Information Society is a musical collective which has been recording and performing for over twenty years. After emerging from the Minneapolis underground in the mid-1980s, the group stormed onto the national scene with their international cult classic "Running," one of the most influential electro/freestyle tracks of all time.



Led by founder/producer Paul Robb, the group went on to release numerous Top 40 hits, notably the #1 smash "What's on Your Mind (Pure Energy)," as well as "Walking Away," "Think," and "Peace and Love, Inc.". Numerous national and international tours followed; outside the United States, the group is especially popular in Scandinavia, Spain, Japan, and South America.

After departing Tommy Boy/Reprise Records in the mid-90s, the group returned to its electro-industrial roots on several independent releases. Re-releases of both "Running" and "What's on Your Mind" have reached #1 on the Billboard Dance/Club chart in recent years.
