Die Kruppsis a German electropunk, ebmand crossoverband formed in 1980 by Juergen Engler and Ralf Doerper. The band's name comes from the Krupp dynasty - one of pre-war Germany´s main industrialfamilies. This name was apparently chosen for its industrial connotations, as the band is strongly anti-Nazi. In some interviews the band stated that Visconti´s movie "The Damned" - a depiction of the fictitious German industrial dynasty of the Essenbecks - was the main inspiration. Die Krupps's debut EP, 1981's Stahlwerkssymphony, strongly resembled Einsturzende Neubauten.

Volle Kraft Voraus Lyrics
Die Krupps
Full Steam Ahead
Vor uns das Ziel/ Our goal ahead/
Keiner zoegert, keine Zeit/ no-one tarries and no time/
Alle Zeichen stehn auf Sturm/ all the signs are set for storm/
Volle Kraft voraus/ now, full steam ahead/
Seid ihr bereit/ Are you prepared/
Dann legt euch ins Zeug/ then give all you've got/
Alle Zeichen stehn auf Sturm/ all the signs are set for storm/
Volle Kraft voraus. now, full steam ahead.)
