[edit] Introduction
Along with Throbbing Gristle, SPK, Whitehouse and others Sutcliffe Jügend were amoung the earliest pioneers of Industrial/Noise/Power Electronics scene of the early 80's. Sutcliffe Jügend began in early 1982 as a sub-project from Kevin Tomkins then main band, Whitehouse, and instantly gained notoriety as one of the harshest exponents of the original Power Electronics scene. Extreme both musically and lyrically, the sheer brutality of Sutcliffe Jügend's music has rarely been equalled.
The Band took a haitus in the mid-80's which lasted till 1995 when they started up full time and are still going strong now. The first live appearance by Sutcliffe Jügend was at the Red Rose London 27th August 2005. The show was filmed for Redemption TV in the UK. A cd of the whole performance called 'Live Assault 01' is available on RRRecords.
The band released a Boxed set of 10 cassettes titled "We Spit On Their Graves" in 1982 on Come Organisation, which was then bootlegged into a 10 vinyl LP Boxed set later on, Both of which now change hands for 3 figure sums.
