Example Album: Songs of The Groves
Location: USA
Years Active: 2018-2019
Style: Post-punk, metal percussion
Product KF were a post-punk band from Chicago. In the beginning their sound was pretty firmly post-punk, with an obvious influence from punk bands like Crisis. They put out two S/T demos in 2018. On their second demo, you can begin to hear the emergence of scrap metal percussion as slight accents to their music.
It was only during their debut and final LP, Songs of The Groves, that they really plunged into industrial percussion, mixed seamlessly with their post-punk foundation. The end result is an extremely gothic, melancholic, frostbitten post-punk record with top-notch metal percussion for accents.
To me, this album is a significant release because it continues a rather obscure and relatively unknown tradition of mixing post-punk with metal percussion industrial, of which I'm only aware of two other artists in the style, The Ex on Dignity Of Labour, and Tools You Can Trust.
Unfortunately since the release of their debut LP, they are no longer active.
