From one, it became four

About Me

Nobody really knows where The Springmine Disaster comes from.
Everyone knows that he speaks funny and that he's got an acute sense of fashion, but very few know much about his past.
Some say he drives an ambulance in the eastern part of the city, some say he used to be very successful as a child actor. All the he left for us to know is a pile of old obsolete photographs of Valparaiso, Anchorage or any other forgotten city in the world...

As an act, The Springmine Disaster was created out of staring at electrical equipment for a decent amount of time.
To this day and for some time still, it will keep on living, out of a taste for useless objects and a delicate sense of symetry. At least that's what the rumour says.
The whole process of living in the modern world takes its toll on the London youth and it seems that it's looking for an escape, a new meaning to waking up in the morning and roasting once living animals. And it seems that for a trio of talented dudes (yes), this escape is fully provided by the Springmine Disaster...
The newly-formed sect hence gathers once a week to hit various objects with sticks and are even plotting to do it in public towards the end of the year, but this is another story altogether...
To finish, all there is to say about it is that maybe if you had stared at electrical equipment for that long, you would have done exactly the same thing.
