About Me


The Hyposmics are an independant band based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The Hyposmics perform passionate and exciting music that pours out of deranged front man Jim Brebner's twisted channeling of the benign and neferious spirits trapped on or under the surface of our little blue and green globe.The Hyposmics typically manifest as a trio, and have lately been spotted spewing a particularily evil and funky hard rock, but you never know what wierdness you are getting into with these degenerates.
