About Me

The American Culture eXperiments calls Waco, TX home. Our music is based in lat 70's, early 80's punk; informed by british anarcho-punk, surf guitar and traditional reggae. Our song content leans toward the socio-political, dealing with themes of injustice, freedom, human alienation, abuse of power, deception and healing.

We have taken a purposefully independent approach over the years. Our debut full length was released in 2002 on Accidental Sirens, a label committed to art and integrity. Our second full length was released independently in May 2004.

We are active participants in the Waco Co-op, a collective of artists of different genres, all striving to create meaningful and creative music within the context of our relationship to each other.
