A Bad Trip...

About Me


THE BAND
Evil Consumer, once known as The Renegades, started off as 2 kids from the S.F.V who had been long time friends. The devious duo have been playing music for almost 6 years, together for 5. Remy plays the drums, and for a while, Sean did everything else (guitar, bass, vocals, and keyboard on occasion). Joining them later on in the game was a slim, articulate, creative guitarist named Andrew Raines. Even later in the game came the Sasha, spreading her hardcore love for music, through a bass that may just be as big as she is. (Joking! sorry Sasha.) After starting up his solo project, Anchored Cross, Andrew decided to leave the lineup and focus his attention on that. A little while later, Sasha left the band to embark on a journey of self-discovery and introspection. Not long after that, we found our next bassist: Brian Rodriguez! So, as time passes, we will never forget our past musicians, but we only look forward to such a simple and kickass lineup!
THE STYLE
How can I put this? Let's see... We have a bit of a Dead Kennedys punk type sound [no, that won't work] If you listen to early pink floyd [not quite] A great influence on my song writing has been... AHH! FUCK IT! Our style of music, just like our taste in music, varies depending on our various mood swings, as well as our inability to sit still. You may love some of our songs, and hate the others. We'll try to keep it as diverse as possible if you're willing to give up a few minutes of your precious life to listen to us. AAARRGGH! No, wait! Don't run away!
THE MUSIC
It all started when Sean told Remy he had an idea for an album and asked Remy to help him out. The album was called the 'Interstellar Vendetta'. Now that we are done speaking in third person, after the completion of 'Interstellar Vendetta' we realized that we had created an absolute masterpiece we could do better. There are songs on the album we're proud of, and you can hear some of them on our profile from time to time. But there were also some songs that we did not feel so much love for. Like little retard babies, those songs were (yes, we do acknowledge the fact that most parents love their babies no matter where their mental health stands. We were just joking). We have gone back and re-done some of them, including our title piece "Interstellar Vendetta". It sounds about a million times better than the original. And Twinz is highly recomended.
WHAT'S TO COME?
I (being Sean Real) am truly greatful to be working with such unique and creative people. Unfortunately, because of our, at the moment, limited resources we are not able to completely fulfill our creative needs. Ideas float around, and are put on the shelf, until eventually you throw them away because of all the dust they collect. Our best work is yet to come. SO KEEP YOUR PANTIES ON!!
ONE MORE THING
We like playing parties and group gatherings (mainly so we can forcibly inflict our music upon the masses) so if you or someone you know wants us to play something like a social gathering, we'd be more than pleased to satisfy your request. Just say the words and like a good neighbor we'll be there...like State Farm. I think it was State Farm anyway.....
Help promote Evil Consumer, folks. Just copy and paste the code that's in the box. We'll love you forever, but we probably would regardless...

What Happened To The Punk Scene?

Los Angeles, California, 1980: the days of chaos; the days of anger and contempt for society. A total lack of structure and guidelines for lifestyle, and for 10 bucks one could get in to almost any Ho...

FYI

We are looking for a bassist, so that we can play our songs live. On the album, it has just been me playing bass, so if anyone is interested send us a line.[preferably someone who can sing as well]
