Audio Assault was a political industrial techno-hip hop band in Dallas, Texas from 1990-92. They were one of the first acts to combine hip hop, industrial rhythms and rock guitars. Their first single “Element of Danger”, produced and mixed by MC 900 Ft. Jesus (Mark Griffin), was a regional hit, charting on KDGE radio.
Audio Assault grew out of collaborations and touring between two other acts: Lesson Seven and International Thief Thief. Audio Assault opened for Ministry, Consolidated, Revolting Cocks and Meat Beat Manifesto.
In addition to their split EP CD with Lesson Seven and ITT in 1991, they also appeared on two compilations: KDGE’s Tales From the Edge Vol 4. (1992), and Crystal Clear Sound: 1991-1992 (1992).
