Abrasive, mechanical noise rock that feels like a panic attack in a steel mill. Harsh industrial textures meet the raw fury of hardcore punk.
Formed in 2013 by Michael Berdan and Ben Greenberg, Uniform has become a cornerstone of the modern New York City underground. Their sound is a calculated collision of industrial metal, noise rock, and thrash, characterized by Greenberg's 'blown-out' guitar production and Berdan's harrowing vocal performances.
The project evolved from a duo utilizing drum machines and synths into a more traditional band structure with the addition of live drummers like Mike Sharp, though they never lost their mechanical, cold edge. Their career is marked by a prolific output on Sacred Bones Records and high-profile collaborations with The Body, which solidified their position in the experimental metal scene. Critical consensus highlights their ability to modernize the 'Wax Trax!' aesthetic while infusing it with the raw, confessional intensity of hardcore punk. They are frequently cited alongside peers like Street Sects and KEN mode for pushing the boundaries of heavy, electronic-integrated rock music.
