Throbbing Gristle

Abrasive, aggressive and unapologetically art-house Throbbing Gristle have always balanced precariously over being a post-punk band and a sonic art project exploring themes of death, mutilation, fascism and the dehumanising of industrial society.

Called both the pioneers of industrial music and the 'wreckers of civilisation' by a confused press, their thunderous, almost psychotic anti-melodies, thunderous noise and bludgeoning noise has divided critics since they began. Their penchant for using angle grinders as instruments, cutting themselves up live on stage and drilling holes everywhere doesn't really help either.
