Band Members: petescream tombomb camgina.
...3 very different young men using guitars, drums, cheap keyboards, effects, crude samplers, electronics and vocals to make the music they enjoy playing.
COMING SOON (possibly): 4 and 12 string bass, banjo, glockenspiel, saxophone and a dodgy hammond organ clone.
Also coming possibly coming soon is our brother Troy who will mezmerise us all with his vivid nightmare visions.
Influences: SILENT times spent in contemplation...
A good FILM (preferably with a good score)...
And the human SCREAM , which although usually is a sign of pain and fear; is also sometimes used to express a sense of joy and exaltation. In this case it is also an expression of frustration at popular music's demise into the commercial depths of mediocrity.
Sounds Like: Too amelodic and arhythmic to be metal
Too complex to be punk
Too intelligent and original to be hardcore
Too fast and noisy to be jazz
A bit like Converge, Fantomas and Mastodon sharing a bowel of popcorn while watching Aronofsky's work at a Middle Eastern film festival.
