Whitehouse are a pioneering English power electronics band formed in 1980, largely credited for the founding of the power electronics subgenre. The group's founding member and sole constant is William Bennett. He began as a guitarist for Essential Logic. He wrote of those early years, "I often fantasised about creating a sound that could bludgeon an audience into submission." Bennett later recorded as Come (featuring contributions from the likes of Daniel Miller and J. G. Thirlwell Foetus) before forming Whitehouse in 1980. The group began performing live in 1982. In 2009, Bennett claimed that his pre-eminent inspiration was Yoko Ono: "Yoko's amazing music was by far the biggest influence on me, and Whitehouse, in the formative years (despite what some would have you believe)." The band had numerous other members in the 1980s including Kevin Tomkins (Sutcliffe Jugend), Steven Stapleton (Nurse with wound), Glenn Michael Wallis, John Murphy (Krang), Stefan Jaworzyn, Jim Goodall, and Andrew McKenzie (Hafler Trio), though many of these participated only at live performances, not on recordings. Whitehouse emerged as earlier U.K. industrial acts such as Throbbing Gristle and SPK were pulling back from noise and extreme sounds and making their music more conventional. In opposition to this trend, Whitehouse wanted to take these earlier groups' sounds and fascination with extreme subject matter even further; As referenced on the sleeve of their first LP, the group wished to "cut pure human states" and produce "the most extreme music ever recorded". In doing so, they drew inspiration from some earlier experimental musicians and artists such as Alvin Lucier, Robert Ashley, and Yoko Ono as well as writers such as Marquis de Sade, whom Bennett studied extensively during his college years. In the same vein as Mauthausen Orchestra, Broken Flag, Maurizio Bianchi, Atrax Morgue and New Blockaders.
