Steel Pole Bath Tub was a noise rock band formed in 1986 in Montana, later based in San Francisco, known for their abrasive sound, heavy use of samples, and experimental tape loops. Blending punk, grunge, and sonic collage, they released cult albums like Butterfly Love, Tulip, and Scars from Falling Down, the latter on Slash Records. Their chaotic live shows and deconstructive covers earned them a devoted underground following, and they toured with acts like Faith No More. Though polarizing, their work remains a bold statement in the evolution of experimental rock.
