Through many changes to both line-up and sound, Stephen Stapleton has remained the sole constant of Nurse With Wound. The underground project began in 1978, under the influence of Krautrock groups like Faust and early industrial acts like Throbbing Gristle, using those building blocks to create unsettling surrealist collages that wend in elements of experimental blues, ambient soundscapes and ground rumbling rhythms. Stapleton's influence has been vast as well, with fans like indie pop group Stereolab and drone metal ensemble SunnO))) inviting the UK producer to collaborate.
