Lack of Knowledge was a post-punk outfit that emerged from North London's vibrant late-70s underground scene. Forming in 1978, the group carved out a distinctive niche within the post-punk movement, blending angular guitar work with driving rhythms characteristic of the era's most innovative acts.
Active throughout the 1980s until their 1986 split, Lack of Knowledge contributed to the post-punk legacy during a pivotal period for experimental rock and electronic-influenced music. Their sound reflected the genre's evolution as post-punk acts increasingly incorporated synthesizers and electronic production techniques into their raw, energetic compositions.
