade so far.

Thanks for posting that video, it linked to another one by The Nazi Dogs, which had one of Teenage Panzerkorps in their ranks.

It's so good!

Does anyone want the 'Nations Are Insane' CDR? I can upload it, if anyone wants it. It's like The Fall at their most deranged.

it's like the fall if they were a bit better than they were when they were still good 25 years ago

they also sound a bit like joy division

Yeah, and somehow they remind me of the fucked up editing of 'Sonic Death' too.

Needless to say ... yes please

Thanks for this one, never heard them before. Not nearly as shit as music can be, quite the opposite, in fact.

Yeah they are associated vaguely with Jewelled Antler. One of the members actually has a side project with a member of the Skygreen Leopards and the dude from Blessure Grave (who is an acquaintance of mine) called Hollow Tongues, you should check them out on myspace.

I'm sure Teenage Panzerkorps are into black magic.
