Biography
Iron Oxide is a two-piece music outfit from Cleveland, Ohio. Their purpose as a band is to reflect their decaying, post-industrial, Rust Belt surroundings with sound. As such, they are not easily defined by narrow genre classifications. Iron Oxide has been described as sounding like the end of the world, psychedelic music for an extremely bad trip, or a collapsing steel mill. Iron Oxide’s sound is founded in styles as diverse as ‘60’s psych and garage like the Music Machine; music concrete pioneers like Pierre Schaeffer; the gritty noise and no-wave of bands like Missing Foundation, Dead C, DNA, and Swans; and early post-punk like Public Image, Ltd., The Fall, and fellow Ohioans Pere Ubu.
