Erik Molstad of 1881 created "ONLY - EXORCISM MIX" and won the Rock 102.1 WLUM NIN Remix Contest. The song was aired 10/11/05 on the radio station, and Erik met Trent Reznor and the band on 10/13/05 in Madison.
In 1881, rock, electronic and hip hop fuse into Electro Funk Rock. Mix the groove of DJ Shadow and Soul Coughing, the deep swirling tones of Morphine, and the power of Incubus. Of course there's the long-time NIN influence too...
Just dropping by to let you know that I've posted a new tune on my page called "Break the Habit and the Wolves Get You". It's a remix of a tune called "You Are My Habit" by China White (check out their page, link's in my top friends). Please give it a listen and any comments would be gratefully recieved.
