BAJSKORV is a Washington, DC based industrial band formed by Christian Wright and Juan Monarez in 2003. Their goal is to create and perform industrial music that is both technically creative as well as politically aggressive. Their sound is primarily sample and synthesizer based, with heavily processed vocals and few guitars. Though roles occasionally switch in the band, you will most often find Christian as the main musical composer and Juan as the lead vocalist and lyricist.
In the spring of 2006 BAJSKORV independently recorded it’s first full length self titled album, which ranged in style from harsh experimentation to industrial dance. After a few shows in the DC area to promote the debut, BAJSKORV returned to the studio that fall to make their second album, Irsh Tomb Ich. This recording began as a 25 minute live improvisation experiment that later evolved into a full length album with some structured and some unstructured songs. Its release was followed up with an active live schedule that took the band around the Mid-Atlantic during the spring and summer of 2007, playing alongside such regional and national acts as Bella Morte, Worms of the Earth, Xuberx, Dharmata 101, Vyral, Angels on Acid, Ikonoklast, Panzer Division, Failed Utopia, Synthetic Division, Red This Ever, and Synthetic Nightmare.
By August 2007 recording and mixing was completed on a third full length, Scars and Stripes. This release was characterized by a consolidation of earlier experimentation, and in the words of one critic , "mixes strong and occasionally quite nearly club-friendly beats with insanely dynamic and complex layers of analog synthesis with old school junkyard noises and atmospheres..."
In early 2008 Bajskorv hit the road to take Scars and Stripes to 22 cities across the United States, performing along the way with bands such as Worms of the Earth, W.A.S.T.E., Alter De Ruine, Cockfight Club, All Ties Severed, Esper Machine, I:Scintilla, Lockjaw, AM Psych, Go Yo, Trash Orchestra, Herpes Hideaway Vs. Red Squirrels, In The Age of Terminal Static, The Yage, Kluge, Ierased, and many more.
Currently Bajskorv is on hiatus from live shows. Members are currently putting energy towards side projects Savage Ideal , Laughing Fish and Wolves in the Walls .
Stay tuned...

Band Members:
Christian Wright:
Used to play in an orchestra untill he got tired of "being conducted". He also developed a theory early on that a guitar's 6 stings and 22 frets give you a fairly finite variety of options. In college he decided that interning on the hill wasn't for him. Skipping class to play with samplers and blowing his checks on gear, he divided his time between political activism and music. At this time he resides in DC, and is currently working on three music projects: Bajskorv, Societal Demise ( collaboration with Rachael Haywire ) and Savage Ideal (solo).
Juan Monarez:
Was raised with alternative music from an early age and has always sought to perform it. He is a classicly trained painter and created the cover for the second Bajskorv album IRSH TOMB ICH. He helps craft some of the music for Bajskorv but is primarily the lead singer. He writes all his own lyrics and creates all of his own effects. He is also involved in an industrial side project called Dephalt(colaboration with Xavier Swafford of Verigo).
Influences: CHRISTIAN: Dead Kennedys, Guns N Roses, Sex Gang Children, E-Craft, Front 242, Controlled Bleeding, skinny puppy, Pink Floyd, Velvet Acid Christ, KMFDM, the cure, noisex, kraftwerk, severed heads, laibach, PiL, Revolting Cocks, Numb, the Exploited, Dead Can Dance, Devo, Hypnoskull, Wumpscut.
Juan Monarez: Rozz Williams, Diamonda Galas, Gitane Demone, Eva'O, Blixa, Edward Kaspel, Ogre, Nitzer Ebb, Laibach, Test Department, Meshuggah, Dismal Euphony, Limbonic Art, Peter Gabriel, Brian Erickson, Ministry, Dir en Gray, Malice Mizer, Schwarz Stien, Velvet Eden, Dream Theater, Salvador Dali, Micheal Hussar, Max Earnst, Van Eyck, and my hate for racist pigs who need to understand what true suffering is.
Sounds Like: Controlled Bleeding, Nurse With Wound, Numb, Wumpscut, Velvet Acid Christ, Noisex, Leaether Strip, Skinny Puppy, Hocico, Yelorc, Atari Teenage Riot, Diamonda Galas, and sometimes Legendary Pink Dots,
