MySpace Backgrounds
MySpace Codes COMPLIANT tears apart the music genres of rock, industrial, and metal only to reconstruct them into a new sound they call MECH-rock. COMPLIANT's influences, which include Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana, Skinny Puppy, Smashing Pumpkins, Ministry, Led Zeppelin and more, are combined like DNA to form a whole new creature of pounding drums, distorted guitar riffs, screeming synths, and lyrics ripped straight from the soul! You can catch COMPLIANT all over Chicago.

Buy the new E.P. "One Of You" by Compliant. It includes 2 bonus tracks!!
