Lard
Lard is an American punk/industrial supergroup formed in 1988, featuring Jello Biafra of Dead Kennedys fame on vocals, alongside members of the industrial metal band Ministry. The band's music combines the politically charged punk rock ethos of Biafra with the aggressive, industrial soundscapes of Ministry, resulting in a unique and hard-hitting sonic experience. Their debut EP, "The Power of Lard," and subsequent albums like "The Last Temptation of Reid" are known for their satirical and often scathing commentary on social and political issues.
Lard's influence extends beyond their recorded output, as their fusion of punk and industrial music has inspired numerous bands in both genres. Their live performances, though infrequent, are highly anticipated events, known for their intensity and Biafra's charismatic, confrontational stage presence. Despite a relatively small discography, Lard's impact on the punk and industrial scenes is significant, with their music continuing to resonate with fans who appreciate their bold, uncompromising approach.
