PLEASUREHORSE

MONSTROISTY BRINKMAN

more TBA
-----------------------------

PRURIENT - Providence, RI (Hospital Productions/Groundfault/Load...)
spastic harsh noise filth...violent audio!
"It's an acknowledgement of the complexity of the world, a rejection
of the simple-minded, anger-fueled world of shit...Within Prurient's
noise, there is no easy answer, no one emotion that can be held to and
ridden through the waves of destruction; rage, fear, and sadness
abound here, but they are certainly not the only emotions to be found
in this music. This is an utter and complete cleansing, noise with a
human soul squarely at its center". -stylus magazine
http://hospitalproductions.com

SINKING BODY - Providence, RI ( Vermiform/Kill Rock Stars/Load...)
Neil Burke and his electronic weirdness! brain damaged mental scapes.
members from: Men's Recovery Project, Lifesblood, Danse Asshole...
http://www.sinkingbody.com/


PLEASUREHORSE - Providence, RI (Load/Vermiform/History of the Future)
fucked up hard electronics/rhythmic noises!
"Rhode Island teeth pulverizer PLEASUREHORSE (members of SIX FINGER
SATELLITE). An all-out assault of ultra-panic sound destruction
created with a gameboy controller, eight track tape machines,
samplers, stompboxes, used Tic Tac containers and sweat socks, all
exploded through an eight-foot-high bass stack. An ear-wrecking
crucifixion played with DJ Scud's velocity, Timbaland's bling, and
Slayer's volume. Previous split releases with Dropdead and Mystery
Brinkman (Forcefield)." -Midheaven
http://www.loadrecords.com/bands/horse.html


MONSTROSITY BRINKMAN - Providence, RI (Load)
a.k.a. Mystery Brinkman. sick noise trauma!
member from: Mindflayer, Forcefield, Danse Asshole...
"...Brinkman lays down some Robotussin laced narco beats. Strange
voices, handicapped hip hop, and ATTITUDE my friend....Definitely not
for inexperienced dance floors." -Load Records
