Video: Kurt Kellison - Jurisdiction

Unfortunately, with there being hardly any info about IDF online, finding a video is impossible. I was able to dig up this track that IDF member and Atavistic label founder Kurt Kellison contributed to the Pure And Painless Pleasures comp from 1988.

Electrical Audio Message Board on IDF

There is next to nothing on IDF on the web. In fact, the only mention I could find of the band was on the message board for the Electrical Audio studio run by Steve Albini. Part of a "Crap / Not Crap" poll, a few folks chimed in on the band, including Casey Rice, who provided some additional history:

The lineup was as stated, but later Elliot and I left, and Josh Thomas (who is general manager of Rupert Neve now) and Mike Clark were in the band for a while too. Yes, we were highly derivative. It was fun even if we don't make rock history as the greatest quasi-industrial band from Columbus, OH in the 80s.

New Additions: Convulsion by IDF

The industrial noise band IDF is a perfect example of finding an interesting diamond in the rough while working on the book project. In the vein of Einstürzende Neubauten or Swans, the band definitely shows its influences while making something compelling. I was lucky to grab copies of both albums from the same seller on Discogs, completing the discography (minus the VHS release) in one quick purchase, which rarely happens.
