Unrest, formed in Washington, D.C., in the mid-1980s by Mark Robinson and Phil Krauth, emerged as a seminal force in indie rock. Their sound evolved from experimental noise to a distinctive blend of post-punk, pop, and avant-garde elements. With the addition of bassist Bridget Cross in 1990, the trio released acclaimed albums like "Imperial f.f.r.r." (1992) and "Perfect Teeth" (1993), the latter on the esteemed 4AD label. Known for their eclectic style and DIY ethos, Unrest's influence resonates in the indie music landscape. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unrest_%28band%29?utm_source=openai))
