Founder Martin Bowes has steered the band through a 25 year career, fueled by a succession of critically acclaimed albums...and selling over 60,000 to date.
The band has regularly toured Europe and North America and Mexico, appeared at major festivals and had their music included on a number of film soundtracks.... (most recently two of their songs are included on the US cult film "Mint in box" alongside the Pogues…)

Attrition's music has featured on countless releases - from 1984's "Bullshit detector" on Crass records to the hugely successful "Animal liberation" album alongside Siouxsie & the Banshees, The Smiths, Nina Hagen & Lene Lovich etc…
Recently their song "Acid Tongue" featured on KTEL's Industrial story CD - a who's who of industrial music with Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle, Ministry, Nitzer Ebb, Neubauten et al…
