Ian Hicks and Patricia Hall were brought together through
a common love of 1970s and 80s synthesizer music.
Inspiration came to them by way of experimental electronic sounds,
film soundtracks, early industrial music, minimal synth, house,
techno, synth pop, krautrock, psychedelic rock and shoegaze.

The poor man’s Ministry: Tit Wrench

Tit Wrench is one of my old favourite bands. They are come from Chula Vista (near San Diego in California). It was founded sometime end of the 80s. They played amazing lo-fi electro hardcore punk and released some singles, maxis and three albums. Here is the Tit Wrench mega hit: Live Sucks, Do Me (1991), and here is the extended acid house version: LSD Me (1993). Later the band’s music turned into experimental electronic, then there was a long silence. But not long ago… Fanfares! The Tit Wrench has reunited and written some new songs! A new one and more.
