about

Intrinsic Action formed in Chicago in 1984 and have since been a highly influential factor in shaping the now thriving DIY noise scene in Chicago and beyond. With the use of synths and primitive electronics Intrinsic Action created raw, brutal industrial noise better known as “power-electronics” to categorize. These aggressive aural assaults were often a vehicle for Mark Solotroff’s paranoid, morbid distopian lyrics. The ghosts of Throbbing Gristle, early Suicide, Whitehouse (whom they joined for their first US tour), SPK, Swans and Napalm Death looms heavy throughout their sound.
