The Locust

Originally a powerviolence band with a strong tendency towards synth-based passages, they have more recently stripped down much of their past sound, but retained the heavy distortion, synthesizers, screamed vocals, and intense stage presence. On the band's unique sound and live presentations, singer/bassist Justin Pearson has said, "I wanted to change the way people perceive music, or maybe just destroy it in general." Their music is complex, dynamic and fast-paced, often featuring abrupt and inconsistent time-signature changes. These erratic elements are, according to guitarist Bobby Bray, "a reflection of perhaps how our brains have to function in order to be able to do anything in the Western societies we live in." ______________________________________ Discography - Albums The Locust (1998) Plague Soundscapes (2003) New Erections (2007) The Peel Sessions (2010) - EPs The Locust (1997) Flight of the Wounded Locust (2001) Well I'll Be a Monkey's Uncle (2002) Follow the Flock, Step in Shit (2003) Safety Second, Body Last (2005) - Splits split with Man Is the Bastard (1995) split with Jenny Piccolo (1995) split with Arab on Radar (2000) split with Melt-Banana (2002) - Compilations Molecular Genetics from the Gold Standard Labs (2012) _______________________________________ - Состав: Bobby Bray: гитара, вокал Justin Pearson: бас-гитара, вокал Gabe Serbian: ударные Joseph Karam: клавишные, вокал - Бывшие участники: David Astor: ударные James Lavelle: клавишные, вокал Dylan Scharf: гитара, вокал Dave Warshaw: клавишные, вокал
