The Membranes
The Membranes formed out of punk and DIY culture and then went on their own path. The band reformed a couple of years ago to play music on their own terms. They are still inspired by punk rock but believe music has no boundaries.
The new music weaves noise, drones, found percussion, feedback, discord, melody, free jazz, dub, dark- dub, free punk, heavy rhythms, classical music, orchestras, percussion, near silence, death to traditional rock noise and freedom into a unique whole of beauty and noise and enjoys all the contrasts.
The highly influential UK underground band, the Membranes recently reformed. In the 80s they developed a dark and discordant and wild music that was at the forefront of the Death To Trad Rock UK underground scene documented in the recent ‘Death To trad Rock’ book available from here.
