Ronnie Urini

Christian Brandl is a post-punk artist known for his involvement with the Austrian band Chupze. Brandl notably covered Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart." His vocal style and Ronnie Urini's claim of authorship lead to speculation he was involved with TMS.

Connection to Authorship Claim

Ronnie Urini claimed that he wrote TMS in collaboration with Christian Brandl towards the end of 1983. This claim has been met with skepticism due to a lack of hard proof and inconsistencies in his narrative.

There is evidence that Brandl and Urini collaborated during the 1980s, such as registered works with GEMA (the German music copyright association), such as the song "Stadt von Glas und Stahl", which was registered in the early 1980s.

While this lead has been only debunked by circumsantial evidence, Urini is a controversial figure within TMS community for his largely discredited ownership claim.
