The Toten Crackhuren im Kofferraum (TCHIK), literally translated as "The Dead Crack Whores in the Trunk," is a German punk band that is as notorious for their provocative name as they are for their energetic music and irreverent take on societal issues. Originating from Berlin, the band features a mostly female lineup and has carved out a niche for themselves in the German music scene with their audacious lyrics and blend of punk, electropop, and hip-hop influences.

Since their inception in the late 2000s, TCHIK has become a symbol of nonconformity and anti-establishment views, often reflected in their songs, which satirize various aspects of modern culture and politics. Tracks like "Ich brauch' keine Wohnung" and "Jobcenterfotzen" tackle issues of housing crisis and unemployment, respectively, while songs such as "bitchlifecrisis" and "OK Ciao" play with themes of personal identity and societal expectations with a mix of humor and cynicism. Their recent work continues to showcase their unapologetic style and commitment to addressing contemporary topics while engaging their audience with catchy hooks and beats.
