You Shriek

About Me


.bio.
You Shriek are Raziel Panic, John O'Leary, and Skot Kremen. Their modern synthpop releases combine elements of gothic, industrial, and intelligent dance music, invoking such influences as Joy Division, Depeche Mode, and Einsturzende Neubauten.
Founded in the early 1990's, the band quickly gained a devoted Boston following, frequenting such venues as ManRay and the Rat. A cover of Bauhaus' "Bela Lugosi's Dead" featured on the now-legendary Oxygen Denial vinyl compilation brought them an international underground club hit in 1992. After a long hiatus from live work in the late 90's to write, record, and produce a full length disc (among other projects), You Shriek have re-emerged on the New England live scene as an a-list underground act. You Shriek's current release, "Unreal Cities", takes the listener through a broad range of emotion and musical versatility. By combining poetic melodies with exquisitely orchestrated organic and electronic instruments, You Shriek define a new movement in progressive music.
Recently, You Shriek has performed with the likes of Wolfsheim, KMFDM, the Cruxshadows, Bella Morte, Assemblage 23 and Funker Vogt. Onstage, frontman Raziel Panic's presence is powerful and mesmerizing, while John and Skot perform sleight of hand tricks around racks of keyboards, drum triggers and custom electronics, all in the blue glow from the screens of their Mac laptops. You Shriek consistently wins over audiences by bringing personality and presence to high-tech melodies, with dancable rhythms and passionate vocals wrapped in lushly layered sequences.
all releases available at the iTunes™ Store.
