Fad Gadget (1956 – 2002) was a British musician and vocalist known for such compositions as "Back to Nature" (1979), "Coitus Interruptus" (1980) and "State of the Nation" (1980).
As Fad Gadget, his music was characterized by the use of synthesizers in conjunction with sounds of found objects, including drills and electric razors. His bleak, sarcastic and darkly humorous lyrics were filled with biting social commentary toward subjects such as machinery, industrialization, consumerism, human sexuality, mass media, religion, domestic violence and dehumanization, often sung in a deadpan voice.
