Music to Crash Cars To was the debut release by UK Industrial band DeathBoy. It was released in 2003 by Wasp Factory Recordings (WASPFAC021). It is available as a download from Line Out Recordings. The album was produced and mastered by Scott Lamb in conjunction with Lee Chaos of Wasp Factory Recordings at the beginning of 2003 in London and Cheltenham. Due to copyright issues with samples on Crawlout, the film quotes were revoiced by Scott, Marcus Lanyon of Tarantella Serpentine and Tom and Laura from the US band VX. The CD has a reversible cover. The front cover shows a smashed up car (which was discovered by the band on Ealing Common in London). The car was originally blue, and far less damaged than the final shot on the cover. The front cover shot was taken the day after the band shot from the inlay, in which time the car had been smashed up a lot more. The "reverse" cover shows a mock-up of an accident site, with some flowers tied to a lamp post - it is not a picture of a real accident site.

Industrial music is a genre of experimental music which draws on harsh, transgressive or provocative sounds and themes. AllMusic defines industrial music as the "most abrasive and aggressive fusion of rock and electronic music" that was "initially a blend of avant-garde electronics experiments and punk provocation". The term was coined in the mid-1970s with the founding of Industrial Records by members of Throbbing Gristle and Monte Cazazza. While the genre name originated with Throbbing Gristle's emergence in the United Kingdom, concentrations of artists and labels vital to the genre also emerged in Chicago.

DeathBoy is the pseudonym of Midlands-born musician Scott Lamb, and also the name of his band.

London Capital of the United Kingdom

London is the capital and largest city of both England and the United Kingdom. Standing on the River Thames in the south-east of England, at the head of its 50-mile (80 km) estuary leading to the North Sea, London has been a major settlement for two millennia. Londinium was founded by the Romans. The City of London, London's ancient core − an area of just 1.12 square miles (2.9 km2) and colloquially known as the Square Mile − retains boundaries that follow closely its medieval limits. The City of Westminster is also an Inner London borough holding city status. Greater London is governed by the Mayor of London and the London Assembly.
