An Entity of Type: agent, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

MX-80, also known as MX-80 Sound, is an eclectic American art-rock band founded in 1974 in Bloomington, Indiana, United States, by guitarist Bruce Anderson. Considered “one of the most out of step but prescient bands of its time", MX-80's signature sound consisted of breakneck metallic guitar combined with atonal chord structure, cross-rhythmic percussion and dispassionate vocals. Notoriously difficult to categorize—the band has been labeled noise rock, post-punk, acid punk, and heavy-metal—MX-80's sonic melange set the stage for bands such as Swans, Sonic Youth, Codeine, and Shellac.

  • Gli MX-80 Sound sono un gruppo musicale post-punk statunitense formatosi nel 1974 a Bloomington, Indiana e tuttora in attività. Nel 1978 la band si è trasferita a San Francisco e ha costituito insieme ai Residents, ai Chrome e ai Tuxedomoon il cosiddetto "quadrato di San Francisco", formato dai quattro gruppi più importanti della scena musicale locale dell'epoca. Punto in comune di tutti e quattro le formazioni era il far parte della Ralph Records, etichetta discografica underground fondata dagli stessi Residents, e una notevole sperimentazione musicale. Sono stati di cruciale importanza per l'evoluzione del noise e dell'alternative rock. (it)
