Biography:

Wirehead; the Semuta; the mind-lube of the ubiquitous tasp. Drawing on the sum total of the late 20th Century's golden age of music; neither aping the past or recycling the already reprocessed fifth generation lossy culture of the early 21st Century. A bold claim, surely and one that will only gain weight through the course of time's ticking.

The debut double-combo-platter of Notes About You and Der Snatch clearly planting their flag of intent, right between the dulled orbs of the weary pop music acolyte and squeegeeing their third eye with said psychedelic pennon.
