Artery

This article describes Artery (UK), Artery (BG), and Artery (US). An article for Artery (GER) hasn't been written yet.
1.Artery were one of the most important and influential bands in the UK's post-punk scene, though they didn't sell many records and are often overlooked in pop histories. They were based in Sheffield UK, and between 1978 and 1985 recorded three studio albums, one live album, and a few singles. Their gigs were riotous. They defined the post-industrial outlook that Human League and Cabaret Voltaire adopted. They were the reason Jarvis Cocker decided to become a pop star.

BEASTMILK MANIFESTO
i would not drink milk and nor would i have my children's blood paying for both sides of the war with my milk (let's just get some more foreign oil). and how do you feel about the menstrual cycle. the blood: you can not continue to drink my breastmilk: the average menstrual cycle is twenty-eight days. drink it! how much money causes ovulation; a gushing geyser of oil? (mmm, warm!) contaminated blood products imported from the U.S. in the 1970's and the 1980's: quite content with just sitting here watching television pumping away: and menstruation does not occur.
