Nurse with Wound

Идея создать группу пришла Стэплтону спонтанно – сразу после возвращения из Германии. Стэплтон и его друзья Химан Патак и Джон Фотергилл решают поэкспериментировать с музыкой. Фотергилл становится гитаристом, Патак клавишником, сам Стэплтон играет на перкуссии. Благодаря общему знакомому звукорежиссёру Никки Роджерсу, друзья делают пробную запись в профессиональной студии. Они фиксируют на плёнку поток импровизаций и шутки ради решают разбить записанное на три части и выпустить как цельный альбом. Они называют дебютную пластинку «Chance Meeting on a Dissecting Table of a Sewing Machine and an Umbrella» («Случайная встреча зонтика и швейной машинки на столе для вскрытий»). Стэплтон рисует обложку. С тех пор все альбомы оформлены сюрреалистическими рисунками и коллажами Стивена. Запись выходит в 1979 году. Альбом расходится небольшим тиражом в 500 экземпляров. Реакция на альбом со стороны удивляет музыкантов. Появляются рецензии в нескольких музыкальных журналах. После записи дебютного альбома NWW покидает Патак. Он создаёт свой проект Hastings of Malawi. К 1981 году Nurse With Wound становится сольным проектом Стэплтона.

В 1983 году Стэплтон знакомится с Дэвидом Тибетом. В то время Тибет был участником Psychic TV. С тех пор музыканты постоянно сотрудничают друг с другом. Тибет периодически поёт на альбомах Стэплтона, а Стэплтон в свою очередь, создаёт нойзовую подкладку для треков Тибета. Музыканты также дают совместные концерты. В 1990 году Стивен Стэплтон основывает собственный инди-лейбл World Serpent. На нём переиздаётся ряд ранних альбомов Nurse With Wound. В 1992 году выходит альбом «Thunder Perfect Mind». Альбом с аналогичным названием существует у проекта Тибета Current 93.

В 1993 году Стэплтон знакомится с музыкантами группы Stereolab. Совместно с группой NWW записывают два альбома «Cramb Duck» и «Simple Headphone Mind».
