Assassination Collective

About Me

4 lead singers. 2 drummers, 4 guitarists, 1 casio player and a bassman. Not all at the same time mind you (we swap around a bit), but the 6 members of The Assassination Collective are here for a specific reason, and it isn't to fulfill the expected role of what the music industry passes as a rock band these days.Isn't there more interesting things in life? Who do you think you're accountable to? What will you take responsibility for?We are sick of the limitations imposed by elements of the underground rock scene that require censorship of anything too "political", which compromises one's apparent "coolness". We write songs about revolution in an age of disorder and a culture industry which keeps musicians and audiences blind to the exploits of capital. We also like to get fucked up and have A LOT OF FUN.
