Two bands have used this name, an Australian and a Croatian.
1) SPK, formed 1978 in Australia, was a 1980s industrial and noise music act once featuring Graeme Revell who later went on to compose soundtracks for film and television, most notably the incidental music for CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
Details - Personal;
Operator - synthesisers, rhythms, treatments, vocals
Wilkins - guitars, bass, tapes, vocals
Mr. Clean - technician
Tone Generator - synthesisers, treatments
——-The group was formed when Revell (aka Operator) met up with Neil Hill (aka Ne/H/il). They were both working at a psychiatric hospital when they became inspired by the manifesto of the German radical Marxist group known as the Sozialistisches Patientenkollektiv (SPK). The following words, inspired by the SPK manifesto, are used on one of the band’s first recordings, Slogun (1979): “Kill, Kill, Kill for inner peace/ Bomb, Bomb, Bomb for mental health/ Therapy through violence!”. Dominik Guerin (aka Tone Generator) joined in 1980, and was later to concentrate on the band’s notorious visual content. Guerin and Revell recorded the first album, Information Overload Unit (1981), in a Vauxhall squat (during the Brixton riots in London) with the help of Revell’s brother Ash (aka Mr.Clean) and Wilkins (guitar/bass). After the recording of SPK’s second album, Leichenschrei (“The Scream of the Corpse”)(1982), they were joined by Sinan Leong, who had initially auditioned for a planned SPK side-project, Dance Macabre.

'' SPK: In our first album we tried to put a sperm capsule in every one. We lined up about five hundred capsules...and started putting the sperm in. After working hours, when we were finishing up the 500th, we noticed the first ones had almost dissolved— R/S: Sperm's very acidic— SPK: Yes, that was a tremendous waste of energy! It was kind of corny. We weren't going to say what it was. I just wanted to see how many people would put it in their mouths. ''
