Christopher Rankin was born in Cleveland (Ohio). After moving to Boulder (Colorado) in 1978, he began studying saxophone and clarinet. He formed his first «Industrial Music» group { Problemist } in San Francisco (California) in 1981. Towards the end of his involvement with Problemist, he switched from saxophone and synthesizer to bass guitar. In 1984 he formed { Morally Bankrupt }, a «Progressive Punk» quartet. His musical path continued when he met guitarist/singer Tommy Strange also from Ohio. Together with Tommy and a certain Hilary, he formed the «Punk-Folk» trio { Forethought } in 1986. Two years later he and Hilary moved on to form SABOT.
Hilary Binder was born in Washington (D.C.). She began her musical career at 6, studying classical violin and piano . Frustrated with the confines of «Classical Music», she began to teach herself drumming at 15 and formed her first «Punk» group { Death Before School } in 1981. After moving to San Francisco, she eventually hooked up with Christopher and Tommy and continued drumming. With the formation of SABOT came an opportunity to expand on the traditional drumming styles of her past groups.
