Unit 187 is a Canadian Industrial band, started by John Morgan and Tod Law in 1994.
[edit] History
Unit 187 (also known as Unit:187) was formed in Vancouver, Canada. Vancouver industrial scene influences such as Frontline Assembly and Skinny Puppy helped guide the band to write their first self titled studio album which was released by 21st Circuitry in 1995. In 1998, the band's second album Loaded, produced by Devin Townsend gained critical acclaim with several of the songs becoming international favorites on the industrial music charts. In 1999, 21st Circuitry Records collapsed, and left the band to find a new home for their music. With much anticipation, 2001 saw Unit 187 release Capitol Punishment on COP International. Excellent mixes by Ken 'Hiwatt' Marshall and Anthony Valcic made the album standout as a the band's best to date and cemented their unique deep electronic sound as something apart from the ordinary.
Unit 187 is current working on music for a yet to be named 4th studio album.
