In the late 1990s, there emerged a new group of mixed races and genders that broke the boundaries and paved their own paths in the digital hardcore genre. Atari Teenage Riot exploded on the scene with their dark image as they grabbed audiences’ attention with their noisy techno and screaming their personal opinions regarding worldly issues. Last June, the German group dropped their newest piece of work, Is This Hyperreal?, from Dim Mak records in L.A. On Sept. 18 Atari Teenage Riot will be in Philadelphia to take on the Polaris nightclub. Soon after the group will be back in New York City as they are set to perform at the Gramercy Theatre on Sept. 23.
