Throbject

"We started playing as an instrumental 3 piece about 2 years ago with the intention of carrying the torch for late 80s prog punk rockers like King Sour, Bread Winner, Stinking Lizaveta, Jesus Lizard, and Buzzard, the result of which wound up being a Cave In (old cave in) meets Refused meets Quicksand and a Dischord punk/joy division kind of wash out. Then, we tried out Dave, and he complimented the sound enough and to the extent that we started laying off the progressive math/trickery and decided to write songs with actual verses, hooks, refrains and the like. Last year, we recorded a live 4 song demo (War God, Water, Firon, Figh on Hire) with Sniper Studios. In the end, we found that recording live (against the wizard's advice) was a bad idea because the drum mics picked up everything, but the record still sounds killer, respectively. In the interest of full disclosure, Vince warned us -- we did not listen, so the sound was not as clean as we would have liked. And, neurotically enough, we never released it until recently because we could not agree on a band name. On April 26th, we finished a 6 song release after learning from a few mistakes we made last year, and this record shows more maturity in writing and production on our part, but it could still use a little polish. We still cannot agree on a name that we all like, but we wanted to release 10 of our songs, so Throbject it is... Dave sang (ex Guilty Bystander, Craw Jack, Start To Fetish) Pete played guitar (ex One Pound Baby, Black Ranchero) Tim played drums (ex One Pound Baby, Black Ranchero) Ahmasi played bass (ex Craw Jack,The misanthrope Project (1% Records, Confederate Brotherhood, Open Grave Records, Sleeping Village Records, and Land of Smile Records) Sourvein (candlelight records), Innerface, and Crescent Fresh)"
