Nurse With Wound (NWW) is an avant-garde music project helmed by British musician Steven Stapleton, a seminal figure in the experimental and industrial music scenes. With a career spanning over four decades, Nurse With Wound has become known for its surrealistic soundscapes, a collage of unconventional instrumentation, and an eclectic blending of genres that challenge the confines of traditional music. The project was originally a trio formed in 1978, with Stapleton joined by John Fothergill and Heman Pathak, but it became Stapleton's solo endeavor in the early 1980s.

Throughout its expansive discography, Nurse With Wound has exhibited a restless spirit of experimentation, drawing on influences ranging from Dadaism to dark ambient noise. The music defies easy categorization, often incorporating tape edits, loops, and sound effects to create an immersive and disorienting auditory experience. Seminal releases include "Chance Meeting on a Dissecting Table of a Sewing Machine and an Umbrella" and "Homotopy to Marie," which have secured NWW's cult status within the experimental music canon. More recent works like "Simple Headphone Mind / Trippin' With The Birds" and "Mutation...The Lunatics Are Running The Asylum" continue to push sonic boundaries, proving that Nurse With Wound remains at the vanguard of avant-garde music, confounding and captivating new generations of listeners.
