The Story

Formed1988OriginUnited StatesGenreindustrial metalLabelAlternative TentaclesMembersJello Biafra

Lard is an American industrial metal band active since 1988, primarily a side project for Jello Biafra of Dead Kennedys fame. Alongside Biafra, members from Ministry, including Paul Barker and Jeff Ward, contributed to their raw sound. Their music blends heavy guitar riffs with biting lyrics, creating a distinct style that reflects gritty social commentary. One standout track, "Forkboy," showcases this approach, marrying aggressive instrumentals with Biafra's sardonic vocal delivery. Lard's work remains a fierce exploration of industrial rock, both challenging and compelling, echoing the chaotic spirit of its time while still resonating with listeners today.
