Determinedly confrontational with music and ideas based in terms of noise, industry, art and anything non-rock, Throbbing Gristle were described as ‘the wreckers of society’ by unbeknownst-PR man, conservative MP Nicholas Fairborn. Throbbing Gristle and Industrial Records paved the way for industrial music and experimental electronic music.
