Sounds Like
a four-letter word for fecal matter, OR the hand of God! :) just kidding... but about which one?!
Since no one can search that description (as funny as I think it is) I should probably include searchable band names in this box. Really, I sound like myself. I probably could be accused of ripping off Nirvana hardcore, which means I sound like Bush, but I refuse to sound like Bush!! Besides, if I'm ripping off Nirvana, that means I'm really ripping off Sonic Youth, which means I'm really ripping off the Pixies, which means I'm really ripping off the Beatles, which means I'm really ripping off Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis, which means I'm really ripping off Cole Porter and Herb Alpert. So, who the hell am I really ripping off?
And with that... I sound like:
at best: a cross between Nirvana and Pink Floyd
at worst: some bizarre love child of a drunken in-studio orgy between Neil Young, Aphex Twin, The Cure, and AC/DC
You figure out who's blowing who in that one! I can only imagine. Would Richard D. James get sloppy seconds on old Neil or Robert Smith, and would Angus Young bother to fuck any of them? Would he prefer to sit in the corner with his prize SG and just jerk off to the whole scene?
Ross goes by Gunshy on Newgrounds.com, but you may know that already. It's kinda confusing, to me... but whatever.
Ross is a different kind of music, altogether.
'It's a different kind of music.'
Some of it is grunge, but some of it is electronic. Even the grunge can get a little techno-ey, if that's even allowed. :) The techno is more progressive, but even the grunge is pretty prog for grunge.
This music is music to your brain, too, I think. All of this is post-grunge progressive electronic psychedelic punk rock from a one-man/one-computer band independently based in South Jersey and on the Internet.
All the music you are hearing and (hopefully) enjoying was conceived, recorded, produced, mixed, and engineered at the Egg House in Pitman, NJ, by me.
By placing works (of music, art, lyrics, literature, et cetera) on Myspace (and anywhere else) I am making the official claim that it (in its entirety) is my original work, thereby entitling me to full copyright ownership status under the auspices and guidelines of any and all copyright laws of, but not limited to, the United States, its incorporated and unincorprated territories, and the known universe. So there.
PLAY IT LOUD!!

This band's dark, forboding profile was tweaked and fucked-with and personalized using some stupid basic-as-hell profile editor that I found using Google called qnun.com Editor
