Emerging during the early development of industrial music in the United States, BDC became known for combining conventional instrumentation with metal, found objects, tape, electronics, noise and improvisation. The band developed within Milwaukee's experimental and punk music scene alongside contemporaries such as Die Kreuzen, the Oil Tasters, and Couch Flambeau. BDC received national media attention in 1985, including coverage in The Wall Street Journal, as industrial music began attracting attention beyond the underground music press.
BDC's early years produced a series of cassette and vinyl releases and included touring throughout the United States. Following Lunde's departure around 1988, Brown continued working in experimental music before re-forming BDC in 2007. The re-formed band has maintained an extensive recording output with a changing lineup, combining elements of its earlier industrial sound with rock, electronic experimentation, sound collage, spoken word and improvised noise.
