Oi meets old school EBM - interview with T.W.A.T.

T.W.A.T. emerged as one of the most unique projects last year, mixing oi and oldschool ebm styles, which led to very catchy and fresh results! EBM has always been to some level influenced by punk music through origins of Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft and Nitzer Ebb, and this influence is present in most modern bands as well. However, T.W.A.T. is an entirely different case, because the Oi influence (which is unique from typical punk) stands out very strongly in their music - which results in an entirely outstanding mix. T.W.A.T. is the very first band to go in this direction, and is doing so with great success: listen for yourself on their Myspace. Their first full-length album is coming up soon, and they are one of the first bands to be confirmed for the legendary Familientreffen festival this summer, so for that occasion it dawned on us that it would be fitting with an interview..

1TJ: How did T.W.A.T start, what motivated you, and how did you come up with this unique mix of oi and ebm styles?

Martin: T.W.A.T. started with me (Martin Sax) wanting to bring together the best of my two favourite genres, EBM and Oi Punk, and make melodic EBM with some twists and in-your-face lyrics. My own views in different political and social questions often shine through in T.W.A.T.s lyrics as well.

I was already involved with the projects EkoBrottsMyndigheten and PROTOTYP, but none of those projects were right for the music-style I was after.

I made the song “Battleground” and uploaded it to Myspace. The response was fantastic and I knew I had found a style that was something a little different and that appealed to people.

1TJ: What music do you listen to in general?

Martin: I listen to a lot! Punk, Rock and different electronic genres, but I mainly listen to EBM and Oi. Lyrics-wise I have always been impressed with the storytelling of Nick Cave and I think that sometimes shows in my lyrics as well. The ability to write good refrains is what makes most of my favourite bands special.

1TJ: What are the lyrical themes in your music?

Martin: Everything and anything! Everything that passes through my brain and anything that pisses me off makes for good lyrics-material. Often it’s about the life and situation of the working class and the problems and troubles we have to live through every day.

1TJ: There is a new album coming soon: tell about it?

Martin: It will be great! I’m sure that everyone who liked what we’ve done so far will be more than satisfied. It will contain the best of the demo tracks in new versions and some new songs as well. We are wrapping it up right now and hopefully it will be ready for you to enjoy in spring 2010. It will be titled “Blood, Sweat & Teargas”.

1TJ: How was the live experience in Leipzig earlier last year?

Martin: It was the best welcome ever! Mary S. Sax (musician and back vocalist) joined up with T.W.A.T. before the Leipzig-concert and is now a constant member of the band. We weren’t expecting anything as it was our first gig, but the place was packed with people and everyone was dancing like crazy and knew the lyrics and sang along. It was just great! Both Mary and I were totally ecstatic afterwards.

1TJ: What are your general future plans for T.W.A.T.?

Martin: I just want to continue writing good songs and keep getting better and better at doing that. Hopefully we will also get to play live a lot more! That’s perhaps the best part of making music and having a band. The feeling is amazing.

1TJ: You have released all your music for free download for everyone so far. Very few bands do this nowadays, so what motivated you to do it?

Martin: I’m not doing this for the money. I think our music should be for everyone to enjoy, not just people who can afford to buy it. So the full album will be available for free download for everyone and on CD as a collectors-item.

1TJ: Do the letters in T.W.A.T. stand for something in particular?

Martin: Yes, but that is a huge secret, and if I told you - I would have to kill you!

As Eine Tasse Jäger dispatches spies to interrogate T.W.A.T. for the meaning of these letters, look out for future updates on the details about the new album! Check their official homepage for discography, lyrics, videos and free song downloads!

New releases from Ionic Vision, Sturm Café, and live events in Italy

Elektro Kommando presents two events this winter and spring, both taking place in Italy.

Ionic Vision (accompanied by Halo Effect) will perform this Saturday (January 16th) in Club House Europe in Napoli. This event will also present the newest release from Ionic Vision, entitled "Complete Isolation". Exclusive to this occasion, the band will bring the special very limited version of the album, including an additional 8 track EP. Details about the event can be viewed here.

Some months later (April 3rd) will present another old school EBM event in Rome, at Traffic Club. Headlined by Sturm Café and KROPP, this will be a great opportunity for those who missed those two "last" concerts by Sturm Café last year. The band was announced dead last February, and after 1 year's silence it has reborn with a new energy and is here to stay (hopefully forever this time!). The fresh and optimistic announcement from Sturm Café themselves can be read here.

Expect the release of 7" vinyl single "Koka Kola Freiheit" during January or February. The band otherwise promises more gigs and releases in the future, which will be spawned from their own label "Sturm Café Records". Take Café!

Watch this blog during the next few days for T.W.A.T. interview and a review of the magnificent old school EBM compilation "Der Arbeitende Mensch".

2010 brings this in oldschool EBM!

Happy new year from Eine Tasse Jäger!

Here is some of the great music that 2010 promises to bring us. There will be more, so watch out for future blog updates!

Sturm Café: Once declared dead, the band is still alive! The 7" release that was mentioned almost 1 year ago, is being finished and should be released any time now. A few live shows are planned, and one in Sweden is already lined up for 6th March, and a gig in Rome together with KROPP lined up for 3rd April. Check out the band's Myspace page for two new songs (Koka Kola Freihet and Sicherheit). They show a new sound, which remains 100% oldschool, and despite being slightly farther away from typical anhalt EBM sound, still is raw and tough as it always has been.

AutoDaFeh: The one band that brought back the original sound of Front 242 last year is back with a new full-length album "Identity Unknown", that will be released in late February. Expect more of the same magnificent sound, this time very fittingly including a remix from Front 242.

Agrezzior: This project now features Johan Damm (stahlwerk! stahlwerk!), adding to the powerful sound of the band. Expect a new album "Domination" sometime soon, as the band has found their label and have been presenting new songs on their Myspace recently.

Guerrilla: The word of a debute-album has been floating around since last autumn, and it has been apparent for a while that it is delayed. However it is clear that the band is more than ready for a release as they have been continuously presenting new tracks on their Myspace. The outstanding quality of their take on oldschool EBM is very clear in these tracks, listen for yourself!

Signal Aout 42: One of the real legends of oldschool EBM already returned with a new album a few years back. This February promises another new full-length release, which apparently will be closer to their musical roots.

T.W.A.T.: They have launched a new web-page with a few free downloads and other interesting info. The new album is going to be released any time now! Oi!

Void Kampf: The new album has been promised from their label for quite a while now, and it seems the definite date is January 2010. "Severe Mais Juste" will have a whole ton of new tracks, including remixes from both old legendary and newer EBM bands.

Pouppée Fabrikk: Another truly legendary old band returns with a new release during summer 2010. The band has shown a few in-the-works sounds from the new album on youtube, and a new very informative official web-page has been launched.

Old School Electrology Vol. 1: The Great Steelworker informs that this beast of oldschool EBM and electro should reach its fans in early 2010, as the pre-orders have picked up, and if they keep the same rate. This project depends entirely on its fans, because a release of such size (four CDs with 81 exclusive tracks) in the underground scene is entirely non-commercial.

Bodytåget: The Swedish oldschool EBM festival, always located in Sugar Bar in Stockholm has a few dates lined up for this winter and spring. Watch their web-page for specific information. Here are the bands of varying genres that will perform at different times this half-year: Mergel Kratzer, Mechatronic, Sturm Café, No Sleep By The Machine (remember this name!), Astma, Restricted Area, Project X, The Pain Machinery, Tyske Ludder, and The Blister Exists.

Familientreffen VI: The best festival around is lined up for July 1-4th this year and already has a great line-up. One extra day with foreplay, and a mix of old school ebm legends and newer bands, as always. Bands lined up so far are: Armageddon Dildos, Schwefelgelb, EkoBrottsMyndigheten, C.C.C.P., Astma, T.W.A.T., Groupe T, aaak, and Hatbrott. This is only a small handful of the total line-up, which will be revealed by Electric Tremor as summer approaches. Watch out for updates!

Merry Christmas from 1TJ! Here are a few gifts: Oldschool Union & Container 69

A few Christmas gifts from old school ebm bands for your Christmas parties!

Container 69: A free single about the major Swedish alcohol provider: Systembolaget. Drink up and stomp around the tree!

Oldschool Union: A new free Christmas song, as always in Finnish!

Enjoy, & thanks to these bands!

Old School Electrology - only a few pre-orders left!

The legendary beast of old school electro and EBM has been in the works for several years now. The intention was to release it this November, but the label ran into financial difficulties, due to unexpectedly slow pre-order rate, based on its underground nature. All is well, however - Old School Electrology Vol 1. is only a few pre-orders away from being sent to its faithful fans.

That is, the label needs a few pre-orders to be able to finance its proper release. In case you have been planning to acquire this huge collection of 81 entirely exclusive tracks, now would be the time, before the remaining few copies are grabbed up. The Great Steelworker of Electro Aggression Records has promised that Old School Electrology will be able for digital purchase download sometime in the far future, but because of the underground nature of this scene, projects this big in size take a lot of time.

In case you aren't familiar with all this legendary EBM talk, feel free to visit the official label page and eye the never-ending track list. Some audio snippets are available as well if you scroll down, so you can also ear it.

The poster for this release does a great job describing what it includes on the inside. Those pearls, that the big muscularly men are picking up, represent the exclusive tracks by the old school EBM and old school electro scene's finest bands (the big muscularly men are of course us, the faithful fans). In case you aren't a muscular man/woman, you can do push-ups while listening to Old School Electrology, because all these tracks are filled with pure old school EBM and electro FORCE!

Bodystyler with a new release, and a few upcoming old school EBM events

Some of you may remember the good old Altmark Elektros (or Projekt A:E), and the several other projects which were spawned from it. One of these is Bodystyler - the playful and catchy, yet hard beating old school EBM band, which definetly stands out in the modern EBM scene with its own special sound. Time has come for their first album release, which will come this December 14th on Electric Tremor. The release is entitled "Your Boots" and includes a remix by the legendary old-schoolers Escalator from
Hungary. For a demonstration of Bodystyler's sounds, make sure to check their Myspace or one of their videos on youtube.

And a note on an event in a farther future (March, 6th). It presents two of the newer bands that have recently been released by Electric Tremor: Camping Im Keller (headliner) and the first ever concert by Human R3source, in Beatclub Dessau. Watch this blog for more detailed introductions to those bands in the near future. The concert

itself will also include a performance from Rummelsnuff. The event is in addition a part of a special occasion: a festival dedicated to Kurt Weill, a famous and leading German composer of the 20th century, who was also a close friend of the poet Bertolt Brecht.

Otherwise, if you are near Stockholm this weekend (that is Saturday 5th, tomorrow), make sure not to miss the last concert of Bodytåget this year. Three quality bands are lined up: Armageddon Dildos, AD:keY, and Stockholm Wrecking Crew. This does not bode well for structures in Stockholm, but it without any doubt will be a great old school EBM experience! Make sure to check the collection of free songs from SWC (link on the right).

Tech Nomader and a radio show about anhalt ebm

A quick notice for tomorrow (Friday, 20th November): an online radio show is hosting an interview with Tech Nomader, the unique old school EBM band from Spain! Make sure to check their Myspace for new tracks as well!

Additionally, there will be talk of Familientreffen and old school EBM in general. I am not sure if it will be in Spanish or English, but in case you won't understand the words, there will be music to listen to!

The radio stream can be accessed here: http://www.sektor4.org/sektor/index.htm

The start-time for the program is 22:00 GMT.

SWEBM

This post will be exclusively about Swedish old school EBM.

First and foremost, in Norway (because everyone knows it is just a small Swedish province), you can experience EkoBrottsMyndigheten play live tomorrow, on Xelabration 2009, among with 3 other bands. Although it's a very short notice in case you live in Norway and haven't heard of this before, old school EBM events are extremely rare here, so don't miss this chance.

Moving on, the second volume of the legendary Swedish Oldschool EBM EP is released on 7th November, once again featuring the fantastic cover art. The new EP will feature Kropp (Vad SKall Du Ha På Dig Ikväll), SPARK! (Ett Lejon i Dig), T.W.A.T. (Battleground), and Container 90 (Two Thousand and Nine). The release itself will take place on a Swedish old school ebm festival in Stockholm, which will consist of a long and great night with live performances from Body Pleasure, KROPP, SPARK!, and EkoBrottsMyndigheten. This night will also see the EP release from Body Pleasure.

It doesn't end there. T.W.A.T. is soon finishing their debut album with the awesome title "Blood, Sweat & Teargas", which will probably be released both as a physical collector's item as well as online. Watch this blog for more information: soon an interview with this unique Oi! inspired old school ebm project will appear.

Later this year will also see the release of the first demo from Stockholm Wrecking Crew and the debut album from Hatbrott, which is released as soon as next week. View this link for information!

Jäger 90 - Drischne Skasal: a review

Do you miss the really old school electronics and keep looking 30 or so years back in time for your musical pleasures, for Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft with its playful Neue Deutsche Welle influences and the originating sound of EBM, but feel that you have heard it too many times already? Look no further! The answer lies in the new release from Jäger 90 - Drischne Skasal. The sound, the lyrics, and the attitude of this album remind of DAF and everything that is oldschool electronic quality.

Drischne Skasal has 12 new songs, of which some feel like a natural continuing from their previous album "Muskeln und Küsse" (i.e. Richtung Westen and Dessau), while others are of a slightly different style which reminds a lot of DAF (such as Zu Jung or Unsere Jugend) through use of certain sounds and instruments, as well as tempo, vocals, and attitude. It must however be noted that Jäger 90 do not simply copy this style, but are rather strongly influenced by it. This album is less aggressive than their previous release, but it is energetic and catchy, with melodies that only Jäger 90 can create. Words will not make justice in describing, so listen to song snippets for yourself on their myspace page.

Jäger 90 have created a masterpiece that fights against the killing of oldschool EBM! Drischne Skasal will appeal to every fan of old school EBM, and certainly to everyone who misses the real good old Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft sound. Through this it really stands out as a unique release in the scene of modern EBM. If I had to rate this album it would get top score right away: 10+

First release from Oldschool Union, and a few more coming up albums this autumn

Out of nowhere this year came Oldschool Union, a very strong and fast project from Finland. As the name indicates, this is all about old school ebm, a very quality-minded one. Faster than usual EBM, with entirely Finnish lyrics, Oldschool Union emerges as a pretty unique musical project. In addition to being featured on the Oldschool Electrology Vol 1., it has now released an official album "Vanha Koulu", which you can buy directly from Oldschool Union itself. This you can do through the band's Myspace or sending an e-mail directly. Information about pricing and details can be found here.

Additionally, this autumn will bring a new EP from Body Pleasure, which will be released during their gig in Stockholm, on November 7th. You can hear some of the songs on their myspace, and more will come soon.

And next month, on October 17th, there will be another nice old school EBM compilation released, entitled "Help Can't Wait Compilation". With quite a line-up too. View the track listhere, and the general information about this project on their myspace.

And in the end, the new Jäger 90 album "Drischne Skasal" STILL hasn't arrived from Electric Tremor, although it should have been here more than two weeks ago, and I know I am not the only one. If you are looking to buy this album, the best choice would be to look for a different shop that will eventually get it, as Electric Tremor apparently has some sort of problem with the orders.

It's on! Old School Electrology is in pre-order status!

The long awaited Old School Electrology Vol 1. release is finally finnished and can now be pre-ordered (through Paypal). 4 cd's filled with finest music from old school and anhalt EBM and dark electro. This includes both old legendary bands that return with exclusive new tracks and remixes of other songs, and newer bands, of which some are entirely new and therefore will get great (and well deserved) exposure through this legendary release. Many of the bands promoted in this blog are included - scroll down for complete track list and start the drooling process! The pre-order is now possible, and the release will come to your mail box during late November, so there will be lots of drool till then.

Jäger 90 - Drischne Skasal and Autodafeh - Re:Electro

The new Jäger 90 "Drischne Skasal" album is finally available for preorder from Electric Tremor Shop. The wait is over and the masters of old school ebm in the unique fashion of DAF have made 12 new songs for our listening and stomping pleasure! The tracks are as follow:

01. Der Verzicht

02. Dessau

03. Mehr Von Dir

04. Verbrecher (Das Dunkle Das Böse)

05. Drischne Skasal

06. Süss Und Sauer

07. Für Die Ewigkeit

08. Zu Jung

09. Richtung Westen

10. Komm

11. Lass Mich Doch

12. Unsere Jugend

Der Verzicht was formerly know from Bomb Likör!, which was a side project, and now is canceled. The preorder of Drischne Skasal means that it should arrive at 14th September. We can't wait!

And to go in a slightly different direction of old school ebm, namely the Front 242 influenced Autodafeh release Re:Electro, which is now available for digital purchase. Otherwise it can be bought as a complete physical album from Sigsaly. Re:Electro is also a very

unique release, because so far Autodafeh is the only band that really digs into the past and old Front 242 to recreate their magnificent powerful sound and force. It certainly will appeal to any fan of old Front 242!

Good news for Spotify users: Jäger 90 and Dupont

For those who use Spotify to listen to music, you can now get a taste of old school and anhalt EBM there as well. Their huge music database has been filled up with all of Electro Arc's compilations, which are a mix of all sorts of minimal electronic and industrial music, as well as the magnificent Electro Bosom.Buddies.Music compilation, which is oldschool and anhalt ebm exclusive.

Additionally you can find Jäger 90 "Muskeln und Küsse" album,

and the new Dupont album "Entering The Ice Age", which gives a very nice mix of hard old school EBM (i.e. Behave and Run For Protection) and a special kind of synthpop that somehow always keeps a touch of EBM in it.

And, while speaking of Dupont, if you are nearby Leipzig and Frankfurt this weekend (that is today and tomorrow, 21 and 22 August), make sure not to miss their live concerts with SPARK!, Angstfabrik, and Armageddon Dildos.

For those who don't know what Spotify is: it's a tiny music program which is run by ads and subscriptions, and has an enormous music collection of all possible genres. To get it for free, search google for "spotify invites".

Here is to hoping that it will add more old school ebm to its collections!

Spotify links:

Dupont - Entering The Ice Age

Electro Arc: Net.Ware Twist Of Fate Compilation, plus more music coming soon: Jäger 90, AD:KeY, and Autodafeh

Another new compilation from Intrendent and his Electro Arc: Net.Ware Twist Of Fate Compilation.

This time of a much broader musical range, including general EBM, Industrial, Future Pop, and our beloved minimal electronics. Of bands this blog promotes, two are included with new songs:

Bodystyler and Batch ID. You can listen to samples and buy this compilation or single songs here.

This autumn brings lots of new music to old school EBM fans. Among many others (which will be presented soon in the nearest future), there are new releases coming from Jäger 90, AD:KeY, and AutoDaFeh.

Jäger 90 have already finnished their fourth album (second on label) and "Drischne Skasal" will be released on September 15th, on Electric Tremor, and will have whole 12 new songs. Days are being counted until then!

Autodafeh continue their heavy mix of oldschool Nitzer Ebb and Front 242 with an EP release in a few days, and a whole new album release in October. The EP "Re:electro" features 7 new tracks, and will be available from 21. August.

And AD:KeY have entitled their new album "That's it!" and plan to release it some time during autumn!

Additionally, the long awaited Old School Electrology Bible is finally approaching it's finnish, and should be released sometime during this October, with pre-orders available in September (more details will follow as this legendary release comes closer!).
