Company Of State

Originally released in 1983, featuring Rudolf Hecke (Pop In Wonderland). In the Eighties there was an incredibly interesting underground scene emerging in the Belgian Leuvenarea. Bands like The Neon Judgement, Sovjet War and countless others all came from that area and era. One of the most underestimated bands in that scene was Company Of State, a duo with aunique sound that played dark moody guitar-electro with a minimal DIY touch.

Influenced by a wide array of artists (such as Joy Division, Velvet Underground and Edith Piaf) the duo Rudolf Hecke and Paul Taes formed the band Company Of State and recorded their self-titled debut (afour track 7”EP) on their self-founded label in 1983.
