"Kids Are United!" is a song by the German digital hardcore group Atari Teenage Riot, initially released as a single in 1993 on 12", 7", and CD formats. The track is largely based around a sample from the Sham 69 song "If the Kids Are United". [1]
Initially released as a stand-alone single in 1993, the track later found its way onto the group's first full-length effort Delete Yourself! in 1995. That same year, the Kids Are United E.P. was released, containing the title track and 8 extra tracks. One of those tracks, "Not Your Business", would later find its own separate release, as well as being issued on the band's second full-length, The Future of War . Also released in 1995 was a limited edition 7" containing live recordings of both "Kids Are United!" and "Start The Riot!", which was released as an edition of 1000. Note that the 7" version of the original 1993 single only contained the title track and "Cyberpunks Are Dead!".

Atari Teenage Riot (ATR) is a German band formed in Berlin in 1992. Highly political, they fuse left-wing, anarchist and anti-fascist views with punk vocals and a techno sound called digital hardcore, which is a term band member Alec Empire used as the name of his record label Digital Hardcore Recordings.

In music, a single is a type of release, typically a song recording of fewer tracks than an LP record or an album. One can be released for sale to the public in a variety of formats. In most cases, a single is a song that is released separately from an album, although it usually also appears on an album. In other cases a recording released as a single may not appear on an album.
An extended play (EP) is a musical recording that contains more tracks than a single but fewer than an album or LP record. Contemporary EPs generally contain four to five tracks, and are considered "less expensive and time-consuming" for an artist to produce than an album. An EP originally referred to specific types of records other than 78 rpm standard play (SP) and LP, but it is now applied to mid-length CDs and downloads as well. In K-pop they are usually referred to as mini albums. Ricardo Baca of The Denver Post said, "EPs—originally extended-play 'single' releases that are shorter than traditional albums—have long been popular with punk and indie bands." In the United Kingdom, the Official Chart Company defines a boundary between EP and album classification at 25 minutes of maximum length and no more than four tracks.
Alec Empire is a German experimental electronic musician who is best known as a founding member of the band Atari Teenage Riot, as well as a solo artist, producer and DJ.

He was also the driving force behind the creation of the digital hardcore genre, and founded the record labels Digital Hardcore Recordings and Eat Your Heart Out Records.
