Tocotronic compositions sheet music and chords

Tocotronic is a German rock band formed in 1993. Similar to Blumfeld or Die Sterne they are considered a part of the Hamburger Schule (Hamburg School) movement. They are influential for bands such as Wir sind Helden. Tocotronic were signed by L'Age D'Or, a German independent record label situated in Hamburg, in 1994 after quickly gaining popularity in the local scene. Their early style consisted of ironic sloganeering ("I want to be part of a youth movement") and almost diary-like songwriting, paired with a lo-fi rock sound with elements of punk rock and grunge. In 1995, Tocotronic released their debut album Digital ist besser (Digital is better). It was noted for its perceptive lyrics and raw, unpolished sound. Frank König described the album in SWR1 Milestones as "grungy, punky, furious and yearning".
