BEHAVIORS
https://noiseagonymayhem.bandcamp.com/.../the-sad-truth...
Nanaimo BC trio Behaviors harken their sound back to bands from the good ol’ days of pre-Nevermind underground indie rock, later sold to the masses as ‘grunge’ but by then missing some of the original spark. Behaviors have that spark in spades mixed with the abstract notion of the reality of today’s hell hole. But make no mistake, this is no throwback..it is more of a throw-up purge making all the bad feelings flawlessly honest. Knowing right from wrong, living wrong from right, Behaviors bolster your rock given rite to expand your mind down the impure road arriving in the death dance land of rock salvation...and all that is left, brothers and sisters, is to boogie down as it all burns. This sermon is served with a healthy dose of scuzz-fuzz psych rock, sprinkled with a hint of piss & vinegar shaken with uppers, downers and everything in between. Dissipating energy through killer amps, sonorous drumming and a triple vox offensive and voila...Behaviors have saved your dark soul of rock. And now heard all over the streets are these words from the scripture...”Behaviors are the best new band on the West Coast...problem...fight me.”
CAVEMAN & THE BANSHEE

Caveman Dave pounds his riff heavy bass lines over top classic drum machine block rockin’ beats, while Banshee Valentina wails tales of childhood, time travel, burning bridges and wanton lust above it all. Influences include the Plasmatics, Public Enemy, Nina Hagen, early Misfits, psychedelic horror films, underground house shows, Yoko Ono & Atari Teenage Riot.
MASKARA

David Bowie meets Atari Teenage Riot backed by blinding lights and a military-grade sound system. You will see your life flash before your eyes.
