1) There's very little known about the guy. Based in Cincinnati, Ohio, he released 3 lps and several tapes in late 70s/early 80s on his own Record Sluts label in very limited pressings/editions. His style was comparable to artists like Pseudo Code or early Minimal Man (the late Patrick Miller) - dark, minimal and lo-fi electronica. You can find out a bit more on this unofficial website: http://free.pages.at/aspects/johnbender/jb2.html 2) Powerviolence/hardcore from Lima, Ohio. U.S.A. Released one split 7" with Präparation-H in 1996.
