Born out of the early-90s Chicago metal-industrial music scene carved out by Ministry and Wax Trax! Records, Acumen (later Acumen Nation after a band name dispute) released their first album on Fifth Colvmn Records in 1995. Branching out into electronic music focusing heavily on drum 'n' bass, front man Jason Novak and guitarist Jamie Duffy created the group DJ? Acucrack in 1997. Forming their own label, Cracknation Records allowed the group to release their other projects including Iron Lung Corp. (comprised of Acumen Nation and The Clay People members), shoe gaze rocking Fawn, and progressive metal group Czar. This companion to Rally And Sustain: The Cracknation Documentary DVD chronicles the postings and tour journals from front man Jason Novak and co-conspirator Jamie Duffy from their earliest tours with Clay People and Skrew, through their later adventures with KMFDM and Front Line Assembly.
