Bio
..!!! Start Code To Apply Top Banner !!!!.. .. Custom top banner code by Eileen.. .. ..!!! End Code To Apply Top Banner !!!.. ..!.. .. .. .... .. ...... We're a doom-crust punk band from Chicago, and one of the original Taqwacore bands from the Taqwatour in the fall of 2007. Our sound is not your run-of-the-mill hardcore sound, as we mix elements of traditional Middle Eastern music instrumentation; heavy, sludgy, crust punk; and experimental music influences. Our music incorporates rhythmical, theoretical, ideological, and structural hybrids of these various types of music...to create something new. We're glad to meet you. .... we're definitely interested in releasing split records, collaboration, and other stuff.

shit. .. No, seriously though.... I guess you could say it's a combination of Rachid Taha + Assuck + Muslimgauze, with some Doom or some shit thrown in for good measure. I may end up altering this description, as I don't really give a shit about pleasing anyone's tastes but my own, and the music may change accordingly.... .... ....
