Birth Control

About

Birth Control was an experimental rock and proto-industrial band active during the early 1970s, emerging from the European underground music scene. Their sound blended rock fundamentals with avant-garde and noise elements, reflecting the era's growing interest in electronic experimentation and unconventional song structures. The band's discography, including their 1971 debut Operation and subsequent releases Hoodoo Man (1972) and Backdoor Possibilities (1976), demonstrated a willingness to push boundaries across multiple albums. Their 1972 compilation Believe In The Pill: Best Of Birth Control served as a retrospective of their early work, documenting their evolution during a pivotal period for experimental music. While detailed information about specific members and production remains limited in available records, Birth Control's body of work suggests they occupied an interesting space between psychedelic rock and emerging industrial aesthetics, contributing to the broader underground movements that would influence experimental and noise music throughout the 1970s and beyond.
