Mark Stewart's industrial-leaning project after The Pop Group, known for minimal arrangements and unsettling themes.
For a quick sense of their sound, try 'Alone' or 'Box Of Six', both have that minimal, tense quality they were known for.
G/Z/R's debut album 'O' Mensch!' came out in 1978 with songs like 'Drive Boy, Shooting' that established their stark, unsettling sound. Their music drew from post-punk and industrial influences, with tracks like 'Misfit' and 'Alone' exploring themes of alienation through minimal arrangements and Stewart's distinctive vocal delivery. They collaborated with figures from the industrial and experimental scenes like Genesis P-Orridge of Throbbing Gristle, maintaining a confrontational edge that resonated with a particular audience during that period.
G/Z/R formed in London in 1977, with Mark Stewart on vocals after his time in The Pop Group. They released several albums through the early 1980s including 'No Wave' in 1979 and 'The Black Mass' in 1981. The band stopped releasing new material after 1984.
