new CD FEED AND WEEP: release date sept 12!

manawi thorn's distinctive sound is driven by the powerful, aggressive and unerringly rhythmic guitar playing of ian roth.

kalin mintchev's polyrhythmic counterpoint on drums is underscored by jim hoey's rumbling bass.

the addition of jsh (also of ANGRY DRAGON, SERIOUS HEART ATTACK) on lead vocals in fall of 2007 marked a turning point for the band with the introduction of dark, wry lyrics, lungbusting feats of prowess, and partial nudity.

influences: melvins; jesus lizard; paper chase; slint; slayer; sleepytime gorilla museum, pj harvey; sonic youth; fantomas; other stuff that rocks, slinks, and makes flesh crawl.
