About Me

Crashed to Earth circa 1962? Hibernated. Emerged in '98. Took human host bodies. For some unknown reason, started playing abrasive, instrumental surf-punk.
Typical show= 18 songs in 25 minutes.
Little is known about what caused these humans to be chosen for "duty" by alien beings. Hosts enter a fugue state with compulsive tendencies which could be refered to as "Parasite-Induced-Somnambulistic-Trance" (or P.I.S.T.) and can be likened to sleepwalking. They have a strict doctrine of not communicating verbally with humans under any circumstances, and should be considered very dangerous!!Why creatures from outer space would neglect all of the usual stereotypes of alien invasion behavior- i.e.- slaughtering the masses, enslaving humanity, breeding giant lobsters- only to play in a "punk rock" band is not understood...

The new Amino Acids album "Humanity Will Fall Like Pins" could be called "music to ride an experimental test rocket bareback directly into the Sun through a dense meteor shower while beating back attacking robodemons with bare fists by." One might alternatively term it SciFi Surf Punk Masked-Man SuperVillain Metal. Previous albums might have fit the "Superhero Metal" genre but this is definitely more Brainiac and The Joker than Batman or Superman. (But it's still KINDA Superman and a whole lot of Batman.) "The Ennio Morricone of Surf Music!"
