Disco Inferno were an English experimental rock band active in the late 1980s and the 1990s. Initially a trio of guitar, bass, and drums performing in an identifiable post-punk style, the band soon pioneered a dynamic use of digital sampling in addition to standard rock instruments.[2] While commercially unsuccessful during their existence, the band is considered to be a key post-rock act.[3][4]
