This Heat was an English experimental rock band formed in London in 1976 by Charles Bullen, Charles Hayward, and Gareth Williams. They are considered to be one of the earliest and most influential post-punk bands. This Heat was known for their use of tape manipulation, avant-garde, and industrial music influences.

Their debut album, This Heat, was released in 1979 and was a groundbreaking fusion of post-punk, avant-garde, and experimental rock. It featured the single "Horizontal Hold", which became a cult classic. Their second album, Deceit, was released in 1981 and was a more polished and accessible album than their debut. It was praised for its innovative use of tape manipulation and incorporation of jazz and dub influences. Deceit's standout tracks include "Paper Hats", "Makeshift Swahili", and "Sleep".

The band's final album, Made Available, was released in 1982 and is a compilation of unreleased material recorded in 1981. It features the single "Health and Efficiency" which has become one of their most well-known songs.

An interesting fact about This Heat is that they have influenced many musicians such as Radiohead, LCD Soundsystem, and Animal Collective.
