Sounds Like
A few select people dying at this very moment or a giant school bus with tinted windows. Also sounds like instrumental songs of political sabotage. For hundreds of years, Oakland, California's POREST has exploited reckless composition, performance and worldwide documentation via multi-instrumentation, field recordings, perverse cut-uppers, dirty bomb audio downers and whatever else gets in the way. On full-length albums released by Seeland, Resipiscent and Abduction records, Porest has issued a confounding collection of music and audio works ranging from mangled pop and surrealist radio-dramas to diabolical protean ear-wash. Gergis is a contributor to the Sublime Frequencies label, producing collections of rare music, film, field and regional radio recordings from the Middle East, Asia and beyond. He is also a founding member of the shape-shifting Bay Area group MONO PAUSE and its Southeast Asian permutation, NEUNG PHAK, among others. ****Out now on Abduction Records: TOURRORISTS! cd***On Resipiscent: MOOD NOOSE cd *****On Seeland: PRUDE JUICE for the HERITAGE SWINGER cd. =============================================================Porest isn't a political band watching an indigenous wife-beating with a privileged pair of elitist binoculars. Negate genre and dogma by avoiding both, without denying either.

The previous Porest myspace site was deleted without warning on September 28, 2006 for "violations" (see the blog "ISRAEL:Grand Finale" for more info) And now, here, it lives again.....There's always porest.com in case I'm shut down again..Description:

There is no place for violence in the evolved consciousness. I pray for all souls who abuse religion for their own egotistical agendas. There is nothing except that which we create. Human beings are prisoners in a world created by primitive language. Bless them for there are no enemies.
