The Distributors were a post-punk band from Wakefield, West Yorkshire, that emerged during the late 1970s and early 1980s UK post-punk movement. The group carved out a distinctive sound within the genre, contributing to the experimental and angular guitar-driven aesthetic that defined the era.
While primarily rooted in post-punk rather than electronic dance music, The Distributors' work reflects the innovative spirit of their period, with influences that bridged post-punk's raw energy and the emerging electronic experimentation of the time. Their catalog remains part of the broader alternative music landscape that influenced subsequent generations of electronic and experimental artists.
