Starkweather (band)
Starkweather is an American extreme metal band from Philadelphia, formed in 1989.
They have a complex experimental metal sound often including use of dissonance, intricate tempo changes and avant- garde sensibilities.
Starkweather helped pioneer the hardcore punk/ heavy metal crossover sound that would later be known as" metalcore", as well as being a major influence on the mathcore subgenre.
They have influenced many of today's top selling hardcore/ metal bands such as Converge, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Mastodon and Coalesce among many others.
The name Starkweather is taken from Charles Starkweather, a late- 1950s spree killer.

Howlett settled in London and in 1973 joined renowned British progressive rock group Gong, which had been founded by an Australian expatriate, Daevid Allen.

Strontium 90 (band)
Strontium 90 was the name of a short-lived 1977 British band with members Mike Howlett (lead bass, vocals), Sting (bass, vocals), Stewart Copeland (drums), and Andy Summers (guitar).

The band was formed in mid-1977 by Howlett after he quit Gong and recruited Sting and Summers to participate in a new project.

An album with some of these studio and live tracks was released in 1997 under the name  on Ark 21 Records.
