The Serfs are a Cincinnati synth-punk trio known for their gritty and hallucinatory genre-bending music. Somewhere between dance-punk, industrial, and coldwave, The Serfs draw influence from 1970s Post Punk and New Wave, when synthesizers and “analog minimalism” began to dominate the musical landscape.
John Bender is a pioneer of analog minimalism, or analog synth, and a Cincinnati native. His experimental music was self-published via cassettes that eventually reached mythic levels of acclaim. The debut LP, I Don’t Remember Now/I Don’t Want to Talk About It was featured a cover of Faust‘s “It’s a Rainy Day Sunshine Girl”, was released on his own Record Sluts label in 1980.
