PROPAGANDA was well known from 1982 to 1990, before the addition of the “x”. The band was founded by former DIE KRUPPS member Ralf Dörper. Together with Susanne Freytag and Andreas Thein, the trio recorded two tracks. Michael Mertens and Claudia Brücken joined in 1983. That same year, the band signed with the English label ZTT Records and released the single ‘Dr. Mabuse’. They were met with criticism and negative headlines.
