ATTRITION are pioneers in a darker electronica. Formed in 1980 in Coventry, England, influenced by a mix of punkideology and experimental art aesthetics, they emerged as part of the early '80's UK Industrial scene alongside
contemporaries Coil, Test Department, Legendary Pink Dots, In The Nursery, Portion Control et al.
Founder Martin Bowes has steered the band through a 37 year career, fuelled by a succession of critically acclaimed
albums...a selling over 100,000 to date.
The band has regularly toured Europe, North America and South America, Russia and Asia, appeared at major festivals
and had their music included on a number of TV and film soundtracks...
Through their career Attrition have worked with musicians as diverse as psychedelic veterans The Legendary Pink
Dot’s to punk legend TV Smith to Franck Dematteis of the Paris Opera.
Attrition’s music has featured on countless releases - from 1984’s “Bullshit detector 3” on Crass records to the hugely
successful “Animal liberation” album alongside Siouxsie & the Banshees, The Smiths, Nina Hagen & Lene Lovich etc…
Their song “Acid Tongue” featured on KTEL’s Industrial story CD - a who’s who of industrial music with Cabaret
Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle, Ministry, Nitzer Ebb, Neubauten et al…
In Germany Orkus magazine’s Best of the 90’s collection featured their darkwave classic “A girl called harmony”…
"Attrition have always been a nexus of industrial fury, gothic drama, ambient structural finesse and classical chamber
orchestrations. Stunning in scope, character and intellect, Martin Bowes has been a paragon of true creative prowess,
holding in two hands the past and future of music, and smashing them together with a calculated and charismatic
menace. Bowes builds his dark industrial music with all the compassion and attention to detail of a classical musician..."
RELIQUIA are a Goth Rock/Doom Metal band hailing from Manchester featuring current and former members of Shades of Avalon, The Machinist, Golden Gardens and Push Button Press.
S*ITSOW are a punk collective formed around relentless, melodic chaos.
