Test Dept
Formed in London in the early 1980s, Test Dept are regarded as one of the pioneering forces of 'industrial music', recognised for their groundbreaking sound and powerful performances that pushed the boundaries of music, art and protest while exploring political and social issues.
Centred around the founding duo of Paul Jamrozy and Gray Cunnington since resurfacing in the mid-2010s, the group recently signed to the Artoffact label and have started to issue a series of carefully curated box sets along with a brand new album targeted for 2026.

Baba Yaga's Hut present:
Test Dept + Sophie Sirota at Oslo, October 8th
From the outset, Test Dept were lauded for their innovative use of found objects, scrap metal and industrial detritus as instruments. The group's unique blend of aggressive percussion, noise, distorted samples and experimental soundscapes also reflected their commitment to challenging the status quo, most famously in 1984 when they ventured into the industrial communities of Britain to perform live with the South Wales Striking Miner’s Choir, raising money and awareness for that cause.
Envisioning themselves as part of a broader cultural movement exploring […]
