  • Industry was a pop music band formed in New York which recorded only three albums; Stranger to Stranger (1984) being the most popular. Lets get the facts about the band industry in order now and for the record... Industry, originally named, "Industrial Complex", otherwise known as, "Industry", was not soley invented by Mercury Caronia, tapes do exist from 1978 and before. As Mercury and Andrew began working with tape loops, synths, innovative guitaring into various methods of recording, they gave birth to the original sound known as the artistry of, "Industry". This was the start of a new sound in music not yet heard. Thanks to Tim Kelly (Metro Records) the 1st Industry album was released. It has since become a collectors item. Andrew Geyer 1981 gone.... Mercury joined forces with guitarist/songman Brian Unger and along with the help of Rudy Perrone (guitarist/Cathedral) and Jon Carin (keyboard/vocalist). Mercury and Brian released TURNING TO LIGHT... the 2nd album by INDUSTRY. This was the record that got CAPITAL RECORDS interested in signing the band. The rest is history! Industry was founded in the late 1970s by Andrew P Geyer. (musician, guitarist, composer and studio engineer) and released with Mercury Caronia in 1978 with Sean Kelly on some vocals, with rather experimental electronic music, odd time signatures, tape loops analog recording on skydisc records. Later with the addition of Brian Unger and new lead singer Jon Carin and Rudy Perrone (who was previously in a progressive rock band called Cathedral) with Mercury, they created a more pop-oriented sound and released a Mini-LP and an album. Their best known single, the anti-militarist "State of the Nation", broke through the European charts between 1983 and 1984, earning them a place as support for acts like Billy Idol, Talk Talk and INXS. "State of the Nation" was followed less successfully by a second single from the same album, "Still of the Night". After the group split, Carin started a successful session-man career, becoming a permanent member of the Pink Floyd live band and co-writing Pink Floyd's hit single "Learning to Fly". Unger and Perrone went on to form their own bands.
