Front 242 Music
Artist Overview
The harsh electronic dance sounds of the 1980s industrial outfit Front 242 owed a lot to Throbbing Gristle's cutting-edge arty abrasion and the structured experimentalism of Cabaret Voltaire. Embraced in the mid-1980s by the nascent Chicago dance underground fostered by the Wax Trax label, Front 242 became forebears of the techno revolution.
