  Checkpoint Charlie

  Multiple bands go or have gone by the name Checkpoint Charlie.
  
  1) Checkpoint Charlie was formed in spring, 2006, in Budapest, Hungary. Their style is simple: metal. The group was founded by Tamás Süle after he had left his former group P.O.T.. Practices started in May, with no solo singer at that time. It was in September that this position was filled, too, so the group could drive all their members’ energy into fully elaborating their songs. Concerts were given from the end of 2006, and the first EP with 4 songs was made at this time, too. The members of Checkpoint Charlie had played in many different formats before, so they all know what exactly they expect from the band. Their main aim is to produce sincere, hard, modern metal music.
  The band had many shows at Hungary, Slovakia, Latvia, Lithuania, Austria.
  Their first LP came out in May, 2008, called Ordinary Madness.

  2) Checkpoint Charlie was formed in 1967 and named after the infamous checkpoint between the Eastern and Western zones of Berlin. They were part of the same pout rock wave as Floh De Cologne and Ton Steine Scherben. Their live recorded album Gruss Gott Mit Hellem Klang (1970) is probably the worst album of all time, at least when speaking about it in musical terms. For a large part it contained political agitation and theatrical pieces with violent screaming and some really obscene German language. The album was re-released in 1987 in a limited edition of 300 numbered copies, bearing the same CPM LPS 3 item number. Checkpoint Charlie disbanded in 1971.
  
  3) Checkpoint Charlie is also an unsigned band from the northern city of Luleå, Sweden. The band plays a heavy party pervaded rock’n’roll not far from the likes of Kiss, Mötley Crüe and AC/DC.
  
  4) Checkpoint Charlie was a Montréal rock band fomed in 2004, that has since changed it's name to Commanders and Chiefs.
