Formed in late-1970s London by Charles Bullen, Charles Hayward, and Gareth Williams, This Heat were pioneers of experimental post-punk and avant-garde sound. Blending tape loops, angular guitar work, and unconventional song structures, they pushed the boundaries between rock, electronic, and noise. Their influential albums, *This Heat* (1979) and *Deceit* (1981), became touchstones for generations of alternative and experimental musicians. Though short-lived, the band’s fearless innovation and politically charged intensity continue to resonate as a benchmark of creative independence and sonic exploration.
