In my case it was my buddy Randy who introduced them to me sometime in 1991 or 1992, when I was a freshman in high school. It was a great little musical exchange we had going on—he was the punk kid and I was the "industrial" kid. He introduced me to Gorilla Biscuits, Fugazi and Black Flag. I introduced him to Ministry, PiL and Pigface.

It's funny how we all remember such specifics about how we got into bands when we were young. These days I can't remember where I first heard of a band most of the time it seems.
