About — The artist

Pop Will Eat Itself (often abbreviated as PWEI) is an English alternative rock band formed in 1986 in Stourbridge in the West Midlands of England with members from Birmingham, Coventry and the Black Country. Initially known as a grebo act, they changed their style to incorporate sample-driven indie and industrial rock. Graham Crabb describes their sound as "electronic, punk, alternative hip-hop, hybrid music for fucking, fighting and smoking cigars". Their highest-charting single was the 1993 UK top-ten hit "Get the Girl! Kill the Baddies!". After initially disbanding in 1996 and briefly reforming in 2005, the band issued their first release in more than five years in 2010.
