About Me



i are the hum behind the walls.

i are the machines writhing in the dirt.

i are the fanblades.

.........Born as human invectives and baptised in poetry, i, fanblades has now genetically drifted into a melodic post-hardcore sludgey blues band with a face and a tiding. They invent, experiment, and press on while your parents roll in the graves they're still digging, and your diety-flavor-of-choice deficates its freshly-pressed trousers. Poetry, music, thought... never the same again.
