We like music. We play music.
John played in Crust and Talmadge D'Amour.
Max played in Ministry.
Jeff played in Tanz Waffen and with Lene Lovich.
We make the kind of music we'd like to hear (but rarely do). Combining guitars, synth, drums, electronics to create atmosphere and tension. Thought provoking lyrics and vocals designed to take you someplace new.
We made music in the 80's and 90's but we aren't retro. We have loads of influences but don't sound like anyone else. We have all played in cool bands but we don't sound like any of those.
We aren't afraid to strip down to just guitars, bass and drums, but we aren't afraid to get into detailed processed mixes heavy on electronic instrumentation either.
Live performance has yet to be fully realized but is coming and won't be (as John puts it so endearingly) "two old guys and a laptop".
