What their label says...

DER TPK IS THE CHARMING ACRONYM FOR DER TEENAGE PANZER KORPS, AND ANYONE WHO CAN’T APPRECIATE THE IMAGERY OF A PIPSQUEAK QUARTET OF FUZZY, DISTORTED YOUTH, DRENCHED IN DIY TESTOSTERONE, RUMBLING OUT FROM SEWERS AND INTO THE STREET, JUST HASN’T BEEN VIBING ON THE CORRECT HISTORY CHANNEL. BASED OUTTA PARTS UNKNOWN (GERMANY? CALIFORNIA? IS THERE A DIFFERENCE?), DER TPK GNASH AND GNARL THROUGH THE CHARRED LANDSCAPE OF THE UNDERGROUND LIKE A SMALL BATTALION OF TIGER TANKS BLASTING ACROSS THE STEPPES OF THE UKRAINE. THEIR SONIC ATTACK AT TIMES RECALLS THE ANXIOUS THROB OF MARS IN THEIR PRIME, BUT SUDDENLY IT SHIFTS AND YOU COULD SWEAR YOU WERE LOCKED IN BATTLE WITH, UH, LISTENING TO, THAT IS THE EARLY DISCORDANT RUMBLE OF SAVAGE REPUBLIC. PROPER FULL-LENGTH LP DEBUT FROM STORM TROOPIN’ NO-WAVE YOUTH OUTFIT. LIMITED, ONE-TIME-ONLY VINYL EDITION. PREVIOUS RELEASES ON SKULLTONES AND PINK SKULLS (VIA JEWELLED ANTLER COLLECTIVE) ARE OUT-OF-PRINT AND MEGA-RARE
