Portion Control - Hardman

[@brainleisurebrainattack8708]

This group is on of the pionners of electronic body music... industrial, minimal noise, and many others styles....

Great Song for a Great Band!

That style was named because of "Industrial Records", a label founded by TG in the 70's. In addition to the pioneers many bands of the early 80's were "officially" labeled as industrial at the time, like SPK, Einsturzende Neubauten, Esplendor Geometrico, Whitehouse, Test Dept., etc... After this the style evolved in many sub-genres (EBM, Dark Ambient, Power Electronics, Industrial Rock, Rhythmic Noise, Neofolk ...) more or less closer to the original sound but likewise categorized as Industrial.

@baraqijal15 Industrial music was invented in the late 70's by Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire, Monte Cazazza, etc... Early Portion Control's albums were very close to this sound, listen to "I Staggered Mentally" or "Gaining Momentum", for example

[@baraqijal15]

@fashionsucker Actually the band considers themselves to be "Hard Rhythmic electronics/electro-punk"... "INDUSTRIAL" wasn't invented till the late 80's..

[@baraqijal15]

@berjenDreadfulHours maybe the style was invented. but it wasnt considered industrial till the late 80's.

Hard Rythim electronics, why it didn't become a great thing?

[@brainleisurebrainattack8708]

Totally EBM!

[@fashionsucker]

@baraquijal15 ... yes you are right, the fact that I called them "industrial" was wishful thinking (new release is announced). they are doing sound since decades without being softwashed by techno and were first called electric body music .. my bad :)

[@SatirSatirSatir]

Somebody recomnd me this band. Thanx!

[@BartNelis]

are you sure this is the right RPM ? ... this actually sounds quite good when played 1.25 speed (youtube player) ... but the voice otho doesn't sound pitched down .. strange

[@baraqijal15]

@berjenDreadfulHours yea your right.

[@fashionsucker]

( @das81 ) ... itS called "INDUSTRIAL"

[@switchbladestefan6867]

So what the fuck is with people uploading songs that have like 3 or so minutes of complete silence?

[@FredrikSolborg]

Here is the song performed live and recorded by me: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqPcpKKaqstmmc0

whoS a bitch ?? ( yes .. they ARE .. they came to Berlin around nov´09 and feb´10 (not sure yet, we have so many cool concerts) .. very electrifyong to ALL ( and with this I mean dinosaurs + freshmates ) .. cool mood, but besides their "evergreens" a bit too soft and slow for my taste ) I am pretty sad that there was no industrial elaborated as a style itself and that those great bands like spk and test dept. vanished in graves or - like others - went over to become a house combo
