There have been at least three artists called Loudspeaker.
New York post hardcore, noise rock rockers Loudspeaker combined the bleak experimentalism of bands like the Jesus Lizard, Swans and Unsane with the garagey blues-punk of outfits like Laughing Hyenas, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and Royal Trux. Formed in 1987 as an industrial noise unit, the original (albeit short lived) Loudspeaker lineup featured two ex-members of crusty punk legends Crucifix — guitarist/singer Matt Borruso and drummer/singer Christopher 'Faith' Douglas along with drummer Martin Wilson and drum machine programmer Bonjo I. They soon incorporated two ex-members of Boss Hog in guitarist Kurt Wolf (also of Pussy Galore) and bassist Jens Jürgensen (also of Swans) and took on the direction of which they became most known for. The group debuted in 1990 with a 7” single for Sympathy for the Record Industry “Pray / Pulp”. Jürgensen subsequently departed, and was replaced by Charles Hanson. The “King” single followed on Lungcast in 1991, and their first full-length album, Supernatural, appeared in 1992 on the Patois/Cargo label. At this point, their avant noise leanings had yet to give way to the bluesier style — complete with slide guitar — of later releases. That evolution started with another lineup change, which found Borruso trading in the rest of the band for a new power-trio format, with a rhythm section of bassist Christian Bongers and drummer Martin Kob. This version of Loudspeaker recorded the band’s second album, Rubberneckers vs. Tailgaters, for Sympathy for the Record Industry in 1995. Their third and final album, 1996’s Re-Vertebrate (cut for Another Planet), was their clearest fusion of noise rock and scuzzy blues, featuring Geoff Green on B3 organ. Kurt Wolf went on to play with Emma Peel and Lapis Lazuli.
There is also a texan queer noise project Loudspeaker founded by Geoff Markoff and Chinese metal band called Loudspeaker.
