Influenced by the Cure, Dead Kennedys and the Buzzcocks, he formed his first band, OPD (Officially Pronounced Dead), in 1982 with Neville. The band usually rehearsed at Green's father's bedroom. After meeting Justin Broadrick in 1984 at a council estate in East Birmingham, they started their friendship over their admiration for the Stranglers. Soon, Broadrick started playing drums in their band, which was renamed as Fall of Because after Broadrick introduced them to Killing Joke and their song of the same name. Green was also introduced to various artists such as Discharge, Swans and Sonic Youth at this time. Following the end of Fall of Because, Green formed Godflesh with Broadrick, who left Fall of Because in prior to join Head of David.
