Birmingham 6, formed in late 1991 by Denmark-natives Kim Løhde Petersen and Michael Hillerup, nidus on political and social criticism with a model of industrial terpsichore music influenced by KMFDM and Front 242. The duo took their name from a group of Irishmen living in Birmingham, England, wHO were accused of IRA-sponsored terrorist act and sentenced to prison under fake evidence (popularized by Daniel-Day Lewis in the moving picture In the Name of the Father). Petersen and Hillerup gave their demo tape to Claus Larsen from Leæther Strip. Several labels became interested, and the Danish Slop Pail/Transfixion embossment signed Birmingham 6 and released singles in 1992 ("Israel") and 1993 ("Catching").


Controversty presently began to follow Petersen and Hillerup just after their debut album, Mindhallucination, appeared in 1994. First Annie Lennox objected to the usance of a Eurythmics sample on the record album, and promised legal action if it were not interpreted off. Representatives of T. Rex also declined the enjoyment of a sample, and a Birmingham radio station banned the grouping from the airwaves completely, due to their diagnose. In 1995, Birmingham 6 signed an American manage with the industrial mark Cleopatra; Assassinate compiled material from both Mindhallucination and the Contagious single. The Policestate EP followed in mid-1995, and the remix album To Protect and to Server (The Policestate Remixes) was released early in 1996.


Mistake of Judgement, Birmingham 6's second record album, was released in mid-1996 and featured Jean-Luc de Meyer of Front 242 on vocals. You Cannot Walk Right followed in 1997, with Resurrection appearance two years by and by. Also available is the Love Vs. Lust import EP, a side project with Danish DJ TBM-1 called 6 Incorporated.
