Grinderman is an alternative rock band formed by Nick Cave, Warren Ellis, Martyn P. Casey, and Jim Sclavunos in London, United Kingdom in 2006. Originally known as Mini Seeds, the band was created as a way for its members to escape the weight of The Bad Seeds. Their name was inspired by a Memphis Slim song that Cave started singing during one of their early rehearsal sessions.
Their self-titled debut album, Grinderman, was released in 2007 and received rave reviews. Two years later, they released their sophomore studio album, Grinderman 2. Known for their electrifying performances and unique sound blending various instruments like electric bouzouki, mandocastor, violin, viola, acoustic guitar, organ, piano and more.
If you enjoy the music of artists such as Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds or PJ Harvey or bands like The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion or Morphine then you will definitely want to check out Grinderman!

Please note, some Mute issues also carry an EMI logo. This is not a label and EMI should not be added as a label, it instead indicates that Mute was part of the EMI Group.

Founded in 1978 by [a=Daniel Miller], Mute (also known as [l36339]) releases various forms of music, with an emphasis on electronic and experimental pop. In May 2002 the label was acquired by the [l=EMI Group]. In 2010 Miller did an agreement with EMI to handle Mute as an independent label again, licensing the trademark from EMI via his company [l=Mute Artists Ltd.], but EMI kept the rights over Mute's back catalogue. After the EMI Group was dissolved, in 2012 [l206061] acquired [l636]'s back catalogue.

Branch offices exist in Germany ([l168349]) and in North America ([l36296]). 

Mute has spawned many regional and special-interest sublabels, some of which are still active. One offshoot, [l=Parallel Series], even became independent of [l636] Mute also operates Mute Bank Mail Order, which sells the label's merchandise directly to consumers. Mute Bank published two issues of [i]Mute Statement[/i], a softcover book that details the entire discography of the label and includes band profiles and photos of release artwork.

Another label strongly associated with Mute is [l=Toast Hawaii], run by [a=Depeche Mode]'s [a=Andrew Fletcher].
