Ike Yard was founded in 1979 in New York. Members are Stuart Argabright, Kenny Compton (bass/vocals), Fred Szymanski (synthesizers/ programming) and Michael Diekmann (guitar). Influenced by their punk upbringing, avant-garde schooling, and no wave surroundings in early 1980s nyc,- but not beholden to any genre - Ike Yard managed to create a new sound. By tapping into equal parts the krautrock experimentation of Can, the neue deutsche welle of DAF and the UK post-punk dub of Public Image Ltd.
