1) BIRTH CONTROL were formed at the end of sixties. In those early years they played hybrid jazz rock compositions, mainly instrumental. They recorded their first album for Metronome bringing to the fore an accent for humour and provoking thoughts (the name of the band and the album cover illustrate it as well). Their second album “Operation” shows a great improvement in sound, a kind of heavy rock based sound with subtle jazzy arrangements. This album had a great success for the Ohr label (specialised to promote the rise of the German underground rock scene). In 1972, “Believe InThe Pill” was also released for Ohr. After several replacements, the quintet recorded “Rebirth”, a progressive heavy rock album. In 1976, “Blackdoor Possibilities” was a commercial failure due to a more mainstream sound and the inclusion of more jazz elements. “Increase” recorded in 1977 marked a return to the hard rock source. BIRTH CONTROL come back to light in the 90s for many reunion albums as “Jungle Life” or “Two Worlds”.

2) Birth Control are also a newer band from Philadelphia, featuring Sean McGuiness of Pissed Jeans. They play a strange form of punk that embodies anything that defies normality and embraces the unknown. They’re music, if capable of being compared to anything/anyone at all, is similar to having your questions constantly going unanswered.
