Nurse With Wound
Nurse With Wound or NWW is a London, UK based music band, formed in 1978 by Steven Stapleton, John Fothergill and Heeman Pathak. Their early recordings, all made quickly, were heavily influenced by free jazz and krautrock and were generally considered industrial music, despite the objections of the group. By 1981, only Stapleton was left from the original trio and he now regards 1982's "Homotopy to Marie", as being the first proper Nurse With Wound release. There are now over 30 full length NWW titles.
