Late 1980s/1990s industrial and harsh noise label, one of the many endevours by Trevor Ward (3). Closely connected to the similarily named Strength Through Awareness and Strength Recordings labels.
After a long hiatus Strength Through Awareness Branche (or short S.T.A.B.) was re-activated for CDr releases mainly in 2008 and replaced the activities of the earlier label Open Wound.
