Atari Teenage Riot’s New EP Collapse of History

Atari Teenage Riot premiered their new video for the first single “Collapse of History” on YouTube.
The dramatic and energetic video was shot in a mental institution in the Parisian suburbs.

Back in April, Atari Teenage Riot set out on an international tour with new band member Rowdy Superstar. After playing Mexico, both weekends at Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, ATR heads to South America and Europe (see tour dates below).

Alec Empire: “Our new single is called “Collapse of History”! It is an anthem for our generation, about information overload in the Digital Age. The track has a big war chant, which went down extremely well with festival crowds since we started playing it live.

It’s another single that is sung by Nic Endo who takes ATR into a new direction where B52’s, L7, riot grrrl, Blondie and Deee-Lite are an inspiration. I had to do forty overdubs, because we thought it would be funny to have a little army of Alec Empire clones singing along. The biggest inspiration for this song was probably the Atari video game classic Pong.”
