Brought together in New York City under the name ‘Stiffs, Incorporated’, the group were active between 1992 and 1998. Their early material is influenced by 70’s English punk. Through theatrical shows and morbid lyrics they quickly developed an original style which can be described as ‘Post-Orwellian Victorian’.
