Atari Teenage Riot Offer Free Download of New Single
Atari Teenage Riot have just released their latest single, 'Blood In My Eyes', as a free download at http://tinyurl.com/41ytujk. The song features Nic Endo on lead vocals and gives fans a taste of their forthcoming release, 'Is This Hyperreal?,' due out this summer via Digital Hardcore Recordings.
The album is the band's first full-length release since 1999's '60 Second Wipeout.' The band split up in 2000, but reformed in 2010 to do a few reunion shows and issue a new song called 'Activate' through Soundcloud.com. The song featured ATR's newest member, CX KiDTRONiK, replacing Carl Crack who died of a drug overdose in 2001.
'Blood In My Eyes' focuses on the issue of women and human trafficking, their "sexuality exploited for financial gain right under the gaze of the ineffectual governments of the self-proclaimed civilized west," according to a statement from ATR.
The band's statement continues: "The song is a riveting electronic punk rock diatribe in typical Atari Teenage Riot form, paying homage to the feminine retributive subtexts popularized by cult films like 'Kill Bill' and heavily censored French art-house offering, 'Baise-Moi.' With its straight-forward throbbing 909 drum machine patterns, massive guitar riffs, ear-splitting adrenaline rushes of noise, and powerful female vocals, 'Blood In My Eyes' charges down an unswerving path determined to confront the future head on."
