SPK, an Australian industrial music and noise music group, was formed in Sydney in 1978. The group initially ventured into raw noise and controversial themes, leading a charge in the pioneering era of industrial music alongside peers such as Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire. Named after the German Socialist Patients' Collective (Sozialistisches Patientenkollektiv, SPK), the group's early performances were intense and often involved confronting imagery.

Throughout their career, SPK's musical style evolved significantly. By the mid-1980s, they had transitioned from abrasive industrial sounds to a more synthesized and electronic approach. Notable albums such as "Zamia Lehmanni (Songs of Byzantine Flowers)" and "Machine Age Voodoo" showcase this transformation. The group ceased activity in the late 1980s, but their legacy is cemented in the industrial genre, influencing countless artists and subgenres. More recently, SPK has seen a resurgence in interest with a series of remixes of their track "Ý Ta Phận Nàng," highlighting the lasting impact of their music in the modern electronic landscape.
