About Tyske Ludder
Tyske Ludder is a German EBM band formed in 1989 by Claus Albers and Olaf A. Reimers in Lower Saxony, Germany. The band’s name translates to “German whore” in Danish and Norwegian, a term historically used to describe local women involved with German soldiers during World War II .
Emerging from the new wave and new romantic scenes, Tyske Ludder transitioned to EBM in the early 1990s, focusing on themes like technological dominance, warfare, and U.S. military interventions . Their discography includes albums such as “Bombt die Mörder?” (1994), “Dalmarnock” (1995), “Sojus” (2006), “Anonymous” (2009), “Diaspora” (2011), and “Evolution” (2015) .
The band experienced a period of inactivity around the turn of the millennium due to internal disagreements. However, they re-emerged in 2004 and have continued to produce new material and perform live since then .
The current lineup includes Claus Albers (vocals), Olaf A. Reimers (keyboards, programming), Jay Taylor (drums, joined in 2014), and Sebastian I. Hartmann (producer, sound design, active periods: 2009–2012, rejoined in 2019) . Former members include Ralf Homann (1991–2016) and Lars Bürvenich (1995–1996) .
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
