Knifeladder have been in existence in one form or another since 1998. Their sound is the culmination of years of experimentation and independent development. The resultant sound is a heavily percussive industrial organic hybrid, a new meshing of electronic loops, live bass and percussion with ethnic instrumentation to form a kind of Organic Industrial Music.
Two years after the release of "The Spectacle" they are back with a unique mix of hi-tech and lo-fi sounds, authoritative drums courtesy of the one and only John Murphy, and distorted obscure instruments.  Knifeladder have again produced a work of great  power. With shuddering machine loops overlaid with frenetic metal percussion and power ambient soundscapes melting into epic defiant anthems, "Music/Concrete" uses traditional hand played electronics and instrumentation to realise a  contemporary vision of rebirth and decay. Compared to such acts as est Dept, Coil and Mother Destruction, Knifeladder have  their reference points to create their own niche in the  Industrial scene.
The personnel include John Murphy, percussionist and electronic pioneer with such acts as SPK, early Current 93 and  pop act The Associates. Andrew Trail was founder of Autogeddon and performed in the controversial Ministry Of Love, who broke up after being banned from performing in every live venue in Sydney. Hunter Barr was a founder member of the infamous Infant Skull Surgery and is a recording engineer renowned for his unconventional yet obsessively perfectionist approach. Knifeladder themselves have performed with such acts as Allerseelen, Sieben, Naevus, Coil, Bad Sector and Neither/Neither World.
