Broken Head

The BROKEN HEAD Experience: It's not a band. It's an unholy experiment.Broken Head formed in 2001 when John and Charlie decided to jam with vocalist Tim Jones and guitarist Andrew Coleman. In 2002, BH released a self engineered and produced CD, 420. In mid 2003, Andrew moved away and soon Chris Schmidt from Bagg and Black Tractor joined. In May, 2004 Chris and Broken Head parted ways.After about a year of inactivity Bart Allen joined Broken Head. In the fall of 2006, this incarnation of Broken Head played its first show at the Comet. In spring of 2007 BH made a recording of new material -- a three-song demo produced by former guitarist, Chris Schmidt, of Shepherd's Pie Recording. In 2008 Broken Head performed at the Millennium Music Conference in Harrisburg, PA, Dirtfest in Birch Run, MI, and the Baltimore Music Conference.After 7 years together, in late 2008, Broken Head parted ways with original front man Tim Jones. Remaining HEAD members Charles Moorman, Barton Allen & John Dryden chose to move forward with new vocalist, Lazy D of the infamous Cincinnati hip hop project, Lazy Ass Destroyer. Lazy D -- aka Ryan Schwass -- is a surprising divergence from the vocal styling of Jones.Both Allen's insanely aggressive guitar soundscapes and Lazy D's rhythmic lyrics have helped to evolve the experience that is Broken Head.Currently Broken Head is finishing the release of several tracks of new material after 3 years. The new material is All HEAD. The trade mark destructive low end sonic assault remains central to the compositions, but the new lyrical style of Lazy D has brought forth much more musical complexities from what was already one of the most original and unique bands to develop in the area in some time.Broken Head does warn those new to the experience to avoid listening at high volumes on PC or Laptop Speakers or head phones as it could cause permanent equipment damage or even severe brain trauma. However, Broken Head has not been proven to cause soft tissue damage at high room volumes . . . But listeners should be aware that an occasional altered state of reality has been know to occur . . . The CDC has not named this condition at this time, but the symptoms are easily identified by the irresistible urge to break EVERYTHING in the vicinity.The music of Broken Head may be the preferred soundtrack of the criminally insane, but it is truly the music of the common citizen struggling to survive the ever increasing onslaught of incompetence and apathy which unfortunately seems to drive the world today.
