Total Control's debut LP, Henge Beat, was commended as one of the few records released in 2011 that evaded the ease of classification and competent tribute act status of most modern bands, and is the definitive statement from a band that have evolved continually from aggressive angular post-punk to minimal techno. It is live where the band are most consistent, exploiting their punk and hardcore backgrounds to present their songs in their most frantic, high energy incarnations.
